Rogers axes white BlackBerry Torch, celebrates Ottawa LTE launch with flash mob that people hate

Posted by Knowlton Thomas on 2011-07-14 1:09:00 PM

The white BlackBerry Torch wasn't around for long, and now Rogers has discontinued the model. The black model is still available, of course, although with a new Torch running OS 7 on the way, you probably shouldn't buy either colour anyway.

Meanwhile, Rogers celebrated the launch of its long-term evolution network in Ottawa with a dancing flash mob. But the YouTube video has thus far garnered a measly 300 views, with 73 percent giving the video a thumbs down, and the lone comment reading, "Worse flash mob ever"—which actually managed to earn more thumbs up than the video itself.

Update: The views have more than tripled to nearly 1,000, and the dislikes have piled on, now accounting for 78 percent of all reactions.
