Pictures and even a video of a device known as the BlackBerry 9980 (or as the BlackBerry R47) have got a lot of people scratching their heads as to whether it is really a prototype and perhaps future BlackBerry device or just a heavily modded existing one. The device looks unlike any other BlackBerry device, sharing few of the usual BlackBerry design elements.
New rumours have now surfaced that seem to shed a bit more light on the situation. According to CrackBerry, the device is apparently real and codenamed “Knight”. Under the hood, it is basically a BlackBerry Bold 9900. It was designed by Porsche and looks to be a limited edition device rather than a bold new direction for RIM. N4BB‘s sources support this, adding that it will only be offered to Porsche customers.
Here are another picture and the video:
