We’ve heard so much about Blackberry Dakota. Now if you really wanted some official leaks to believe, this video will do for you. This is the advert for the upcoming Blackberry Bold Touch 9900. This was not the only advert to get leaked. The upcoming Blackberry Touch 9860 probably the successor to Torch also got its own advert leaked the same day. Both clips came out through N4BB and are about 30 seconds each.
Honestly, dont expect much from the videos. Its mostly icons floating around a cityscape and then you get a quick glimpse of the phone at the end. TechCrunch reckons these ads could be for just about any phone out there and we kind of agree!! But the fact that RIM already has the adverts ready means these two are not far from hitting the shelves.
If you were wondering about the specs, both got leaked earlier this week. The Dakota has a 1.2GHz processor, 768MB RAM, 8GB of built in memory, a 2.8″ VGA capacitive touchscreen on top of the usual Bold keyboard and a 5MP camera with 720p video recording, all in a 10.5mm thin body. The Touch 9860 (also called Monza or Monaco) is a full touchscreen phone with the same 1.2GHz processor, 768MB RAM, 4GB memory and a bigger 3.7″ WVGA display. Blackberry World is coming up in May, so we should know more by then. Stay tuned.
