The odd BlackBerry Bold 9980 R47 concept phone has reared its head again in China. It now has a photoshoot next to a T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9900 for comparison. Nothing really new here but you can now see how similar or different the devices look. Let us know if you spot anything!
I am still not sure what to make of this mysterious BlackBerry 9980 R47 rumored Porsche concept phone codenamed “Knight” but its entertaining either way. The latest out of China from BerryCN are some stock pictures of the device. Its kind of odd to check out stock pictures after seeing pictures and video of a device but who knows. They are still calling it a design concept but I am sort of weird-ed out by that fourth icon in this render? Anybody want one of these frankenberrys?
The rumor mill is in full force this weekend. It all started with MaxPDA posting some high res pictures of the elusive industrial design style BlackBerry Bold 9980 which was meant for exclusive buyers. The device looks like an abomination of the BlackBerry Bold 9900 but I guess that is how designers charge exorbitant prices for “art”. Then BerryCN came in with some video of the BlackBerry R47 9980 for us to ponder over making us pretty confident that its not photoshopped.
Now Bla1ze over @CrackBerry posted up some speculation that this BlackBerry R47 is an exclusive limited edition device for Porsche customers codenamed “Knight”. Who knows but you would think RIM could find other ways to capitalize on name brands. Porsche does not have the best track record when it comes to designing things other than cars…
