T-Mobile “See BlackBerry Different” Event Reveals PlayBook & Other Devices Coming This Year?

For some of you this will come as a breath of fresh air, the rest of you won’t care.  Either way, it turns out that T-Mobile was holding a “See Blackberry Different” event for its employees not too long ago.  At this super special event they detailed some upcoming Blackberry devices that will surely makes RIMs presence known on T-Mobile.  First, there were talks of a wifi only Blackberry Playbook, because tablets are the future don’t you know?  Second, they detailed the Blackberry Storm 3, the next generation of the all touch, all the time Storm line.  Next, the real star of the show in my opinion, is the Blackberry Dakota, with a full Bold style keyboard and a smaller touchscreen above that.  Lastly, a new Curve, but you should have expected that one.  BGR had a leakfest of some of these devices earlier this year, so continue on for alleged pictures and specs!
