Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s holiday shopping time.

What does a company do when a product it is selling just isn’t selling? It cuts the price of course. AT&T originally had the BlackBerry Torch 9800 priced at $200 with a two-year contract. Internet retailer Amazon.com beat AT&T on the price by a lot and AT&T responded this holiday season by dropping the price ...

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 has been delayed for its launch in Canada. Everyone was expecting it to come out tomorrow, but the carriers are pushing back the launch. Research In Motion (RIM), who makes the BlackBerry series of smartphones, is a Canadian company, so this is a little embarrassing. The Torch 9800 has been available ...

On August 12th the heavily leaked and highly anticipated Blackberry Torch went on sale via an exclusive deal with At&t. It was anticipated as the phone that would “save” RIM from going the way of Palm. After its first weekend in sales, which was an estimated 150k it looked like Blackberry’s savior would not come ...

I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but if you want a new BlackBerry Torch 9800 then don’t buy it from AT&T. Why? AT&T is selling it for $199 with contract but Amazon.com sells it for only $100 with contract. At $100, the Torch looks a heck of a lot more attractive doesn’t it?
How is Amazon.com getting ...

With a huge release party, mysterious monoliths in AT&T stores and enough leaks to sink the Titanic, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 was dubbed as Research In Motion’s (RIM) real answer to the iPhone and Android OS-powered smartphones.

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 came out just four days ago on August 12 and just enough time has elapsed that all of those looking to give Research In Motion (RIM) a solid kick are lining up to do so. Take for example Goldman Sachs—the banking powerhouse—who has dubbed the Torch's launch as “underwhelming,” noted that ...

This is a big question that a lot of BlackBerry users must be asking themselves—should they grab the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 with its sliding keyboard and touchscreen, or wait for the touchscreen only Storm 3. It’s a more difficult question than you might think. On the one hand, the Torch has the QWERTY keyboard ...

The all new BlackBerry Torch 9800 goes on sale today. It seems like only yesterday that the Torch was still an unverified rumor. Only available currently on AT&T, the Torch promises something that no other BlackBerry before it ever has. A touchscreen you actually want to use combined with a slide-out BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard. It ...

There are few things wrong with Research In Motion’s (RIM) all new BlackBerry Torch 9800 and the things that are might be partially to blame on AT&T. AT&T exerted a considerable amount of control over the design of the Torch and even proposed the phone to RIM. Say what? Believe it.
AT&T pressured RIM to make ...

The iPhone 4 and the BlackBerry Torch 9800 have been put through a head to head browsing speed test and while the Torch is a massive improvement over the Bold 9700, it is noticeably slower than the newest iPhone. Don’t believe me? I have a YouTube video to prove it—one made by BlackBerry fan site ...
