Salomondrin.net has said reported that the BlackBerry Dakota will offer a camera with a liquid lens.

This means that the camera will have no moving parts and will mimics how the human eye works when it focuses on a subject.

The BlackBerry Dakota will have be the first BlackBerry to have a touchscreen and full Qwerty keyboard. It will also have a trackpad, and will be the size of the Blackberry Bold.

The Quad-band device will work on GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS.

The BlackBerry Dakota is said to be a full GSM device. No leaked photos of the BlackBerry Dakota are available as of now.

BlackBerry will also launch its BlackBerry Essex phone sometime in 2010. The CDMA device will come with Wi-Fi and a new camera.

Leaked photos of the BlackBerry Essex are floating on the internet. However, there is no information available about the price of the phone or when it will be launched.

Some reports have indicated that the BlackBerry Essex will be launched in February 2009 (unconfirmed).

Meanwhile, there is some more information for BlackBerry fans. Adobe has announced that it will bring full flash support to BlackBerry devices, in association with RIM.
