No. (or at least I highly highly doubt it, although nobody can really know for sure).
If you really want an autofocus camera, get the Bold 9790. Pretty much the same specs as the 9900, just a smaller screen and keyboard. Depends on your preferences.
Maybe in future a look alike model with 8MP auto focus camera, but I wish my had it
This is really a stepback from RIM, IPHONE is abt same thin as 9900 n with auto focus!
I am thinking that the 99xx series is the end of the road for the series till the BB10 hardware arrives. So reworking the 9900 with a different camera is likely not going to happen.

No. That's not true. The 9790 has a 1GHz processor, whereas the 9900 has a 1.2GHz one. More power in the 9900.
I think the Java based OS is a done deal for RIM at this point. BB 10 will hopefully have better camera... so, I don't think there will be a 99xx refresh model.

bb10 will have AF camera. Dev Alpha has 8 MP AF camera
Older bold models have AF. There's absolutely no excuse for leaving that feature out of their latest and greatest flagship Bold 9900/9930. Inexcusable!

But, people who work at the top of RIM have always found excuses. Look at the reasons they gave for not including AF camera on their premium line, Bold 99xx? If I knew that the camera is this bad that I cannot take clear pictures of my school lab results, I would have saved my money by keeping my Bold 9700.

change camera settings to text or closeup it'll work better/fine.
I've seen people post very good images of menus and pages using the 9900 camera, it can be done, it is just a matter of settings and technique. It isn't as convenient as an auto-focus camera, this is true, but what is done is done, and yet another question on a moot point is answered. The river is cried, time to build a bridge and get over it.
i know bb is getting a lot of slack for this but i dont think many people outside CB are really worried about AF or not. On most carriers websites if you compare stats it'll just say how many MP... a lot of consumers that i know of dont even know the diff. If they want a BB they'll get the 9900 if they want AF they'll get a 9790 or something else. If they dont buy a BB its not because of AF, its they want Andriod or iOs etc.
