::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 A prototype of a BlackBerry touchscreen QWERTY hybrid phone has been leaked by folks at Cellguru. Before starting to jump with joy, let us also add that the project seems to have been scrapped and this device might actually never make it to the assembly line. The phone known as the Blackberry Magnum was always in the rumor mills for the past few months. The device was supposed to be a QWERTY phone like most mainstream BlackBerries - but with a touch sensitive screen. The Magnum, if it ever makes into production would be the first such phone from BlackBerry. The prototype seen in the image shares design cues from the BlackBerry Bold and is actually quite a sleek looker. Apart from the aforementioned Magnum concept, RIM also has another touchscreen phone project underway called BlackBerry Dakota. This too would be a touchscreen device, but is likely to NOT share anything in common with that of the Bold 9000 form factor. The Dakota is also likely to sport a liquid lens camera that changes its shape to focus, rather than relying on a bulky mechanical focus method. It is also expected to arrive in a smaller form factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
