TORCH



Stopped by the AT&T store the other day.

Matt needed a new phone since he put his last Blackberry in that cooler full of ice. Over the past few weeks he narrowed it down to the iPhone 4, the Blackberry Torch and he even considered the Samsung Captivate.




Anyway, we debated about it for awhile at the store and he eventually ended up picking up the Torch. It has the physical keyboard and the touchscreen, it has BBM, good battery life and of course Drake uses one to write all his songs on, so we figured we couldn't really go wrong with it. I got kind of jealous while we were at the store and we almost bought 2 but I figured I'd let Matt play with it for a week and let me know how it went.



So far, not too good. The internet doesn't really work, texting on the phone does not work, BBM is broken and the phone makes a weird noise during calls. Seriously - I thought Matt might've been exaggerated its' uselessness but I played with it Tuesday when we drove up to Santa Barbara and it is indeed worthless. I think it's sort of just a fluke/defective unit - Matt's going to take it back this weekend and grab another so we'll see.
