The mysterious Porsche Design-created BlackBerry has been confirmed by an invite sent to the media. The BlackBerry 9980, sometimes called the Knight, will be unveiled at an October 27 event in Dubai that Stuff and others will attend. Details were short in the invoite, but it would be an "exclusive collaboration," the invite read.
The HTC Knight, which was first heard of at the end of October, will be a 4G phone with a sliding QWERTY keyboard, BGR said on Monday. The phone, which has also been rumored to be called the Speedy when it is said to arrive at Sprint on January 6, may be offered with a dual-core processor. An unnamed source said there should be an eight-megapixel camera onboard.
A newly leaked handset from HTC is coming to Sprint early next year. The HTC Knight will apparently be called the Speedy when it arrives on January 6, which is also the first day of the annual CES show. More accurately, the case for the Knight will arrive on the sixth, but this is more than likely to accompany the phone itself.
British science fiction legend and visionary Sir Arthur C. Clarke today passed on in his home in Sri Lanka, after suffering a cardio-respiratory attack. The author, whose prophetic works inspired such films as Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, predicted such things as space shuttle, super computers, and rapid communications systems years before their time. He also inspired several other of science fiction's household names, such as Gene Roddenberry.
