Spotted: BlackBerry Bold 9980 Gets Snapped in the Wild...Again

Images of a futuristic-looking BlackBerry Bold 9980 were spotted on the Net earlier this month. At first it was believed to be a Chinese knockoff due to the word "PROCEEDING" found on the top bezel. Then rumors began spreading that the phone was actually the work of Porsche Design—which is pretty believable if you consider its jagged, sharply angular exterior. However, a new batch of images has leaked showing off more of the phone's design as well as it running BlackBerry OS 7.

There's still no official word on what the hell this phone is. We hope it's an upcoming BlackBerry, as the design would the craziest thing RIM has done since it put telephone capabilities into its PDAs. It may still be fake, though the BlackBerry OS 7 looks pretty legit to us. Check out more of the images here and decide for yourself.
