In the UK, Vodafone is set to discontinue four smartphones, according to SoMobile. These are the HTC Sensation XL, Nokia C3, Samsung Galaxy Mini, and BlackBerry Torch 9810.

Redesigned BlackBerry London leaks, will be the world’s first BlackBerry 10 smartphone
Back in November of last year we saw the first purported picture of the BlackBerry smartphone codenamed London, that was going to be the company’s first smartphone running BBX, the next generation operating system inspired by the QNX powering the PlayBook.

Some of that information has been confirmed today through another rumored roadmap uncovered thanks to BGR‘s sources. [...]

BlackBerry Torch 10000 apparently in the making, may be headed to AT&T
RIM is apparently looking to take ridiculous smartphone names to a whole new level. And while it won’t be the sort of ridiculousness best embodied by the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch (just try saying that out loud ten times in a row), that doesn’t make this any less ridiculous.

Porsche Design BlackBerry P’9981 now on sale in the UK, yours for £1,275
The Porsche Design BlackBerry P’9981 was announced in October. This is clearly not a phone for those on a tight budget.

Naturally, to achieve its more affordable price, the Curve 9380 has some lower-end specs compared to its big brother, but it’s still an interesting device nonetheless, being the cheapest full touch BlackBerry. The [...]
