Research in Motion's latest offering to the world of smartphones is the BlackBerry Torch. Its the first BlackBerry phone to have a capacitive touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard in a clamshell slider form factor. With a lot of hopes, BlackBerry is launching the device all over the world. Now, the company is getting geared up to launch the BlackBerry Torch in the Canadian part of the world.

The new is that the company will have launch parties on the company's home turf. Sources say that the BlackBerry Torch launch party in Canada has been scheduled on 21st of Sep. On 21st, the launch party will be in Toronto. This will be followed by another launch party for the device in Vancouver the next day, and then the next day yet another launch party in Montreal. So its a three day launch party, from 21st of Sep to 23rd of Sep.

But there is no info about the fact that these dates will also be the official release dates for the device also. This is yet to be known. It is also said that BlackBerry will be giving away 25 units of the BlackBerry Torch free at each launch party. So there you go, another attraction. RIM is spending a lot of money and time on this device. Dont know if the device will live up to all the hype.
