BlackBerry 9900 exists?

It seems that extremely early reports coming in show the upcoming BlackBerry 9900, tentatively due out late 2007 (possibly early 2008; possibly earlier), will have a screen resolution of 384×288. This will give the new device a larger viewing area and/or a sharper image but will remain with the same aspect ratio of the 320×240 devices, such as the 8800 and 8700. The device will run OS 5.0.0 at the time of launch, although it may vary as the year moves on.

Aside from those bits of information, there’s really not much else known at this point in time.  I will confirm that the BlackBerry 9900 does, in fact, exist on the Planet Earth.  This is not, however, the consumer-targeted BlackBerry 9100 series device that promises to revolutionize the BlackBerry world, or so says our young intellectual piloting the Starship BGR Enterprise Galaxy II.  Then again, the corporate types may just explode with joyous jubilation when the BlackBerry 9900 finally surfaces.  I’m expecting we’ll see the 9900 series release prior to the long-anticipated debut of the 9100 series devices, but don’t quote me.
