Blackberry Dakota surfaces

BGR dropped the exclusive on RIM’s new Dakota device. The form factor is familiar to all, but with a few additions. Here are the list of official features.

• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
• Tri-band UMTS
• 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording, flash, and image stabilization
• 4GB of built in storage, 768MB of RAM
• 2.8-inch VGA 640×480 capacitive screen
• WiFi b,g,n on 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies
• 3G mobile hotspot!
• MicroUSB port
• Bluetooth
• NFC
• Magnetometer
• Accelerometer
• Proximity sensor
• 10.5mm thin
• Launches with BlackBerry OS 6.1

On paper it looks like a winner, the form factor Blackberry fans know and love. Add a touch screen to the mix and it all gets really interesting, right? WRONG!

I have no idea what this device is about, and I get the strangest feeling neither does RIM. But hey, lets just wait until it hits the market and see how it does.
