Research In Motion unveiled the much-hyped BlackBerry Torch 9800 , a new touch-screen BlackBerry smartphone with a pull-out keyboard.
The new phone will hit stores August 12 and will be priced at $199.99 for customers who purchase a two-year service agreement.
AT&T will be the exclusive carrier of the Torch 9800, the first BlackBerry to run RIM's modernized operating system, BlackBerry OS 6. The new operating system gives BlackBerry its first full Web browser, as well as other features that are common on most of today's smartphones like social networking integration, universal search and multiple home screens. The new phone also includes a 5 megapixel camera. (Follow Fortune.com's live blog of the BlackBerry launch.)
Like the iPhone, the BlackBerry Torch will be covered by AT&T metered data plans. The less-expensive DataPlus plan offers 200 MB of data each month for $15, with the pricier DataPro offering 2 GB of data for $25.
