Something we all knew.

ohh so I guess its a bad thing that emails come in when the device is in my pocket?
To be frank, I was (and continue to be) concerned that the product and safety info booklet was not included in my boxed 8830, nor was it incorporated into the boxed Sprint User Guide. If it was buried on the CD, this is still not acceptable.
I only learned about the body separation requirement a few months ago, by accident, while I was searching for the actual Flash/RAM specs of my device, usually to be found in the Safety & Product Info doc - and was wondering how I could have missed this when I first unboxed my unit and read through all of the printed materials.
I used to carry two BBs on my belt for a number of years, near my two front pockets, but not any more.
Now I carry one BB with an approved holster clipped to my belt or change pocket when wearing jeans.
