RIM's latest touchscreen BlackBerry is launching on Verizon later this week. The Touch 9850 will hit VZW's online marketplace on the 8th with retail stores getting the handset on the 15th. The phone taps a 1.2GHz CPU to run BlackBerry 7 on its 3.7-inch touchscreen. A quad-band mobile radio makes the 9850 a global traveler while the rest of the standard suite of WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS completes the connectivity options. Verizon's 9850 offering hits at $50 more than Sprint's Touch model, but $50 less than Verzion's own 9930 Bold BlackBerry. Not that the price matters as this phone is clearly for the BlackBerry loyalist as Android and the iPhone have clearly taken over as the everyman's smartphone.
