My Boss from Atlanta is going to send 30-50 BB torch by this coming 2nd week of June… We are comparing prices from different markets out there.. I believe whosoever sold it out the first time was really overpricing the item. As what my boss said “this is the best black berry on market”.
The prices dramatically decrease from around 900$+ you can have BBtorch now a days at around 300-500$..or 20K below in Peso.
And Yeah I agree this one is classy and very functional for business purposes..
ann says:

:(

Mr. Yugatech i want to ask if you know where can i buy a white version of BB torch fresh unit…. i wana trade in my 9700 sana if possible. thanks!
HoLo says:
i agree with Cruize. BB torch is not a rip off. what is areal rip off are nokia phones. it’s like everyone’s phone with the cheapest look. its so casual. I’m still a student but I have my own business and this phone really fits my life style. and i dont care if it does not have much applications coz i got my iPod touch, so whatever. Blackberry is GOOD! very classy, unique, and functional.

I have a blackberry curve phone and am not satisfied with the track ball which frequently conked out. Still watching if this latest model works before contemplating to acquire one.
masp says:
I bought a couple of blackberry torches for my gf and sister but they apparently prefer to stick to their iphones after using mine (kulang raw sa applications). so if anyone’s interested please give me a call at 975-6677. selling them at 31k each or 60k for both.

im selling my bb torch for 30,000 php, been used for 1 day only

cruize says:
blackberry phones target business people so you wont really appreciate the phones’ full functionality unless you use it for its purpose which is as i said business. so if your looking for a more casual and techie phone i suggest you get an iphone but if your like me who is into business then this phone is your soulmate. The price is totally worth it and its not at all bulky.
P.S. I’ve never appreciated any nokia phone. for me their models are usually rip offs of better phones and the value seems to decrease oh so rapidly.
Miklos says:
Lol this phone is using 5 year old technology and is priced as a ‘super smartphone’.
Nokia N8 is WAY better for the money.
riv10 says:
i think BB is just not that good with touch screen…i wonder how the blackpad would answer this..you guys might as well get an onyx, bold 9700, that is..or maybe Gemini..cos for me BB is only work well in its messenger service and push email terms..the one which iphones r getting now..

BAGSIK says:
Samsung Wave is much way better than this crap.
yodz says:
overpriced. Ang daming alternative phone to this. made for the old school oldies!
Manuel says:
hi abe, so how does it feel to the touch? I know the specs and seems like quite thick, but nothing like the real feel assessment. Been thinking to upgrade from BBstorm2 to iPhone4 or BBtorch. Thanks.
Val says:
too pricey for what you get. Only BB fanboy will bite it (if there are) :)
Whatif says:
Pangit na mahal pa… Kahit specs olats
Tama si tipler joke time ata to… Lol
mr. bogus says:
not worth it… over priced and bulky piece of @#$%
Andre Marcelo-Tanner says:
Where did you see this? and was there a logo on it? the question is what operator is it from? and how much is the $ price on it from AT&T
tipler says:
P38,500? I bet that’s the funniest thing I’ll have read all week. I wouldn’t pay 20k for this.
MyMaria says:
Sweet! If I were to get my first Blackberry, this would be it! Let’s just hope Smart will offer this for their retention plans soon! :)
Calvin says:
*whistle* 38,500. pumunta ka pa ng virra mall after mag tagaytay?
mjne_19 says:
@abeolandres sir do you think it is worth it for the price? Im planning to get one…
