So, when Canadian carriers Rogers and Telus announce that they’re going to get the BlackBerry Torch 9800 on September 24, when do you think Bell’s going to get it? Yep, September 24. Like Rogers and AT&T, Bell will be offering the BlackBerry Torch for $199 on contract, so I think it’s safe to assume Telus…
Anyone up in Canada who doesn’t feel like getting the BlackBerry Torch 9800 from Rogers will be able to snag it from Telus at the same price on the same date: September 24 for $199 on a three-year contract. PR kindly reminded me that they didn’t confirm pricing. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s…
Canadians waiting for the BlackBerry Torch have heard hints of a September 15 presale on Rogers, but they’ve just gone official with a September 24 launch date, and $199 pricetag on a three-year contract. Telus was supposedly launching the BlackBerry Torch on September 16, and Bell will probably offer it around the same time. Here’s…
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…
Bell has just launched their landing page for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 (which is also coming to Rogers and Telus, let’s not forget). We still don’t have an official date for the BlackBerry Torch launch in Canada (mid-September seems likely), but at least now you can sign up for e-mail alerts when there’s any info.…
Attention BlackBerry Developers… it’s time again for another free developer webcast from the good folks in Waterloo! Stuffed in my inbox this morning was the official invite/notification from the team at RIM. The webcast, which is slated for Thursday August 26th at 2PM EST, will focus on the development possibilities available when you combine BlackBerry…
Since I only had the BlackBerry Torch 9800 for a little over a day for my review, and given how important the device is to RIM’s future, it seems prudent to update some of my impressions. My generally positive conclusions have shriveled up a bit since loading up the Torch 9800 with apps and getting…
Displays for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 have started landing at Rogers retail locations, conspicuously missing the actual dummy unit. To either side of the empty spot are RIM’s other flagship devices, the Pearl 9100 and Bold 9700. Some are calling for a launch on September 15, but there’s not much to back that claim up, so…
The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is now out and available on AT&T, but those interested in its history may like to take a look at this prototype, code-named Tardis (after the time-travelling police box from Doctor Who). There’s some Synaptics branding thrown in there, indicating the protoype was something built during their involvement with the capacitive…
We’ve seen casing for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 in red and white (in addition to the stock black we see on AT&T), and now we know where one of them is headed. Rumour has it Rogers will have an exclusive on the white Torch 9800, following behind their other white BlackBerrys. I’ve checked with one…
