URGENT: AT&T AND RIM TO ANNOUNCE BLACKBERRY TORCH SLIDER 9800 NEXT TUESDAY

One of the most anticipated phones-the BlackBerry Torch 9800 Slider-is expected to be introduced next week. The introduction starts at 11 am on August 3rd. The device is part touchscreen and offers a physical QWERTY keyboard and answers the prayers of many ‘Berry fans who wanted a touchscreen like a Storm, but with a great physical keyboard like on the Bold.

Also on board will be the new multimedia centric BlackBerry 6 OS and the new WebKit based browser. The latter includes pinch to zoom and tabbed browsing. The 9800 is the most anticipated device in RIM history and the new browser is said to be as good and as zippy as mobile Safari and the stock browser on Android and webOS phones.
