We were hearing all sorts of buzz about a Canadian delay over the last few days and it looks like they’re true so far, partially.  It looks like Bell has put up an October 1st launch date now, rather than the speculated and originally confirmed September 24th that we all expected.  It could of been worse – who remembers the BlackBerry Bold 9000 launching in the United States?  Pricing for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 is $199.95 on a 3 year strings attached contract while it’s $599.95 with no contract at all.
