We already know Rogers will be getting the BlackBerry Torch (9800) in the next couple of weeks and it looks like this new display case will sport a BB Torch right in the middle - but it's not ready right now. The most interesting part about all this is that one of Mobile Syrup's tipsters has mentioned that Rogers could be planning to launch the Torch on September 15th. It's unconfirmed right now, but Canadians may have something to look forward to if they want a new CrackBerry.

Cricket has just about made the Kyocera Zio official and is now telling you to pre-order one now (here). This handset will be available starting on August 21st and costs $249.99 contract-free, which seems to be a pretty good deal. The Zio packs a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a Qualcomm 600MHz CPU, a 3.2MP camera, and Android 1.6 (upgradeable to 2.1 or later, apparently). Cricket has a new data plan going around that costs $55 and that's unlimited everything so that'll be something you should pick up as well.
