Is Blackberry torch available for Verizon users?

Have another new phone BlackBerry 7 on the way. Verizon just announced that its BlackBerry Bold 9850 will be available online beginning September 8 for $ 199.99 with a two-year contract. Those of you who prefer to go the route in the store can expect to see the Torch of 9,850 affected Verizon brick and mortar locations a week later, on September 15. The full press release is available below if you're into that kind of thing.

Last month saw the launch of Verizon's first 7-powered BlackBerry smartphones on the Bold 9930, but it's good to see another new terminal RIM Big Red hit, especially for people who prefer to have an all-touch (no matter how Aaron kept raving about the 9930 keyboard). As far as specifications go, the 9850 is a 800x480 3.7-inch package, 1.2 GHz processor, 5 megapixel camera, 720p HD video capture, microSD card pre-installed 16GB and BlackBerry 7, the latest version BlackBerry OS from RIM. Go ahead and do a little happy dance in the comments, if you're planning to hook up the torch of 9850 Verizon this week. Just know that we are known to pull a lawn mower dance very mean when necessary.
