Bold 9800 Slider Getting Its Name Changed to BlackBerry Torch?

6/15/2010 11:38:00 AM 2 comments



Just when you thought the BlackBerry 9800 Slider was in fact going to be apart of the Bold family, it actually might not. The 9800 Slider is the first BlackBerry to include a touch-screen and a full qwerty keyboard that happens to slide-out. We can see why RIM would add the 9800 to the Bold family for marketing purposes, given how well accepted the Bold-line has been. However, RIM may be planning on putting the 9800 in its own family as the BlackBerry Torch.
