While combing through the Rogers online store this morning to see if they would be offering the new Curve (they will be, before the end of the month), I saw that they had the Torch 9860 available for sale. After calling around to a few brick and mortar stores, it doesn’t sound like they’re in…
The Swype virtual keyboard has been updated to beta 3.25 with a couple of handy new features. The most flashy of them are new gestures that are made by tracing from the Swype key in the bottom-left. Trace up to A to select everything in the current text box, trace to C to copy it,…

The two of them are fairly similar when it comes to specs; they both have 1.2 GHz processors,…

Pricing sits at $49.99 on a two-year contract, which is a totally reasonable ask for an iterative upgrade that looks at first glance identical to the BlackBerry Torch launched last year.
