Not impressed.
Next time when you post a photoshopped image of a BlackBerry, make sure you don’t leave the mic hole from a BlackBerry 8800 on the bottom. It’s a dead giveaway. So is it 100% photoshopped? No. But we’d go as far as 99.99% since we made this in about 8 minutes and the original picture just doesn’t feel right. Who knows.
Let someone else have the spotlight for once. Just because they got it before you doesn’t mean you need to call it fake you arrogant pricks. And not only that, but you attack them as if they did something wrong, as if you’ve never posted any false information. Part of blogging is rumors, and of all people you should know this. They simply posted a new image of a device and let the readers call it fake if they wanted, as it should be.
When is this coming to Verizon?
I believe BGR was the first to post the rumor of a touchscreen BlackBerry with a physical keyboard, so I can understand his being pissed about some hack photochop job getting credit for a new model that probably doesn’t exist.
I find that both CrackBerry AND BoyGeniusReport are great resources for BlackBerry news and leaks though. I read both fairly faithfully and the idea of their supposed rivalry seems pretty silly.
I will remain a daily reader either way.
@JayJay that was a comment directed @Ry, explaining that the reason BGR posted this was to defend his viewpoint that what was posted at crackberry was a fake.
I hit the reply button, expecting it to reply to the post, not the comment thread.
regardless if the pic is real or fake – BGR is an arrogant prick. Get over yourself already will you
Photoshop or not I hope this gets the info churning on the 9900…I’m eagerly awaiting this to replace my curve. If not I’m gonna get a bold but I’ll be seriously let down.
Perhaps boys and girls we shall let time tell the story of the 9900 hmm?
Additional generic cop compliment, Brian!
the 9900 is a white myth, like larry bird, or colorado.
Eff’in Gizmodo deleted my comments linking to this topic.
The picture they posted, why does the box look like a disfigured star pinching in on the sides and at the top?
BURN GIZMODO.
The crackberry one says go to page 99 for more info this one says 1,291?!
WTF?! FAKEEE!!!
Mathias Rios, I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but you’re a fucking idiot.
Wow. So clearly an 88xx…
SMH This is a bitch move… even for you BG
What did I do? Go to the Crackberry Pic and It says Page 99, and on BGR it says 1,291.
Even the text “Confidential” is different in both Pics
@Mathias:
Apparently you don’t get the sarcasm intended by this pic. BG went out of his way to make this picture ridiculous in his pompous attempt to take jabs at Crackberry’s post.
