Torque Dual-SIM Android Phones on Sale!

Torque is a budding local mobile phone brand that offers very affordable handsets.  It is quite similar to Cherry Mobile and MyPhone which both offer super-cheap mobile phones.

Torque claims to have the first dual-SIM Android phones in the market. Considering that I am currently not aware of any other Android phone with dual-SIM capabilities, I believe in what Torque is claiming.

Being offered on introductory sale very soon are two Torque dual-SIM phones named Droidz Tandem and Droidz Dual.   The sale is happening on two announced dates: April 16-17, 2011.  The phones’ features are pretty impressive, although it remains to be seen if they will withstand heavy use.  Torque offers 12-month warranties on these handsets but I am not aware how the company is in terms of after-sales support.

Here are the features of the two Android phones included in the introductory sale.
