After some chatter in a group chat with the guys tonight I decided to fire up my old BlackBerry. I’ve been dragging it around with me in the truck as a backup should something happen to my android.
I tried to power it up and was disappointed to find a dead battery. So, on the charger it went. It took almost 20 minutes before there was enough juice in the battery to even think about turning on.

Finally! The forever long bootup progress bar started creeping across the screen. (I swear I can backup, fully wipe, reflash rom and restore my apps on my Inc2 in less time than it took to bootup this old Bold)
After turning on my android tether for wifi connection, I went to find Touch (used to be called Pingchat) to download. I found an almost identical version of the Android app.
Double thumbs up! Its about damn time that BlackBerry gets some love from developers. The crew at Touch.com have done a fine job of bringing out a great looking app for the BlackBerry that also happens to function like the android version.
I enjoy talking my old BlackBerry 9650 out for a joyride via wifi once in a while. Doing so reminds me why I loved it and why I left it for Android.
