First Leaked Photo Of The BlackBerry Dakota, Non-Sliding Touchscreen/QWERTY Combo Device!

By Mauricio

The BlackBerry Dakota has surfaced again thanks to the guys over at BGR. They were able to get their hands on what is apparently the “first ever photo” of the non-sliding, touchscreen/QWERTY combo device. The Dakota looks like it has a Bold 9000 body with a TrackPad, the Bold 9700 keyboard and a touchscreen along with specs like HD video recording, NFC, 3G Mobile hotspot, magnetometer and more!

The BlackBerry Dakota will also come with the just announced BlackBerry 6.1. Back in January 2010 someone had leaked photos of what they said was the Dakota/Magnum and I have to say, they look pretty similar to this new one save for the lack of a TrackPad. I guess BG’s can still be considered the first image since it’s closer to the final product. Personally, I would prefer a BlackBerry with QNX on it but since that may take a while, I’ll definitely be grabbing one of these.
