Never buy a Blackberry Torch

So I was flying down to Boston and as I passed through the cloud layer the tops of the clouds were tinged with red from the setting sun.  A unique view that you can't see from the ground.  I quickly grabbed my torch and and clicked on "camera" to grab the view for Hadley.  She loves pictures of my travels.  But instead of the camera app, I get an error message that says there is not enough memory to launch app.  WTF.
Ok, I quickly "switch app" to other open apps and click on the blackberry button to open the menu. Sometimes you have to click on close, other times exit, sometimes there is close and exit.  The option is usually in the bottom half of the scrollable list of options, but there is no consistency.  I close a few of the "big" apps and go back to launch the camera, same error.  I close or exit the rest until there are no apps left in the "switch apps" menu, and I still get the lack of memory error message.  ARGAHRAAAHAHHA.  Pull the battery, wait for the 5 min to reboot, and watch the sun set and the clouds turn to a uniform dull color.

Sorry Hadley, Blackberry hates happiness.
