BlackBerry Monza appears in Dubai, selling for $1,500

Well well, we would not have expected anything less than for the yet unreleased BlackBerry Monza (also known as the Storm 3 or BlackBerry Touch as listed online) to appear in Dubai’s Craigslist option – and as you know, that oil-rich state has plenty of folks who probably use dollars for toilet paper and literally burn money to light up a cigar, so to fork out $1,500 for an unreleased BlackBerry should be of no problem at all.

The thing is, how genuine is this deal? After all, it could just be a prototype that somehow managed to sneak out from the factory, which means there is no guarantee at all for it to be in full working condition. Perhaps a really hardcore BlackBerry fan might not mind dropping such serious coin on the smartphone, which has been rumored to feature a 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor, a 5-megapixel camera, a 3.7″ display and the all new BlackBerry 7 operating system. Do you think this is the real deal?
