Another Touchscreen Blackberry? Yet Not A Storm?
The Blackberry Storm2 was the second touchscreen Blackberry in RIM’s portfolio, and now, there seems that a third Blackberry touchscreen is near! However, this is not a regular touchscreen phone, it has a new form factor never seen on any Blackberry before. The leaked Blackberry Dakota is like a palm centro or treo: it has a full touchscreen interface but has the typical Screen-QWERTY form factor. I think that the only reason for RIM to create such a device is that the keyboard on the Storm is not good enough, what other reason could there be?
In my opinion, this form factor is a bit funny for a device. You have to move your finger too much, yet operate the device with less surface available: must be difficult to use a touchscreen device with such a small screen without a stylus. Anyway, this are just leaked shots. The Dakota might be just an experimental device that will never see the market, or not? Well, all we have are the pictures, enjoy! More pics at: CellGuru
