BlackBerry 9800 Hitting AT&T on the 15th of August?
Jul 21st
It’s no secret that the BlackBerry 9800 slider is coming fast for an official launch on AT&T, but VentureBeat has come up with a date to set your sights on. That date is August 15th, and it comes from John Albright of the BlackBerry Partners Fund who mentioned the date of a new BlackBerry’s release. Later he confirmed our suspicions of the device being the 9800 by naming off features such as a touchscreen with slide-out keyboard.
The biggest news that Albright revealed is that the 9800 has already been distributed to developers, hopefully giving them the tools they need to have their apps ready for the official launch of BlackBerry 6. RIM hasn’t been very good at getting devices out to developers in the past, but if this is true it looks like things are changing on that front.

BlackBerry 9800 Slider Going To Be Called Torch 9800?
Jun 15th
What’s in a name? A lot if you are re-branding an entire product line. The Bold series has become synonymous with style and power, and it has been a couple years since RIM launched a new product line for their BlackBerry series of phones.
The new 9800 slider, which we’ve seen numerous times already, has had the Bold name attached to it since the beginning, since it was thought that all flagship devices would have the name. Crackberry did a little investigative reporting and found that RIM already owns the domain name to BlackBerryTorch.com.
I don’t know if I like the Torch name at the moment, but I didn’t like iPad when it came out. We’ll see where this goes.
