Comments

blackberry_race_car

RIM has decided that the 7100, being a giant cumbersome and outdated device, is best served as a race car. In the spirit of the original 7100, the car is big, heavy and slow. Girls don’t like it and scrap yards won’t pay you for it.

Also, rumor has it that RIM is also making a boat out of the BlackBerry Storm. It doesn’t float.
