These images surfaced from Dripher showing what looks like to us as the BlackBerry Torch 9800.  Cosmetically it’s all the same except the OS.  It resembles the Storm OS (5.0) with the blocked up icons.  So is it safe to say the Tardis was indeed a prototype of the Torch 9800 or just an early test unit  My guess is that this was nothing but some hardware testing from the past so the OS was not relevant.
