Broken: Day 2.
My first morning of official Blackberry [...]
Ok ladies.
I did it.
I actually DID IT.
I swore I never would.
But I just did.
I bought it.
I bought a Black CrackBerry. My phone has been almost breaking for the past 7 months. I’m not sure how I was able to keep it alive for as long as I did. The phone fell apart so many times. [...]
