Vodafone bags UK first for BlackBerry Torch 9800 Mobile giants Vodafone is the first UK network to offer the BlackBerry Torch 9800. With the device advertised on Vodafone's website, customers can register interest, but dates and pricing aren't yet available.

gawd, if only those pesky operators wouldn't let places like the Apple store, Carphone Warehouse, Expansys, and who knows how many OTHER places that let you buy a mobile with whatever contract (or lack thereof) you might wish....
Oh, the phones do cost more without a contract, don't they?
Blackberry - the phone that will work anywhere outside the middle east and, it looks likely, India.
All data sent to Canada - provided to the USA for analysis but not to non-friendly governments. The NSA have had it too easy for too long.
This phone is too little, too late. Apparently you can get a iPhone 4 for £99 on a £35 a month contract with a free rubber surround so it works properly...
