So get a damn keyboard, they make them for palm pilots. I don't see what the problem is, other than these people being too stupid.

the thing is, people get carpel tunnel from keyboard overuse. either way, you're damned. just comes with the times.

"Repetitive motion injuries, which have long afflicted desktop and laptop computer users, are invading the mobile handheld world."

Wrong. People get carpel tunnel from prolonged incorrect keyboard use.

and my link is for preventing carpel tunnel caused by repetitive motion. if people were educated, there wouldn't be nearly as many problems as there are.

ok, not directly, but it is underlying.

anyways, maybe blackberries will finally go away, they have been annoying from day one, and who really needs to be connected 24/7? no me, I like not having a pager or cell phone for work.

Wrong. People get carpel tunnel from prolonged incorrect keyboard use.

so if people used the most ergonomic equipment and positions, you mean to say that they will never get carpel tunnel?

review your anatomy and physiology. carpel tunnel comes from overuse of the joints and ligaments in the hands. improper keyboard just accelerates this degeneration.
