The elusive BlackBerry Dakota has made its way back into the spotlight. BGR has revealed the specs for the rumored QWERTY/touchscreen BlackBerry. It looks like the device is still out there in the shadows somewhere and has some pretty impressive specs to go with it. It holds basically the same form factor as the Bold series, but mixes a full QWERTY keyboard with a touchscreen. It also sports HD video, 4GB of storage with 768MB of RAM and can be used as a mobile 3G hotspot. It also looks like it will ship with BlackBerry 6.1 that we first heard of yesterday. All in all some good stuff here, so lets hope we get some more details on this guy soon. Hit the source link for the full specs.

Since I rarely leave the country I don't carry an...
The BlackBerry Bold 9900 makes a return to ShopBlackBerry in North America
Here's an odd one - The good old BlackBerry Bold 9900 has appeared once again in ShopBlackBerry.

Don't get me wrong - the 9900 was an awesome powerhouse for those of us that wanted the best communication device on the market, but that was a few years back. Where I find...

I hope the BlackBerry Classic's trackpad lights up and powers down like it does on the Bold 9900
Or more specifically, I hope like the BlackBerry Bold 9900, there is a ring or design element around the BlackBerry Classic's trackpad that lights up for notifications, and is last to turn off when the screen / keyboard backlighting powers down. I had this realization when I was out for dinner with my cousin Vinny on the weekend. He was on his Bold 9900 all night, and the room was...

The real reason My Cousin Vinny downgraded from the BlackBerry Z10 to a Bold 9900 and is waiting on the Classic...
"Because I can use it way better while driving" Ok, Ok. Now before you go ripping Vinny apart in the comments, let me tell the full story here. My cousin Vinny isn't Joe Pesci. He's actually the guy below. And Vinny isn't technically my cousin. In reality, he's my fiancée's godmother's sister's daughter's boyfriend (and that's the truth). He's also a hardcore BlackBerry user. Not...
