It shouldn't be used anywhere that gravy is served.

[jmathias]

should be no different than talking on any other phone just plain common sense

[puglady]

those of us that have ethics will already know what to do and when to do it.

i interned at smithsonian folkways this summer and there was one employee who made no bones about spinning in his chair and whirling away on his crackberry during meetings....ever since then i've wanted to be him...i love irreverence!

[sbkwright]

I guess just use common courtesy, don't have your ringer so it is annoying to those around you, talking loudly in public places etc.

[pimpin_one]

- Phone/BB Ringers ... if it's so loud everyone else can hear it, please answer it and don't let it ring over and over.

- Don't use the BB while driving

- Don't talk on your phone in a restaurant. Answering the phone is fine, if you can cut it short to say that you're being rude to those around you. Blabbing away on the phone while everyone is trying to eat ... not cool.

keep your voice down in public
don't BB and drive
don't answer or place a call while conversing in person with others...it is rude
mute your BB in church, theater, meetings, etc.
ringing BB can and should be ignored occassionally just to show it who is in charge....YOU ARE
Texting is no substitute for talking... Don't text when you can talk
Put your BB away when it' snot in use. Holding it in your hand and staring at it all day just makes you look like a pathetic loser with no life.

An acquiantance asked for my Pin. I idiotically gave it to him and started receiving msgs from him regarding getting a new job. This was all sent to my workline on my blackberry. My boss wasn't too happy.

I believe that metro birmingham AL has outlawed the use of non-handsfree cell phones while driving

[taff007]

I hate boring, loud & inane conversations on public transport. I can't count the number of times I've wondered why people couldn't wait until they got home to have such useless calls. Now if they had a blackberry they could e-mail their boring & inane conversations and nobody would know.

Also switch your phone off in meetings, and if you do forget and it does ring don't answer and say,'I'll phone you back", just reject the call.

[jchien]

I always have my phone on vibrate unless I am driving or home. The world does not need to know when my phone goes off

[applejosh]

I think proper BB etiquette would probably be similar to cell phone etiquette. I try not to ignore my friends and family by focusing exclusively on my Pearl. I suppose common sense would probably be a good start.

[Ti2m]

BB etiquette should be the same as a cell phone. Is it OK to use a cell phone in a public bathroom?

[rbsprouse]

Sitting in church and looking over to discover the person in front of me on their bb.
