The BlackBerry Torch 9800 features a redesigned interface, and new browser that will allow you to view HTML web pages quickly and clearly. It will also offer better messaging capabilities and RSS feeds, offering integrated access to your instant messaging applications and social networking sites. Plus, there's the enhanced multimedia functions and universal search feature. The BlackBerry Torch 9800 sports a 5.0 MP camera, built-in GPS and Wi-Fi, and features a large touch screen with optical trackpad and full, 35-key slide-out QWERTY keyboard. We'll give you pricing details when we have them (Rogers is the only one who has mentioned pricing so far - starting as low as $199.99 on select 3-year terms - so we expect the other carriers will have similar pricing).
**Update: SaskTel has announced that they too will be releasing the BlackBerry Torch at the end of the month.
