Bell BlackBerry Torch 9860 now launching August 31st, $129.99 on 3-year

By on August 22, 2011 at 11:50am in Bell Mobility News, Mobile News


An internal Bell doc a couple weeks back pointed to the BlackBerry Torch 9860 being released today, clearly that’s not happening. However, we’ve been informed the new launch date has been scheduled for Wednesday, August 31st. The price points have been MIA, but Future Shop has listed the 3-year term at $129.99 so this might have the no-term price come in at $499.99. To compare, Rogers will be launching the Torch 9860 for $70 more on a 3/yr.

Only a few more days to go… Check it here at Future Shop

    • Have fun buying a phone that you can not customize nor can you even unlock without jailbreaking it ;) . With Blackberry you can buy or get free themes & unlock it & do a lot more then a normal iphone. You need to jailbreak it to do all that stuff. Which is not worth it anymore. I want to see Apple for once let the people have want they need. Not control them

      RIP Jack layton.

  3. This is worth it. Think about it. You can buy this phone for $30 more than the iPhone 4 on a three year deal, and you can support the local Canadian company in your backyard or you can support the American Apple corporation who is trying to kill Canada. As Canadians, we need to stand up, show pride, unite, and defend the evil American corporations coming in here and taking control of our industries and tech. My name is Quiffer, and I AM CANADIAN.

    • Hey Thumber-Downers,

      Imagine having a conversation like this one:
      * Person 1: The BlackBerry needs improvement.
      * Person 2: i disagree.
      * Person 1: Why?
      * Person 2: Because.

      Doesn’t sound very convincing, right? So instead of just thumbing down, explain *why* you disagree with my point of view. Thanks.

    • Jack was a great man, I wish him eternal happiness up there with his iPhone, he deserves it.

      Down here, in hell, we hand out blackberries to our residents much like as is done on earth by companies to their employees.

  8. I heard that this phone has the four buttons on the bottom because RIM engineers couldn’t get the screen to have tactile press feel on the bottom – thus they went with a horrible four button plastic design.

  13. I don’t understand why everyone is wishing Jack Layton well? What is going on? The man is an NDP leader. Why all of a sudden such major love?

  14. RIP Jack Layton.

    This is a lesson learned for using an iPhone 4 and their antenna issues. The iPhone 4 led to Jack’s death since it gave him radiation cancer.

    Please use BlackBerry.

  16. I’ve been a blackberry user since 2008 and I can say that I am fed up. With new smartphones and OS’es out there offering so much more I am done with Blackberry. This is a marginal smartphone and if it came out on any other os it would be regarded as a mid market. It doesn’t outperform any of it’s peers in any meaningful way. If Blackberry is to become a leader it has to do this.

  19. Very disappointed that the Torch 9850/9860 I saw this weekend at Sprint was 3G rather than 4G as posted on many now erroneous comments. Other than that looks like a slick smartphone. Also not available at ATT as suggested and Verizon is totally radio silent.
