Looks like BlackBerry lovers over in Canada may soon be jumping for joy as the latest smartphone out of the Research In Motion camp, the BlackBerry Torch is due to hit soon if rumours pan out.

According to an article by Ian Hardy over on Mobile Syrup, Canada’s Telus network confirmed that the BlackBerry Torch would see release sometime “later this year”; well according to The Berry Fix they have received a tip that apparently has the BlackBerry Torch hitting Telus a fair bit sooner.

Apparently the tip is that Telus has scheduled a release date for the new BlackBerry Torch as Thursday the 16th of September, which really isn’t that far off.

Of course this hasn’t yet been confirmed by RIM or Telus and there’s no word on any Telus pricing for the BlackBerry Torch, but if said tipped release date turns out true it will be just four weeks after the AT&T release.
