ABZORB OFFER EARLY ACCESS TO THE BLACKBERRY DAKOTA 9900

28/07/11
Abzorb are now taking orders for the coveted BlackBerry Dakota 9900.*
This fantastic new BlackBerry smartphone will be officially released by RIM on Friday August 19th but Abzorb have secured the device for dispatch from August 15th onwards!
The slim and stylish Dakota is the next evolution in the BlackBerry Bold product line and the first BlackBerry Bold to run on the new BlackBerry 7 operating system.*
BlackBerry 7 is designed to optimise BlackBerry smartphones with touchscreen capabilities; so it comes as no surprise that the BlackBerry Dakota 9900 compliments the tried and tested QWERTY keyboard with a smooth and tactile touchscreen.*
The Dakota�s touchscreen combined with BlackBerry 7 lends itself to a far greater web browsing experience than its predecessors.*
In addition to all this, the Dakota ships with BlackBerry Maps and an NFC mobile payments chip; this is the BlackBerry smartphone you have been waiting for.*

Interesting find. Phones4u UK is also despatching them on Aug 15th.
