    Trinston,

    Truth be known there are so many other things in life that I might get offended at but something like calling the BB a phone, no.

    In the past when someone says to me I love your phone, I tell them it's a BlackBerry and rather than get upset, I show them how great and fabulous it is and 9 times out of 10 they end up getting one or wanting one. It's so much better to just be down to earth and not get aggravated or offended. Life is way too short. I feel sometimes like I'm 25 going on 100. lol
    I guess I'm an old soul at heart.

    No. My household has 2 BB Curves and a Nokia 6126; no landline. It IS my phone (and so much more!). I'm also more than happy to demonstrate its complete bad-***-ocity to anyone who shows the slightest spark of interest. I sold a guy on it in the sandwich line at lunch today.

    I live in such a rural area I might fall over if someone actually called it a BlackBerry!
    However I have trained my friends, family and employees to address the BB properly!

    Although it is not primarily a phone it does/can serve as a phone device therefore is in fact a phone.




    After reading many of my posts, it seems like I might be coming off as an A$$. Please do not take my replies as such. Thank you. lolz

    Not at all. I do use it as a phone every day, and I call it my phone. Blackberry or Smartphone are both just its classification as a device to me. I really don't care what people call it.

    No, but then again I don't take umbrage easily about much of anything nowadays. Life's just too short.

    I don't get offended, but I find that I don't call it a cell anymore. I call it by it's name or "my BlackBerry".
    I do get offended if people call my car a VW Bug or a clown car

    No, life is way too short. Plus, those who count know it's a BB and call it a BB

    Funny, MiniBB. VW Bug is a fun car - not quite as much of a clown car as that other really squinty car The name escapes me............

    Gia sweet as it may seem, off the thread too, but the chances of a romance between fatreg & I is highly unlikely.
