Whether or not you buy the rumored BlackBerry 99XX leak from Rogers, the device certainly exists, according to a metrics report from a Venezuelan BlackBerry blog. There’s always the risk that such an identification was simply spoofed on the browser’s end, but there have been rumblings of a 9900 model for some time now, going by the codename Pluto. Like some twisted hybrid out of Greek mythology, the Pluto will supposedly have the body of a Bold, and the clicking touchscreen of a Storm, but these reports don’t confirm much of anything other than a model number’s existance. It was running OS 5.0.03, which will likely see numerous upgrades before it gets released.
