Mobile World Congress 2011 is exactly a month away and we anticipate several new smartphones to be unveiled. Before that, we'll certainly have a few weeks full of leaks, grainy photos and speculations. Jonathan Geller, blogger at BoyGeniusReport, has got an interesting piece of information about an upcoming BlackBerry handset codenamed BlackBerry Dakota.
BlackBerry Dakota bears a close resemblance to the BlackBerry Bold handset. This feature-rich handset also seems to be the thinnest BlackBerry handset with a 10.5 mm thin profile. Dakota has a 2.8-inch VGA capacitive screen to let you touch and interact with the BlackBerry OS. Apart from that this smartphone sports a Near-Field Communication chip, like the one found in the recently released Nexus S device, which could be used for various location based e-commerce services.
The Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Tri-band UMTS supporting Dakota will let you turn it into a 3G Mobile Hotspot. So RIM indeed is following in the footsteps of Android and Apple (with iOS 4.3 update). Dakota will come pre-loaded with BlackBerry OS 6.1 that would bring its own sweet set of features. Mobile Hotspot feature for BlackBerry devices would come with BlackBerry OS 6.1 update.
BlackBerry Dakota would be yet another device to get a 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording after the BlackBerry 9780. The full specifications are listed below:
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE

- 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording, flash, and image stabilization
- 4GB of built in storage, 768MB of RAM
