Thread: See the First Live Pics of the upcoming BlackBerry Bold Touch!

We saw not too long ago a single front screenshot of the upcoming BlackBerry Bold Touchscreen, but today N4BB has been able to get us some real live shots of the device! The device is also set to launch with the newly revealed OS 6.1 and has the famous Bold styling, something that BB users have been wanting in a new device for some time now. The Dakota will also include HD video recording, NFC, 3G Mobile hotspot, magnetometer and much, much more! Here are the full specs and more screenshots below...

• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
• Tri-band UMTS
• 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording, flash, and image stabilization
• 4GB of built in storage, 768MB of RAM
• 2.8-inch VGA 640 x 480 capacitive screen
• WiFi b,g,n on 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies
• 3G mobile hotspot!
• MicroUSB port
• Bluetooth
• NFC
• Magnetometer
• Accelerometer
• Proximity sensor
• 10.5mm thin
• Launches with BlackBerry OS 6.1

I would like to know what the battery life whould be like on this unit.

This is what we've been waiting for...
Or atleast your furry blue friend has
The switch from OS5 to OS6 was sweet, I can't wait to see the OS6.1!
I love the "old school" 9000 look, makes me drewl onm my fur!
2011 line up right? No upgrading my 9700 to a 9780 :P
This one is the next one for me. Anybody have an idea on number, seeing it';s going up all the time (900-9700-9780 and now 9800 Torch)?

Are there many/any devices out there that already have this kind of form factor and are touchscreen? Would it have an on-screen keyboard?

BlackBerry is the best in candybar style devices. The touchscreen will just make it easier for navigation rather than having to scroll through items to get what you want with the trackpad. Don't imagine there will be a touch keyboard, but very possible could be built into the OS.

WOW !!!!!!! its wonderful site,,,,BlackBerry is the best in candybar style devices. The touchscreen will just make it easier for navigation rather than having to scroll through items to get what you want with the track pad.......thanks for sharing that.......

Good Info ..... thank you

I can't wait for this thing. The best of two worlds. I can't stand the Storm or the Torch. The slide out keyboard is clumsy at best, and the full touch screen is pretty much useless when you're messaging anyways, since you lose most of the screen real-estate to your thumbs. The only place where I love full touch screens is when watching movies on the device, which drains your battery faster than a Vegas casino drains your wallet.

The touch interface seems intuitive on the Torch, where you can use either the trackpad and keyboard, or the screen itself which will likely translate well into this candybar phone, which looks like the original bold with the ugly girl makeover.

Thanks for sharing the photos and specs. any idea when the phone is going to hit the market?

I imagine that Verizon will be carrying the new Bold Touch as it is similar to the Bold 9000 that was a huge success amongst BB users.

What's up? When I met the BlackBerry first, I was falling the love for it. 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording, flash, and image ,stabilization and Mobile LCD Screens are 2.8-inch VGA 640 x 480. They are suit for boys.
