We're not sure what to really make of this but the BlackBerry 9810 has been discontinued by Wireless Express, one of the largest distributors of Rogers wireless devices in Canada.

Remember those stories about BlackBerry maker RIM working on what they internally referred to as an "Apple Killer"? Remember how that turned out for them with the BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Torch? Well, it turns out everyone has Verizon and AT&T to thank for that. Shocking, right?

The BlackBerry Playbook is a great little device, let down by RIM’s inability to understand what it is that consumers want from a tablet (like web email and app variety). At least RIM does understand enterprise grade smartphones, which makes the Optus deal of a Torch 9860 with bonus Playbook well worth a second look. Show More Summary
