The story about the disgruntled iPhone 4 owner in the AT&T store is classic… A must listen. We also talk a lot of Google.

Word on the street is that Research in Motion is working on new BlackBerry devices that will sport external antennas, you know, like the one that they iPhone 4 has, except, they will actually work. You see, contrary to the the popular belief of those born after Regan left office, mobile phones with external antennas was not a new idea created by Apple. Apple just did a piss poor job at implementing it.
In the picture above you see a BlackBerry 9100 with an external antenna, and, rumor has it that there are a bunch of new model designs sporting this design. RIM, for years, has been known for superior antenna design, however, even if they weren’t you could bet your last dollar that any device with even a hint of the antenna issues that the iPhone 4 has would never see the light of day.

I am not really stunned by how fast the Torch boots compared to the latest BlackBerry Bold model. It seems on par with (maybe a little slower than) the iPhone and Android devices. I am truly amazed, however, at just how long the other devices take to boot up. It’s kind of sad actually

Amazon does have an 181 day condition, but it appears to be only regarding termination. Even if i can’t get the discount for 6 months, it is still a lot cheaper than the ATT store and I don’t have to pay sales tax.
Fedex shipping is free, but it is "2-day" which is actually more like 4-5 days. I was not able to upgrade to overnight shipping. They don’t give any option for changing the type of shipping.
There is an $18 upgrade fee, but I would have had to pay that at the ATT store too. I’m upgrading from the original iphone which has been out of contract for several months. I played with the Torch at the store yesterday and really like the combo of iphone and bb type features.
