While AT&T customers in the U.S. have had the Torch for a few weeks now, Canadians have been patiently waiting for an official launch date at the very least. Last week we let you know internal Futureshop screenshots show off a September 15th sale date, so our assumption is that it will be available for pre-order, or that the date has simply been pushed back. Along with the official announcement, RogersMiranda also posted a video showing off an interview she did with Michael McDowell, BlackBerry’s Director of Marketing, covering some of the changes the new device from RIM is bringing to the market. Check below for the video.
UPDATEs: Bell andTelus have confirmed they will be launching the Torch 9800 on September 24th as well. No confirmation yet on pricing, but it will likely be $199 on a 3 year term as well.
Canadians, will you be picking up a Torch 9800 on launch day?
