- Hey all, Ive been trying to update with the info i get as i get it, since we've been actually assisting with MOVING the torch's to the stores...
Best Buy locations in Canada (I was just personally involved with the MTL shipment) have been shipped Torch's for release THIS FRIDAY the 24th! now the quantity is not large...each location in the MTL area for example is getting 10 units (the pre-order list was hovering around 5 people).
Anyways, at this point my guess is that if the devices are still not released Friday (Murphy's Law) it only means they are being told to hold it because they WILL have them in store...
again...its easy to just fuel the anticipation fire which is not my intention, it's just exciting info to me, so I'm sharing!
Sidenote, forgot to mention carriers...sorry but i have no idea for which carriers this is for but i know Rogers is one of them.09-21-10 04:12 PMLike 0 - Hey all, Ive been trying to update with the info i get as i get it, since we've been actually assisting with MOVING the torch's to the stores...

Hey Laurah2215, sorry I really don't know...
I know that earlier this week Bell, Telus and Rogers were among what was supposed to hit the stores for Friday, but with what I was involved with today, I was only able to confirm Rogers were among them....don't wanna assume right...
I wanna say YES they should be....but it would just be a guess
Here's hoping!
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com09-21-10 04:37 PMLike 0 - I'm getting so many mixed messages that I'm going crazy. I called Bell and they didn't know when the release would be, except "some time this fall". I called Best Buy and they said the release would be October 1. So please, please, please keep the info coming guys, especially from your sources because I'm trying to figure out my best options (I'm in different cities on the 24th and 1st so I'm trying to figure out if pre-ordering will work). Especially if anyone can confirm anything from Bell (because their employees don't seem to be in the loop), please let us know. I'm desperately trying to come up with my plans for the 24th and/or the 1st. Thanks for anything you can contribute.09-21-10 04:37 PMLike 0

I brought up the fact that I've been a customer for over 8 yrs. Nothing. He told me he could give me a free samsung (no thanks) then I asked to talk to someone higher. He said he could transfer me to cancellation. Like f them! Sorry but I'm mad! Anyone know the number for customer relations

But now I'm one very sad Berry-Addict...
I was in a car accident this morning and my Torch money now has to go towards my deductible... BOOOOO!
Guess it's a sign that I should wait for the white one... yeah, that's it!! I'm gonna be so jealous of you guys on Friday09-21-10 04:54 PMLike 0 - Alright, so the 2nd person I talked to told me to go to rogers friday morning say I want an upgrade, if they say no I'm supposed to get to them call customer service. I have a feeling I won't be getting this phone

It has personally worked for me, good luck!
You won't have the torch come Friday morning, but at least you'll have it probably Monday or Tuesday of next week!09-21-10 04:59 PMLike 0 - Alright, so the 2nd person I talked to told me to go to rogers friday morning say I want an upgrade, if they say no I'm supposed to get to them call customer service.

GOOD LUCK!!09-21-10 05:08 PMLike 0 - Not in my opinion. That wouldn't be a sufficient reason to delay a release of a phone. I have a feeling that they would make more money selling the new phone than they would getting people to sign up with the plan. By delaying the release of the phone, they're losing potential new customers. They're not gaining anything with the rate plan (they're probably losing money if it's a really good deal) but they're losing out by delaying the release.09-21-10 05:21 PMLike 0
- A conspiracy!! MUWAHAHA Just kidding... who knows. I believe Rogers has a similar plan that's expiring soon and a lot of people are wanting their Torch before the plan is gone.09-21-10 05:24 PMLike 0
