DiGi BlackBerry Torch 9800 – Hotter and Smarter

 

 

BlackBerry Torch 9800

 

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 only cost RM1499.00 with Digi 24 months contract. So what is really special about this PDA phone? Has a 624 MHz processor, can last Up to 5 h 40 min (3G) talk time and it uses BlackBerry OS 6.0. There are more but well that is up to the person who really want to buy it for the function and not because everyone else is using it. But pretty much even a kid should have no problem operating this kind of phone usually it is the parents haha Anyway Click here for more Details.

This is one of the phone I would not mind buying if I could afford it, first of all it has a touch screen and where it is way much easier just touch then press a button. But no worries if you hate using a touch screen or can’t get used to it to send an sms, there is the blackberry QWERTY keyboard. Just need to slide up the phone and you see the hidden keyboard on its two layer surface. 

There is also the BlackBerry Internet Service which is a addon of RM10 per month. BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) allows BlackBerry users to access web-based POP3, IMAP, and Outlook Web App (not via Exchange ActiveSync) email accounts without connecting through a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES).

As for application there are tools like UberTwitter, Facebook, and many more for download from BlackBerry Appl World. Some are free and well most of it are charging for a fee. With the build Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n in you can online in most of the place which provide free Wi-Fi access to download the application. 

Then again most of you guys out there would want to get connected most of the time, while waiting for a bus, or in the LRT maybe sometimes in the toilet? It will cost you a lot if you plan to get connected on your normal line plan. But with Digi you get to enjoy the best smartphone deals and set the Internet free for only RM68/month with DG Smart Plan™. It's the only all-in-one plan for BlackBerry®, HTC, Nokia and all other smartphones. Have a look at the brochure:

I would say the price is reasonable, almost half less from what most of the retail store are offering. Don’t like the default browser? well there is Opera Mini too for BlackBerry users just head to m.opera.com with the default browser on your BlackBerry device and weee you can easily install the Opera Mini.

Pretty much I would say it is a must buy phone for I.T freak users more ever with its elegant design, curve, I am sure you will not be disappointed with its design and well known brand.

Much more with Digi you get to save more a lot more on your wallet.

Video call available on Digi now?

I am not sure how many of you guys out there using Digi notice this but just today I manage to make a video call with Griselda after noticing the 3g logo on my phone. Here are my phone screen shot:

Notice the highlighted box near the signal bar on the above picture? yes that icon means I have a 3g connection.

Well I can’t seem to take a screenshot with the picture or video but there are actually 2 missing box at the picture above 1 is my face and another is Griselda.

 

I am using my Sony Ericsson W850i still and yes there was no problem, lag, or what ever problem during the call. So far there have been no announcement on Digi website, but I am not the other person who notice this. Griselda friend tested this few weeks ago too when she suddenly notice the 3g icon on her phone and then tried video calling Griselda. Where I would say they are testing it on random Digi users.

Digi users now might just be able to do Video Call too in the near future :D

 

Digi Broadband Package

Well for those Digi users especially in Kota Kinabalu would have notice Digi road show in few areas. At the moment they are trying to promote their broadband service and well I could say it be reasonable for the rich. Like just look at the package:

Note:
Advance payment: 1 month of the monthly fee (non-refundable).
Usage volume is calculated based on monthly bill cycle.
All speeds shown are average speeds which can be higher during non-peak hours.
Fair usage policy applies.
Stamp duty of RM10 applies and will be reflected in the first bill.

Well I am using streamyx also with tm hospot almost every where & also free wifi provided by most cafe. Why would you want to subscribe to this kind of service?

If you are a businessman or women, I would recommend you to apply for this service. As you need to travel and there are certain time when streamyx is just hopeless. So those so called free wifi, tm hotspot, yes they be down if the line is down again. If you are a Malaysian I am very sure you have subscribe to streamyx and have cursed during midnight either because of the slow connection or it is just down again for some odd unreasonable reason.

So if you are really interested but might have some question to ask, you check out my conversation with Digi custormer service in the D’Chat feature they have in the Digi OCS:
