Well lookie here! More Sprint BlackBerry goodness! Sprint announced the BlackBerry Torch 9850 last week, but didn't reveal the date it would be available for purchase, stating simply they would be available "this fall". We've been saying for awhile now that August 21st would be the date for both the 9850 and the Bold 9930,and now that's been confirmed through the Sprint Playbook as well as the price which is listed at $449 outright or just $149 on a two year plan after instant and MIR. Sweet! Who's getting this one?!
Thanks Phil!
