A weird little video’s popped on Youtube in the last couple of weeks, showing Blackberry phones may have more powers than anyone suspected. A Blackberry Pearl seemingly has the power to make a portable torch-flashlight-lamp-thing turn itself on and off at random… And to prove it, here’s the video:
Ooo-oo-ooh, isn’t that weird! To quote user yettascom, who posted the video, “My Pearl is about 2 years old.. and a refurb. It’s always done weird things when too close to speakers – makes them sputter out all kinds of noise due to its radio antenna signals. Last night I discovered a new.. “trick” this thing has. I put it next to a rechargeable LED lantern/light and suddenly it started blinking WILDLY. When I moved the BB away, it stopped. The light is controlled by a physical button, and to my knowledge does not have any radio controls..”
Some kind of weird poltergeist activity? Alien frequencies beamed down through our TV sets (sorry, can you tell I’ve been playing Path of the Furon on my new XBox ALL WEEKEND)? Evidence that his Blackberry Pearl’s not been refurbished very well?
I wonder if I can get my Sony Ericsson X1 to do that…
What do you reckon: poltergeists, aliens, or a rubbish refurbishment job? Leave us a comment and pick your favourite explanation!
