Torch 9860

[Chez41]

Hey guys. I wanna purchase a torch 9860 and was wondering if BIS works, seeing that it's an import. Any advice/tips are welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I imported some 9860s when they first came out and BIS worked just fine here.

Thanks man. Any specific networks, tweaking of software or is it just straightfoward go ahead?

Im using a bb 9860 and it works.
Tried it on Vodacom, Cell C, and 8ta.

Just ensure the phone is not locked to any network seeing that you are importing it.

I have been using mine since late December last year on Vodacom. Also upgraded it to version 7.1.0.694. Works great.

Silly question @craigfza. From what site did you download the desktop manager and the 7.1 update? I got mine on monday and i dig it, just froze once while downloading music yesterday.
