Well, maybe not exactly multi-touch really. So sue me.
But I would certainly be all thumbs to use one of the next BlackBerry phones on RIM’s product line if The Cool Guy Report’s report is accurate. After so many Berry aficionados clamoring for a BlackBerry with both QWERTY keyboard and touch screen, maybe RIM has finally given in: a BlackBerry with more human interaction input interfaces than you can wag a finger at.

Remember a while ago, probably 6 months ago, we all heard about this “mythical” Berry called “The Magnum”? We all thought it was going to have a touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, and it was supposed to be the size of a Bold. So, what ever happened to that phone?I guess the answer to that one is easy:
1) Name: Dakota
2) Size: Bold size
3) full QWERTY keyboard
4) GSM 3G speeds
5) Has a trackpad — yes, you read correctly
6) Has a touchscreen (this is where the angels start singing)
7) Its development is AHEAD of the Blackberry Essex. Yep, we are going to see this bad boy really soon.
Would you be interested in buying it?

I’m glad it’s not an iPhone, or someone would quickly scare up a Hopscotch app, or something like that.

So the crucial question is: would you be interested in buying it? Come on, we like it when an article gets over a hundred comments.

I’m in, depending on the cost and the network. I’m ready to upgrade my 8900 to a BB with at least 3G connectivity. I feel like I’m still in the stone ages over here.

Yes I would also be interested. I want the 9700 right now, but this would change that.

I would definitely want one if Tmo got their hands on it. I was wanting the 9700 but this one trumps the 9700.
Dito the 8900 is one of the better BBs available right now. Great BB.

I love my Bold, this phone is begining to sound like a bold with a trackpad and touchscreen, I briefly considered a Storm but this phone would change everything, If this phone goes to AT&T ill buy it on day one based on how well my Bold works on AT&T, if it goes to T-Mobile ill keep my Bold and hope for an AT&T model down the road. The AT&T Coverage and 3G is stellar in the high desert area that I live, I just cant give that up

Yes, I would love it. It would be great also if Garmin can have its GPS software work with preloaded maps!
