With the BlackBerry Bold 9780 refresh starting to ship worldwide this month we now have another rumor for the device. The device has been spotted decked out totally in bright red before but now we also have it on video. I am not sure if this is not just a Colorware or other aftermarket job but it looks nicely done.
RIM did just release the Torch in white and red variants so it could be possible that they want to spice up the 9780 with more than the white and black options the 9700 had. It does not look like normal RIM designs since they usually leave a little chrome but the latest 9800 in red ditches the chrome too.
So what do you think of the red BlackBerry Bold 9780? Check out a video of the device below:

My first thought when I saw it was Colorware (etc.) since there is no chrome or carrier branding. Then again, without those things a prototype might more easily fly under the radar out in public (until pictured and video’d and blogged).

Yeah I never know since RIM used to do a chrome siding or some contrast to the color but their recent designs are practically all one color.
