Celcom Blackberry Torch

frostier / When Everything Fails / Blackberry Torch, Celcom, event, Pavilion / 2 Comments

Why would you want a Blackberry? Afterall, its just a business phone. Its only used for BBM and push mail features. At least that is what I categorize the Blackberry as.

Until RIM decided to launch the Torch, I believe they are decide to bring the convergence of both work and fun. With touch screen and a qwerty, it evens better with OS6.

On Friday, Celcom did their launching of Blackberry Torch at La Bodega Pavilion KL. The queue started as early of 8am. With the news of RM 8 for the first ten (10), who can resists such temptation.

It is such a crazy low price. Attractive too. The queue stretches so long and some even queue until late evening just to get the even. With the subsequent hundred (100), the queue still that much of crowd. Crazy I tell you. Crazy!

Have you got yours?

time to get one today!
