RIM’s first BlackBerry smartphone to sport a touchscreen display is all but official at this point. We know what it looks like, we know what it’s called, we even know the selling-points that Verizon is using to sell the darn thing. And, now Verizon has gone live with the BlackBerry Storm – sort of. The…

Samsung SGH-A83 Due at the End of the Month
Photos of this one leaked back at the end of August. But the Samsung SGH-A83 is not expected to be released till the end of this month. Look for it to fill a gap in AT&T’s device line, as it’s more of a ‘rugged’ phone that should appeal to the outdoors type. The Samsung SGH-A83…
