White BlackBerry Torch 9810 Available in Canada

The just announced BlackBerry Torch 9810 smartphone from Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion is already available for purchase in the homeland market in more colors than before, with wireless carriers like Rogers and TELUS making the white flavor of the device available for their users.
