One look at the Torque F1 metal may remind you of one of Vertu's phone model last year. I can say that the F1 Metal is ruggedly handsome and beautifully crafted with its solid metal casing with a red and black leather accent at the back portion. The phone's keypad is divided only into 6 buttons with 2 numbers sharing one button. it's minimal labelling makes it hard at first to know which of the buttons are pressed until you see what comes out of the screen.
The F1 metal is a dual sim, dual standby phone with the basics of any Torque phone model feature such as FM Radio, bluetooth, motion sensor where you can change the radio station or wallpaper or music by just shaking the phone. A few improvements have been made on this phone model compared to the previous Torque phone models such capability to customized the text tone. User interface is basically the same from the old Torque models but Torque has made some improvement on the graphics. The SMS is still slow after typing in more than ten words per message, still one of those problems they haven't fix.
But what i like about this phone is its feel, very heavy and solid and really looks expensive. It doesn't match the price with it's form factor! Would you believe, the Torque F1 Metal only costs P 3,999.00? During these uncertain times, sometimes it's more important how it looks than what is under the hood.
