It kind of reminds of the new Palm Centro with its ovalish shape~via NimiBerry (wap.pinstack.com)~

if you ask me ----i think just that the shell of the phone is real....the actual buttons, and trackball would not be the finished product--- the surrounding portion of the phone looks made to be touch screen----rounded edges-not made for grabbing and typing-----probably was leaked out as a prototype-for the surrounding portion of the phone----ive seen blackberry prototypes like this before where they were just just testing certain integrity of the phone without it being fully done......or like everyone else said---BOOTLEGG!!!!!--------- someone should just forward this to rim and ask them...

The sad thing is, if a Stacker doesn't buy this phone we may NEVER know the real story. It is interesting though.

Thats what i was thinking. The chinese made a Nokia N71 imposter and renamed it a while back.

P.S. I think this is just a cheap way to BETA test and get "on the low" opinions on looks and style. Nice try RIM. I like the looks though.

well somebody is gonna buy it and hopefully take it apart.
I am sure it will end up on BGR, Engadget, here and there, and over yonder....

i dont honesty think they would personally admit or even give me the time of day,-but the (mods) on here that can pass this on or make a phone call and ask them their personal opinion,would probably be of assistance..........

NICKY88XX · #58 12-31-2007 -

ok i just went up to 400... lol and im outbid out bid out bid. im going to watch this item till the closing seconds. this is good advertisment for this seller. it would be a pity if this was a dummy phone.

**j llama** · #59 12-31-2007 -

wow, bidding is up to $400, I hope who ever gets it, get more than just a shell...lol. If internal stuff is working maybe you could at least tinker around by hooking it up to a pc (once you get a working battery)
