Dumping my iPhone 4 for the BlackBerry Torch
3 Aug
This person is my hero. Why shouldn’t you be excited about the Blackberry ‘torching’ the iPhone 4 in to oblivion? Here’s why:
- iOS is too colorful and works too well. Why do I need fancy graphics? I’m more old fashioned and like the bland and dull look of the new Blackberry OS 6.
- I hate the high resolution 960×640 of the iPhone 4. Everything is way too detailed. I don’t care if it looks like reading from a magazine, I hate magazines! I like the retro pixelized look on screens. The Torch’s screen is beautiful, like an old original GameBoy.
- Who needs fun and useful apps anyways? BlackBerry already has awesome apps installed such as “social networking feeds”. I like hearing about my friends vague wallposts and stalking my ex’s on FaceBook searching to see if they posted any new photos with cleavage. Also i’ll get Twitter alerts when my friend Roger eats too much taco bell and needs to use the toliet.
- I don’t like the fastness of the iPhone’s processor. Engadget’s hands on review of the Torch said when they tried loading up webpages, it froze for a few seconds. I like that feature. It will give me more time to think about how boring my life is posting something like this on the internet.
- The iPhone 4 is too thin and looks too elegant. I don’t want to look like a snob. The BlackBerry looks exactly like the Storm. We all know how awesome that phone looks!
- Why would anyone want a front facing camera and video chat? My friend recently had to be re-deployed a few weeks early and didn’t get a chance to pop the question to his girlfriend. He used FaceTime to propose to his girlfriend. Dumb.
- I like the innovative mostly plastic body of the Torch. Its magical. I was nervous about BlackBerry making a phone that feels expensive like the iPhone. Even though the phone will be $199, the phone looks like its worth about $50. If I get mugged standing next to an iPhone user, they will go for the iPhone. You save money by not needing to buy theft insurance for this!
- 2 words: BlackBerry Messenger. Come on, you all know everyone uses this. I personally don’t know anyone but thats perfect, I’ll just send messages to myself and pretend I have friends that use it.
- My only complaint about this is they are using webkit for their browser. I like the old days of surfing the internet on the BlackBerry. Webpages took forever to load, and many times half of the webpage wouldn’t load at all. It made me a better person by practicing patience. I am now able to go to the DMV, post office on a Monday and hold on the line to reach my bank’s customer service rep without my head exploding.

My partner and I really enjoyed reading this blog post, I was just itching to know do you trade featured posts? I am always trying to find someone to make trades with and merely thought I would ask.
It’s not that I want to duplicate your internet site, but I really like the design. Could you tell me which theme are you using? Or was it tailor made?
