Isaiah's Tech

BGR has picked up big exclusive news about a new RIM smartphone. Codenamed the BlackBerry "Dakota", this smartphone has been in the works for quite sometime. It definitely looks like it's the touchscreen Bold that we've been hearing about for a long time; it'll likely be a part of RIM's growing Bold Series whenever it launches.

Specs reportedly include a 2.8-inch VGA capacitive touchscreen display (640 x 480 resolution), a 5MP camera with HD video recording and a flash, 4GB of internal storage, 768MB of RAM, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth support, NFC, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE / tri-band UMTS connectivity, a microUSB port, a magnetometer / accelerometer / proximity sensor, a 10.5mm thin body, 3G mobile hotspot, and BB OS 6.1. It definitely raises the bar in the BlackBerry world, but it's sad to see that the only thing missing here is how fast the CPU is. No clue on when this one will launch.
