Research In Motion Registers BlackPad.com And BlackBerryTorch.com Domain Names
Although we probably won’t definitively find out if RIM is going to officially name the BlackBerry 9800 Slider BlackBerry Torch until next Tuesday, the odds of this being the case look pretty good. We’ve been hearing all summer that the 9800 Slider would be named BlackBerry Torch and RIM has recently registered the domain name BlackBerryTorch.com
RIM has also snagged the domain name BlackPad.com presumably for the BlackBerry Tablet rumored to be released towards the end of this year or early next, however, we doubt that this is the name that they will go with.
BlackBerry 9800 Slider Likely To Hit AT&T On August 15th
According to John Albright of the BlackBerry Paterners Fund, the BlackBerry 9800 Slider, which has yet to be officially named, or, even announced by Research in Motion, will launch on AT&T August 15th. The first BlackBerry device to sport a touch-screen and a slide down physical keyboard is suspected to be the first BlackBerry that will run RIM’s highly anticipated BlackBerry 6 operating system.

Video: BlackBerry 9800 Slider
Salomondrin has posted a new video of the BlackBerry 9800 Slider. There isn’t a lot of stuff here that we haven’t seen before, but, I’ve got to say… The BlackBerry 9800 Slider is one slick device. I don’t believe I would be going out on a limb by stating that if BlackBerry 6 is solid and the new WebKit BlackBerry Browser doesn’t suck, AT&T will sell a ridiculous number of BlackBerry 9800 Sliders.
