Here’s a rather interesting story where a skier got wedged between two rocks. The blackberry in his pocket made his body just wide enough to fall 700 feet and saved his life. At first I thought the Blackberry saved the skier by letting him call 911 but I guess there’s more uses with Blackberries than just calling the emergency department. Very interesting, I am sure someone ...
