With the BlackBerry outage leaving many users carrying around a useless brick I want to know what everybody did to pass the time. I know some people who were just cursing RIM every 2 seconds. I gave up and went out with some friends to grab drinks and then watch Inglorious Bastards.
So do you have any good outage stories? Did you learn to play the Ukulele? Hide in bed? Play a game of Fish Chess? Let us know in the comments!
Fish head to e4…

I had service until 9pm last night. So I went to bed when it went down. Got me some extra sleep.

I woke up every couple hours during the night and groggily checked if data was on again. I’m obsessed.

I had to break out the iPhone and must admit worked very well.
But no matter how hard I try, I just can’t type on it!

I looked up the specs and reviews for the HTC HD2. I’m ditching my bb after 2.5 years to go with a phone that works ALL the time.
