The major thrust of what Dawg wrote was true: a BB with camera and music player, noticably thinner than other models. However, the details were wrong: Dawg stated the device had a full QWERTY keyboard; this one does not and uses the suretype system. Dawg compared the unit in size to an iPod nano; this one is much larger than that device, probably more akin to the SLVR in size. Dawg also stated that the device had a camera superior to his Samsung digicam; of course we don't know at this point whether this is true or not, but on the other major points it appears that Dawg in his enthusiasm exaggerated things a bit. I don't say this as criticism of Dawg, only in analysis. What's the lesson to be learned? That with regards to rumors, they are more likely to be true on the vague, larger points rather than in the details.
