The same cat that brought us the last Magnum scoop (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/blackberry-magnum-prototype-spotted-canned-in-favor-of-somethin/) is back again, this time with a short video detailing the differences between RIM's supposed first effort at making a touchscreen / QWERTY hybrid device and its nearest cousins, the Bold (http://www.engadget.com/tag/blackberry,bold) 9000 and 9700. Notably, the narrator points out that the phone shares its keyboard design more closely with the 9000 than the 9700 -- for aficionados, this can be a crucial difference -- and it generally shares its physical cues with the older Bold apart from a move to micro-USB (and the SurePress (http://www.engadget.com/tag/SurePress/) screen, of course). Sadly, the proto here lacks an operating system so there's not terribly much to see beyond the hardware itself, but it might all be for naught -- the latest intel suggests that this phone has been supplanted by a mysterious "Dakota" with updated specs, so we'll just have to hang on to our Curves and Storms for a little while longer. Follow the break for the full video.Continue reading RIM's (doomed?) BlackBerry Magnum makes its video debut (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/rims-doomed-blackberry-magnum-makes-its-video-debut/)
