The folks over at Boy Genius Report have got their lucky hands on the Bold Touch 9930 and according to them the phone looks much better in person, than on the product renders, that leaked a while ago. Along with the good looks, the Bold Touch 9900 is reported to be very well-built, too.
Here are some photos of the early production unit. Notice the carbon back battery cover, which seems more and more likely to replace the faux leather one RIM has been using so far.
