Amazon offers the new BlackBerry Torch for dirt cheap $99.99

BlackBerry Torch is selling like hot cakes in the market right now but it is really costly too. The phone is also available unlocked for a price of $550 which is a bit high for a mobile phone. But then the phone has become really popular in the market and hence the manufacturer is trying to take full advantage of it by putting a big price tag. Amazon recently said that this phone will be offered by them for an ultra affordable price of $99 which is dirt cheap. The offer is there only for a day though so you better keep an eye open for when the phone will be offered. If you have the old BlackBerry Bold phone, and if you want to replace it, now is a great time to do it.

It is really surprising that BlackBerry Torch has become so famous in the market in such a short period of time. Its claim to fame is that it is the first slider phone from this manufacturer. There is a full QWERTY keyboard hidden beneath the top half and the display has a touch screen interface. The slider design is not the only highlight of the phone. BlackBerry Torch also comes with a new OS, called the OS 6 and the company says the new product comes with a lot of improvements as compared to the previous versions. The interface is really good and there is also something called universal search function now. It will be interesting to see if the browser will be improved or not because it has been one of the weakest points of this company.

We won’t say that the handset is perfect. There are a few problems. People are saying that the device gets really sluggish sometimes and this will certainly irritate people who lack patience. The screen doesn’t have a high resolution as compared to the high end smartphones that you get in the market.
