Just introduced to the public yesterday, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 is already about to be made a television star thanks to this commercial for the phone. With the new BlackBerry 6 OS and the revised WebKit browser, BlackBerry and AT&T have plenty of things to show us during the short spot. We probably will start to see this ad on all major sporting events and top rated shows. If you recall how hard Verizon pushed the Storm when the first touchscreen 'Berry was launched, it probably wouldn't surprise you to know how big a seller that device was right out of the gate despite the many problems that the handset first had when shipped. It looks like AT&T plans on pushing the Torch (or shall we say passing the Torch) just as hard to grab eager BlackBerry fans who have been craving this device, and others torn between this model and an iPhone or Android handset.
