BB Torch now a FREE phone :O
Wowzers...looks like the Torch is now a free phone. Not a bad deal, eh?
AmazonWireless: BlackBerry Torch 9800 Phone (AT&T) :bb::bb: |

Not sure how this is a negative....why buy a phone with a contract if you're going to cancel in 6 months?
What you're suggesting is that people buy from Verizon or some other seller and pay a lot more, on the extremely unlikely chance that they would decide to cancel. In other words, you're saying that people should spend $200 (the price differential between Amazon and AT&T) to avoid a tiny chance of having to pay a $50 penalty later. |
It looks like the Torch is now the #1 selling phone on Amazon. I guess being free helps :)

Just make sure the warranty is there before proceding.
Since it was not bought from AT&T you have to deal with Amazon. info here AmazonWireless |
The warranty is by the OEM. Doesn't matter where you buy it.

My current phones (my 9800 and wife's 9700) were bought through Amazon. The 9700 had to be replaced. Amazon shipped a replacement and it arrived the following day. Old phone went back to Amazon after the new one was activated. All at no cost to me. That is as good as it can get!!! |
Re: BB Torch now a FREE phone :O
Well, not free for everyone I guess. I'm upgrading a family plan line and they wanted $149.99 at Amazon for this option. A new family line was $99.99. Upgrading an existing single line was $29.99 and a NEW individual line was $0.01
I'll just go through AT&T online and get the $99 deal for an upgrade to the family plan line. |

Re: BB Torch now a FREE phone :O
I asked this in another thread:
After buying a Torch via Amazon for $99.99 six weeks ago, ...I can't help wondering about the economics, Amazon and/or RIM and/or ATT and/or otherwise, behind this now (!?) free-to-much cheaper offer of what seems to me as a truly awesome phone that must not be cheap to have produced? I do realize that competition with iPhone4 and android OS phones may have something to do with it, and that ATT may very well be making up the sum with its scale and the contract offer -- anyone have any additional insight as to this dumping, clearinghouse or ??? of the Torch onto the market?

You are not a customer of theirs so they say "screw off" It would be somewhat (but not exactly) similar to buying an HP machine with a WD hard drive in it. You go to WD and they say "go to HP for warranty" BUT you bought the HP comptuer from BestBuy/Futureshop, so HP says "deal with the reseller" |
Re: BB Torch now a FREE phone :O
Well is sounds a very good deal but I'll have to look in to it because my daughters are determined that I buy them this phone.

Re: BB Torch now a FREE phone :O
Does the deal for the phone only available to new clients? Is it available for upgrades and how long of a contract do you have to sign? The reason I ask is that the Torch is available for $99 but only to new customers! Upgrade price is still $179

I was with ATT with my 9000 for 1.5 years which I got thru Amazon, and I was eligible for an upgrade to the Torch for $99 via Amazon (late September)... Did you go thru the eligible for upgrade steps on the amazon > buy torch page? Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |

If you get a Torch, make sure you update the OS to .246 (stable) or .377
