I did! And I left it on the counter at a McDonald’s in downtown LA after I ordered. It only took 30 seconds for it to disappear. I was able to track it a couple of hours later in the South Bay.

I kinda miss actual keyboards on phones

I had a red Blackberry Pearl and I loved it. It died after I got drunk on Halloween and dropped it in the toilet when I went to pee. I got an iPhone 3 after that and I've had some version of an iPhone ever since.

My brother is friends with the founder's nephew. That is as close as I have come to a Blackberry
