You could be forgiven if you don't remember the BlackBerry Dakota/Magnum - the last time it made an appearance on our site was on... January 28, 2010, and the most interesting thing about it was that this handset offered a capacitive screen. A lot of things changed between then and now, but it seems this phone is finally nearing release - that's, if these leaked photos and specs are of any indication. Despite that no price and availability information is present as of now.
The BlackBerry Dakota is set to come with a 2.8-inchscreen and a magnificent resolution for its size - 480 x 640. It is a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset, and also supports a tri-band UMTS. This device also sports a 5MP camera, 768MB of RAM and a 4GB build-in memory. It is set to launch with BlackBerry OS 6.1, NFC support and is expected to be a 3G mobile hotspot.
No doubt, this is a great read for all BB fanatics, but do you think this phone stands a chance in a harsh smartphone world where Android is becoming better all the time, iOS is successfully holding its ground, and WP7 and webOS are promising much?
