A new BlackBerry launch even as its gets banned in Emirates

The first BlackBerry that combines a touch screen with the device's signature full-alphabet keyboard is coming to AT&T stores in the U.S. next week.

Research In Motion Ltd., the Canadian company that makes the BlackBerry, says the BlackBerry Torch will cost $199.

The keyboard slides out from underneath the screen. RIM's first touch-screen model, the Storm, lacked a keyboard and hasn't proved popular.
