When you gotta take a dump at work, you sit down, take out your Blackberry and start checking email/news/the net/etc. During the quiet moments when you're not clicking, you hear the guy in the stall next to you doing the same thing :laugh:

That is just nasty. You're gonna smear shed all over the blackberry and turn it into brown- or greenberry.

The company that made what we now call Blackberry.

Hey Martin - is it true that Blackberries could end up banned from the U.S. because of a patent dispute?

If it is greenberry, then he needs to lay off the oreos and black licorice.

Good to know you're one of six people who wash their hands after pooping.

possible, but it won't happen. IIRC, NTP lost a number of claims in the last judgement. Most likely, either RIM will win or sign some licencing agreement with NTP if they loose.

Darn. I was looking forward to switching the whole firm to Treos. ;)

What kind of job are you doing there? I interviewed for an RF engineeri job this summer but didn't get it :( No matter, I ended up landing another job that pays even better :D

I can, but I don't want to get fired :) RIM very big on NDAs and don't believe in hype. The good side is, if/when something is announced, it will be available immediately.

Anyway, there is a forum called "rumour Mill" on blackberryforums.com. You can get some info there...
