Looks as though the BlackBerry Bold 9930 isn't the only new BlackBerry 7 device that will be going for cheap on Walmart. They've now added the BlackBerry Torch 9850 to the line up and, a new 2-year contract will get you the device for the low cost of $99. That is of course, $50 off the Sprint cost of $150 though a contract renewel only drops the price to $142. Either way, once again you're saving money and that's always a good thing.
