This 29 October, Celcom will be launching its much anticipated BlackBerry Torch 9800.

Well if you are not among those who anticipate, at least I am!

Why? I have always loved EVERYTHING about a BlackBerry until I noticed its tiny screen, especially on some of the models released earlier.

But this model is completely different from other models in the sense that it has got a huge-a, 3.2-inch touch screen.

AND BIG IS GOOD.

Like that how to type, you may ask?

Don’t worry! This is the very first BlackBerry model to combine a physical sliding-keyboard and touch screen, which is just perfect for finger-clumsy people on touch screens like me.

A few months ago yours truly bought a smart phone with a virtual QWERTY keyboard thinking it would be cool to type on (was such a noob because I never had a smart phone before), and you know what?

I only typed on the virtual QWERTY keyboard once to become officially sick of how difficult it is to type even one word.

To work touch screen with icons, yes. But with a virtual QWERTY keyboard? Hell no.

That’s why this model pretty much defines my ideal kind of smart phone.

This new model allows users to expand memory from 8GB up to 32GB with a microSD card and with 32GB of space to store your favourite music and music videos, is it still not enough?

Besides, the mega-pixel camera comes with flash, continuous auto-focus and image stabilization, on top of 11 photo modes and video recording!

Is this seriously like a camera or what?!

Well, be the first 100 customers to pre-register and purchase the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 with the Celcom Exec Postpaid plan to enjoy:

FREE:

• Jabra Bluetooth Headset worth RM125
• 8GB Micro SD Card worth RM68
• Portable Energizer worth RM58

Wait. That’s not all!

If you attend the launch of the BlackBerry Torch 9800, there will also be amazing deals for the device when you sign up with Celcom (at the event only, shhh…).

Celcom has now become Malaysia’s #1 BlackBerry provider with the fastest, widest, and clearest mobile network.

If yes, throw away your CSL Blueberry, throw away your iClone. Replace it with… *drum rolls*

The Nokia C3.

Being the very first device to bring an amazingly full QWERTY keyboard to Nokia’s Series 40 devices, the Nokia C3 becomes the first in the series to take users to social networks directly from the home screen!

SIAO WEI!

Don’t say I bluff loh — take a look yourself. It can never get more convenient lor!

Besides being able to read Facebook and Twitter feeds on the home screen, users can also manage emails, chat, and listen to music by just pressing the dedicated widgets on the screen.

Speaking of the home screen, it is conveniently customisable with widgets, theme, and shortcuts! Much like (or perhaps even better than) your notebook.

It also comes with a 2.0 mega-pixel camera. The quality is just right for you to simply snap a picture and share it on Facebook, or Twitpic, or whatever.

I mean, what’s the point of sharing a 1MB picture from your phone when it may waste 10 minutes of your life to upload, right?

Thickness of the C3 is 13.6mm, which is only 2mm thicker than an original, non-3G-enabled iPhone. Not bad at all for a RM520 machine!

The C3 comes with 3 colours: slate grey, hot pink, and golden white. That also means regardless of whether you are a male, female, or a middle, it is catered for everyone.

Among other highlight of the C3 are:

• Convenient access to your email accounts, including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Windows Live, Hotmail and many others
• IM through Windows Live Messenge, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi Chat
• Nokia Xpress audio messaging
• Games include Bounce, Sudoku, Block’d, Diamond Rush
• MicroSD memory card slot up to 8 GB
• Talk time up to 7 hours max
• Music playback time up to 30 hours max

The Nokia C3 was just released last Friday and I read it sold like hot cake the first day it was launched.
