Found this link suggesting launch event dates in Canada.
"The BlackBerry Torch 9800 has been out on AT&T for a little while now, and north of the border, we�re wondering when Bell, Telus, and Rogers are going to pick it up. Vodafone�s mid-September guideline gave us a good idea, and other hints pointed to a September 16 release on Rogers. Now a series of launch events targeted at sales staff confirms the window, with parties happening from September 21 onwards. Events in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal will take place on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd respectively, with invites being shot out to the 25 top-selling BlackBerry reps."
Oh how I long for a blackberry torch.. .would prefer it on Rogers only because well... that's the provider i'm stuck on and I do have a hardware upgarde coming to me that i'd love to use...
