Anything is possible, but I would like to think that if it was the 9xxx series BB the seller would a least know that much!?!

Hey Joe, I think Hayden himself would know whether its a knock off or not. He is in the dark along with all of us. I think that this pic represents the 9xxx series, I mean, that's what it will look like (maybe lol) however, I doubt this is a working model, and the backwards "B" is just super goofy.

I am clueless. I keep looking at the pic for more weird stuff.

Okay, I may be going out on a limb here, after further review, the ESC key looks a little different than any of the 81xx, 83xx, and 88xx series. The bend to the arrow just looks to "uniform." The previous models have more of a longer arrow that narrows at the bend, unlike this one that stays the same height the whole way.

Hey guys -- lots of fuss about this new picture that leaked. Some say it is the 9000 series, but I have my doubts.

Check out the latest post on BBGeeks.com four our take on it and specific items that point to this being a fraud.

I am too new a member to submit URL's but just head on over to BBGeeks.com -- it is on the home page.

Cheers

Okay there are some major shenagins going on here. BBforums crashed (i was only checking on this story, you guys know where my loyalty is !!!!!lol!!!!) , there are two many ppl named COOPER in this story. Somebody is getting fired from RIM if this is a real device. Who is this Ebay guy? How did he get the device?

(maybe corporate espionage all ninja style hehehe)

And is it me or does the power button on that device appear to be on the "End Call" button instead of a separate button on top? Is that a new feature of the 9xxx series?

If you look closely the "End Call" button looks like it has the circular power symbol like on the RAZR's or other phones that use the "End Call" button as the power button as well. Me personally, if that is the 9xxx series, I'm not too blown away by the design.

The 81xx, and 83xx series have this circle as well.

I can't seem to tell where the number "0" key and the "space" key end. The two keys kind of blur together. If the "0" key is large and in charge, then thats just goofy.

What is the notch in the side railing near the bottom, to the left of ALT key?
Also, it seems as though there are two convenience keys on the left side, a large and a small one.

Blown away? No, me either. But nice looking I think!

I think the "space" key is raised like on the "88xx series" or I'm sure as on others but I can quote the 88xx series since I have one. The picture just distorts it.

I just realized one of the "keys" I thought was a conveince key, is a microSD slot. oops

Thats that Foot-In-Mouth disease I mentioned earlier.

To keep the Pic on this page of the thread as well:
