AT&T still has a lot of store-stocking to do before the August 12 launch of the BlackBerry Torch 9800, but at least one store has this unit sitting on the shelf in the back. Odds are good that it’s just a training unit or a dummy for the obelisk erected out front in the Torch’s honour, but it’s still progress.
The Torch is RIM’s next-generation BlackBerry, packing an all-new form factor and a mostly-new operating system. With a 5 megapixel camera, HVGA display, 624 MHz processor, 4 GB of internal memory, and 512 MB of RAM, the 9800 will be RIM’s flagship device for the foreseeable future. For those of you in Canada, Bell, Telus, and Rogers have confirmed that they’ll be carrying the BlackBerry 9800, and Vodafone will be offering the Torch in Europe.
