We've seen another video of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 online today. This video shows the virtual keyboard in action. It seems to be a very responsive device interface for the keyboard.

Will this be your new device of choice?

Little is known about the BlackBerry “Bellagio” 9790, but if you are lucky enough to currently have one in your possession, you'll be happy to know that OS 7.0.0.258 has leaked!

It's sad times indeed. Rogers has decided to officially discontinue the White BlackBerry Torch 9800. No word on the reason for the discontinuation, but one can speculate that it's an early sign of the Torch 9810 being released.

If you needed extra proof that the BlackBerry Torch 2 (9810) was coming to AT&T, well your skepticism can be laid to rest. TechnoBuffalo has leaked images online of a BlackBerry Torch 2 running preloaded AT&T applications. This prototype device is running OS 7.0.0.123, so it could be an older prototype.


Only time (or an official announcement) will tell when this device will launch on AT&T.

If you're excited for upcoming devices, but don't like the 99xx form-factor, you'll be happy to know that the 97xx series lives on! Several leaked tutorial videos of the 9790 have recently leaked online. I personally think this form factor is much better than the 99xx series. It's surprising that we've not heard more about this device with all the recent OS leaks.

With all the 9900 love being spread around the BlackBerry world, many have forgotten about the new Torch 2 launching soon. Today I have a great video for all you Torch 2 fans. It is a face-off between the 9800 and the future 9810.

The BlackBerry Torch 2 still hasn’t been officially announced by RIM or AT&T, and we’re not sure what is taking so long to get this show on the road. This video is a good sign of things to come. It puts us in the right direction, and we should be hearing about a launch soon. For now, just check out the video comparison and enjoy what you see!

Our friends over at N4BB, have released photos of what looks like a Bold 9900. This particular Bold 9900 is sporting a Verizon Wireless logo, thus making it a 9930 and confirming that Verizon will be carrying this device.

This is all to be taking with a grain of salt, as they say. These pictures look pretty legit, but they might not be. You never know these days with photo shop, however this does go along with the Google Ad Leak and the report of 3 new BlackBerry devices by Verizon's CMO.

• Are you going to be one of the first Verizon customers to get the 9930?

The folks over at BerryReview have just attempted to put a squash on the Wireless Charging rumor. Apparently, the false rumors of a wireless charging system, are just that... False.

This is quite unfortunate, but it looks like RIM is holding back and saving the wireless charging idea for future devices. We all know the QNX devices should be launching in 2012 late spring to summer, maybe we will see wireless charging on these future devices.

• If you have anything to add, you know we want to hear it!

Every day we are adding more and more carries to the 9900 list, and today we are adding one more carrier to that list. SaskTel announced today that they will be carrying the 9900, however they have not released a date of this launch.

This matches up perfectly with the news of the BlackBerry Bold 9900 on Bell, considering they share most of the same device line-ups. Bells announced their 9900 will be launching in August, so Sasktel customer may see the phone around the same time.

• If you know anything about a SaskTel launched date, let us know.

Telus is apparently going crazy (or just trying to get rid of old stock) as they've put the BlackBerry Tour 9630 & Pearl 8230 in their 72-hour sale for $0 on a 1-year contract. I'm surprised the 9700 wasn't included in the sale.

After compiling some leaked and rumored data about RIM's new line of devices, we have come up with a small roadmap of possible future release dates.

The first thing you will notice when looking at the roadmap, is the Torch 2 9810. It seems that AT&T has lost its Torch exclusivity, because you can see T-Mobile will be launching the device. Do you think this because AT&T has the the exclusivity or just because AT&T is going to be buying T-Mobile??

The second thing you will notice is the possibility that all devices will be out on the marketing by Black Friday. This will be key for the carriers sales and work great for the holiday season if it works out this way.

• Continue reading and see the roadmap

We've yet to see the Torch 9810, Torch 9860 or Curve 9360 be officially announced by RIM, but it seems these devices may be released by Telus in merely 30 days from now.

The unnamed source provided the following dates as tentatively scheduled:

• BlackBerry Torch 9810 – August 19th
• BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 – August 18 or 19th
• BlackBerry Torch 9860 – August 26th
• BlackBerry “Bellagio” (possibly Curve 9360) – Late September

With their previous video being taken down quickly, MacBerry has posted yet another video of the BlackBerry 9860. It's a nice device, but I'm still leaning towards the Bold 9900.

Virgin Mobile Canada has decided to drop their price for the Pearl 3G to $149 off contract. This now makes the device budget-minded for those who want a prepaid BlackBerry. I might pick up one of these as a backup device to my Bold 9780.
