Rogers finally reveals the official release date

Written by admin on September 1, 2010 – 1:34 pm -

Despite many posting about how Futureshop was showing a Blackberry Torch in their systems for September 14th (which had me salivating) the Rogers Redboard just recently announced that they’re going to start carrying the device for a 3 year contract for $199 on September 24th. This is a kind of sad price in my opinion as I really felt it would be a better deal at $99 or similar. I think AT&T in the united states was cheaper.

Regardless, I think i’ll be one of the first people to order one of these devices when they are available out here. Above all one of the few devices with an easy to use easy to type on keyboard, and a web kit browser in a super compact convenient style, there’s now more reviews about the torch than one person can easily count and yet there’s till coming out every day with one recent review by a busy mom who uses the productivity tool to further her organization skills.

There’s been reviews from the point of a business man, and of course the standard engadget, gizmodo and other type boy genius reviews.

There was also a review smashing the major new features of the phone stating that most of them weren’t very useful from a crackberry blogger, but overall… The response to the phone has been mixed. Some are finding The blackberry torch to be a very practical and well designed simplistic device they absolutely love while others are showing their lack of content for the processor (same one as a bold 9700) and the lack of OpenGl thus making it a non-gaming platform and a few other features that were missing as well.

The display was a bit disappointing with a lack of higher resolution, but the truth is overall it’s still a very practical device and much easier to use than an iPhone or any other android when typing. A close similar would be the motorola charm which I am anxious to test. However, with my testing on the Google Nexus One, it’s an obvious fact that no matter how well Motoblur was designed, the Gmail functionality will still be slower and less enjoyable than a blackberry and there’s still nothing in comparison to Viigo RSS reader for the Android phone to date.
