Future Shop inventory has revealed that the BlackBerry Torch 9800 will begin its presale on Rogers on September 15th., relatively close to the rumoured September 16 launch on Telus.We haven’t heard much from Bell other than a landing page, but it’s probably a safe bet that they’ll be launching the BlackBerry Torch at around the same time.Those in the UK can expect a similar release schedule from Vodafone. You can ignore the $999.99 pricetag there, it’s more than likely just a placeholder.
The BlackBerry 9800 is RIM’s big next generation device, packing a new portrait sliding form factor complete with physical QWERTY keyboard, HVGA capacitive touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, 624 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, GPS, Wi-Fi, and world roaming 3G. Be sure to check out our review if you’re thinking of picking up the BlackBerry Torch 9800 on Rogers. I wonder if Rogers will, in fact, get that white version…
