Default Is the Magnum the UNICORN of the BB WORLD??

I really think this phone is just a myth at this point... I've been trying to get my hands on one of these badboys and its "kind of" impossible.

Also, nobody seems to know what it looks like, and I can't find a real picture of it either. So, that all together makes me believe that the phone is just a "UNICORN" of the BB WORLD

So, just to be clear. You are saying that my threat is the only "mythical creature" of this forum????

I'm beginning to think the same. I can't believe no one has had one of these yet...maybe Kevin does but he is just hiding it from us.. jk. I hope one day we will see the beast.

I wouldn't go as far as saying no one has had one yet. There's a few time I've heard about Magnums for sale...

The original magnum (touch screen bold I believe?) was scrapped. I believe the new design is still in early testing (this could be 100% incorrect btw...)

I usually do a search on Twitter every day for BlackBerry Magnum. Apprx. 7 days ago someone posted a pic of it on TwitPic, but then it was taken down. Who knows if it was legit or not though. I never saw it unfortunately. The guy said it "..looks like it's coming to T-Mobile..." I don't really think he knew what was going on

Its a mixture of both myth and reality at this point. But until i see it with my own eyes i'm calling bluff. I know Aliens exist but until i see them i'm cry wolf. It kills me that this is the most anticipated BB and there is relatively no info, pics or anything out there. Also if they did have a prototype and did decide to scrap it like the rumors then why not release info or pics of the scrapped concept. I mean every other BB has leaked in some shape or fashion except for this one.

There could be many prototypes for this device. Who says there was only two? And only one got scrapped? And not every other BB has leaked. There's some very good ones that haven't hit the public yet.

Default ...

as far as i know that magnum went back to the drawing board because they were going to make it surepress like the storm but to many people complained about the storm getting dust under the screen and gaps around the edges for the click, so the were changing things around to make a capacitive touch for it instead like the storm 2 is going to be at least that's what my RIM rep told me
