The new BlackBerry slider phone will only be available on AT&T’s network.

Mike Lazaridis – RIM co-CEO – said that the BlackBerry Torch got it’s name from the company that helped them put it together, and the device is the first to have a WebKit browser.

The official BlackBerry Torch 9800 page has just gone live on Research In Motion’s site, and here you can see a 360 view of the new BlackBerry. It really looks nice, especially being able to see from all angles.

Main features include a tethered modem, GPS, Wi-Fi, camera and video recording, social feeds, instant messaging, 3G network support, a full QWERTY keyboard, optical trackpad, and a 3.2-inch HVGA+ touch screen that can sense light and has a proximity detector.

You can see the full specs and features on blackberry.com. Have a look at the 360 view, and the official RIM page, and then let us know what you think of the new BlackBerry.

The new BlackBerry 9800 is an opportunity for RIM to make a statement, for many it’s a crucial time for them to make that impact.

We will be reporting on the AT&T / BlackBerry event via an exclusive live video feed, which starts at 11am EDT and will last for around one hour. You can follow the news as we break it via Facebook, Twitter, and our Feed.

CNET reports that RIM has an 18 percent market share and is still the second smartphone vendor worldwide, even with the competition from Android phones and the iPhone. It seems RIM has done a good job, but then why do most readers feel negative towards BlackBerry devices?

The new Blackberry 9800 will be RIM’s best shot yet, but can they win Android users? We expect the 9800 to reach where the iPhone and Android devices are, but they need to do much more to win over phone users.

Some users feel that sticking with AT&T could be a bad move, and releasing the phone on all networks would be the best move. This makes sense considering the iPhone is currently only with AT&T, other networks could give the Blackberry 9800 an advantage.

What are your expectations, and what would it take for RIM to win over Android and iPhone users?
