- After seeing Sal post this tidbit on his blog, I am hoping we start to see some information coming on this device.
THE-COOL-GUY-REPORT: Remember the Blackberry Magnum?
Remember a while ago, probably 6 months ago, we all heard about this "mythical" Berry called "The Magnum"? We all thought it was going to have a touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, and it was supposed to be the size of a Bold. So, what ever happened to that phone?
I guess the answer to that one is easy:
1) Name: Dakota
2) Size: Bold size
3) full QWERTY keyboard
4) GSM 3G speeds
5) Has a trackpad <--- yes, you read correctly
6) Has a touchscreen (this is where the angels start singing)
7) Its development is AHEAD of the Blackberry Essex. Yep, we are going to see this bad boy really soon.
Would you be interested in buying it?09-18-09 02:52 PMLike 0 - Its development is AHEAD of the Blackberry Essex. Yep, we are going to see this bad boy really soon.09-18-09 03:00 PMLike 0

It seems these other companies are leaving RIM behind with the advances in technologies.09-18-09 04:34 PMLike 0 - Trackpad and Touchscreen? Aren't they a little contradictory? I'm sure there is a reason for it. Any ideas or facts?09-18-09 05:27 PMLike 0
- I see what you are saying, but its the best of both worlds. Whenever you have greasy fingers just use the trackpad like a regular berry, and whenever you are feeling adventurous just go with the touchscreen LOL09-18-09 05:30 PMLike 0
- It does seem a bit silly to have both options.
Maybe RIM are putting all there eggs in one basket.
Stick with one method i say and build round it.
would be interesting to see what they would come up with intergrating both input methods.09-18-09 06:20 PMLike 0 -
- It could be a year+ out. We haven't seen any in the wild, no one's seen prereleases, specs, or any details really except what Salomondrin's leaked. You'd probably be safe getting an Onyx and one of these when they eventually come out.09-18-09 08:41 PMLike 0
- I just don't understand you people who are so unimaginative that you can't fathom the use of a trackpad/trackball AND a touchscreen. I mean seriously...think outside the box for half a second.
That being said - I'd love to see this soon - I actually had thoughts of trying the oh-so-little Onyx to see if I could actually enjoy it without being Bold-sized but this might keep that thought at bay.09-18-09 09:51 PMLike 0 -

- I guess it is just me but... I burned out on this one. I waited and waited and posted (http://forums.crackberry.com/f150/bo...master-276578/) and then waited some more...
I'm getting an Onyx or a S2 as soon as the two are out available to touch and feel.
Is it just me, or RIM are spreading themselves thin lately becoming slow to deliver? Each device is rumoured for at least a year before we get to touch it and then another six months to finally reach consumers? Seriously folks, it takes 6 months to develop a car and launch it - as cool and awesome BBs are, they cannot possibly take so much time to dev and launch...

However, you have to remember when you follow phones on sites such as this you are getting insight to leaked information. Therefore you may hear about a phone 6 months prior to anyone even wanting to you. Obviously, to us addicts, this is a blessing and a curse.
I would never wait. Get the ONYX and enjoy it. Who knows when this thing comes out. You will always be able to sell your ONYX to buy the Dakota.09-19-09 07:46 AMLike 0 -

- I don't see the problem with having both. As mentioned before you can used the trackpad/ball for navigating and the touch screen for selection. Since i switched from a storm to a tour there are plenty of time when i just want to tap the screen and other times when i had the storm i wish i was able to scroll over with the trackball. Personal preference i guess09-19-09 11:25 AMLike 0
