Looks like Kevin's dream of having a White BlackBerry Torch 9800 just got one step closer. It really hasn't been in doubt that red and white would both be arriving, since the parts for them have been up on 3rd part retailer sites for a while now. But, more a question of when, exactly they would arrive. Engadget sources claim "mid to late November" for the release and to go with the red and white will also be an olive color. Sounds good, put me down for one sexy red one please. Anyone else? Oh ya, if that Samsung Galaxy Tab is something you're interested in as well, you can check out the full coverage over at Androidcentral for details on that.

Red & White BlackBerry Torch 9800's coming to AT&T
I bought the orginal black Torch and just bought an really nice brushed pink aluminum case for it. They also have other colors for all you non-pink people out there. Literally mine looks exactly the same as the red/black torch, there is not even 1mm between the case and phone...in other words it fits so well it looks like I had it colored for $300 or however much it costs. It was like 10 bucks. Go on amazon and save some money.
Will Sprint be getting the Torch?
Can I exchange my black Torch for an olive one!
fu vodafone
hopefully with the new colors, the price of the black ones will drop...this seems to be the history of cell phones..new colors come out...old colors drop in price...just colorware it..i dont know what the big deal is here..oh yeah, and wheres that new pearl??
I love the white. I wish the Bold 9650 came in white. But I wonder how dirty tje white will get over time.....
I do really like the red too.
I'm still waiting to hear something about the phone that was announced way back a whole 5 months ago and is sold everywhere else around the world except by AT&T. The Pearl 3G. I really don't care about these other BBs. Where's the flippin' Pearl?
Am I seeing things, or does this torch look like it has a front and rear camera?????
That red is fiery
I like the white 9700, but hopefully with the change in colors we get a Torch refresh with a faster processor and higher resolution screen. Come on isn't RIM famous for refreshes.
Who cares! In Canada we're all PATIENTLY waiting to even get the original torch!
I do like the color additions but I'm always keeping a case on my phone so it doesn't matter a ton. The white is where I would go so you could see the difference in the keyboard but again it's not that big of a deal to me.
im selling my black torch for the white one when it comes out.
i don't care for the white phone but at least those who primarily wanted a red or white phone no longer have to pay that ludicrous amount to colorshite.
having said that, release it in blue and I'll be sold!

What about the 9780? Is AT&T getting the Bold refresh this year?
are the Canadian colours and the Rogers colours....maybe we will see them up here too?
How is that fair? I want the red one! Darn you AT&T, oh well, I guess I'll have to void my warranty!
Hmm I wonder if they'll come with some fixes for the current hardware issues that some torch users (including me) are having (like wobbly screen)...maybe hardware v1.1?
The red one looks sweet, but it needs some performance to match the looks!
I don't do white! Icky!
Oh yeah, I want the Galaxy Tab!
Upgrading in December and I have to get the white one. Hopefully by then, they will be packaging a carrying case with the torch.
Think the alternate colors will make it function better? Because the way it sits now, it's the biggest piece of garbage RIM has ever put out.
No it's not, the Storm holds that reign and always will.
+1
+2
+3
of phones singlehandedly made BlackBerrys relevant to the rest of us. Check the sales numbers.
Andunless you talkin curve sales numbers it's a marginally important topic
no wonder BB users are dropping like flies. RIM spends more time on colors then the software
that red and black torch is a must have
omg. RED and black? i think i might just be in heaven. its a little teeny bopper but i want it. my 2nd choice is the white.
WHITE WHITE WHITE WHITE!! C'MONNN ROGERS :D
I don't get it. White? No thanks, makes me think of a leisure suit. Red, maybe, but I'll stick to my black phone (9700). My gf is all about the white ones (iphone for play and 9700 for work)
Enough already with this AT&T Torch.....When will I see a CDMA Torch????
What is the other dot on the white one next to the LED??? Could it be a front camera???
Proximity Sensor
Red & White Torch would have both colors.
Don't you mean:
Red & White BlackBerry Torch 9800's coming to AT&T
Upon further review it looks like a "Red and Black" Torch and a White Torch
you fancy huh¿
O.M.G.....sign me up for one!
dammit I shouldve waited for the white one! lol
Aww man that's pretty.
looks great!!
I wanna exchange my black Torch for an olive one!!
nice
I like the red one a bit more, but all I want is a black one with blue- backlit keys and a black-looking bezel like on the commercials!!
Damn, that red one is awesome. That's the exact color scheme I want my Bold 9700 to have.
i think the red/black ones going to vzw for sure, the colors match vzw's logo. if its on vzw in may '11 ill have to decide between storm 3 or torch unless the storm 3 has wayyyyy better specs
I'd take a white one!
i want the white one!
Your welcome!! :)
can I trade mine in for a WHITE ONE?! lol
I want the one with the bigger GBs
INTERESTING.... and 1st lol
