It looks like it’s pretty confirmed here as hurlo let me know that Vodafone UK has put up a “Coming Soon” page for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 right on their site.  What fascinates me is how specs are written out on devices for each carrier.  Here are the Vodafone highlights for the Torch 9800:

A large touchscreen – and a QWERTY keypad

• The new BlackBerry Torch has a touchscreen that works like those on other smartphones. Simply tap it with your finger and it responds fast. And when you want to type texts and emails quickly and easily, just slide out the Torch’s full QWERTY keypad. There’s also a touch-sensitive trackpad like the ones you find on laptops.

A BlackBerry that’s more customisable with the new OS 6.

• This new operating system makes using a BlackBerry so much faster and simpler and integrates all your favourite social networking apps all in one place. With customisable homescreens you can switch between all your apps or just your favourites in a second. It also allows for easier multi-tasking so using multiple apps at once is a cinch. Be the first to experience OS 6 on the BlackBerry Torch.

Pinch-to-zoom comes to BlackBerry

• Want to get closer to the details in a web page? Put your thumb and finger together on the BlackBerry Torch’s touchscreen and move them apart – you’ll zoom in instantly. Pinch the other way to zoom back out. And if you want to check your Facebook page while you read the news online, open both windows at once and simply flip between the two.

The best BlackBerry camera yet

• You know how it is with some camera phones – you press the button to take a photo, and you have to wait before it actually captures the shot you want. Life’s simpler with the BlackBerry Torch’s 5 megapixel camera. A clever new technology called ‘Zero shutter’ means that as soon as you click to take a picture, it’s done.

No pricing has been confirmed yet for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 on Vodafone, but we’ll be seeing more soon as we surface closer to launch date.  Even with this launch, we’ll still be seeing AT&T exclusive to the device in the United States so no one get too excited unless you have Vodafone.  Perhaps we’ll only see Torch prices on eBay and Craigslist go down a bit now as the availability gets higher up there.
