    Who knew that a phone would become such an obsession for people! Seriously, we're like a secret society.

    I never understood this until I got my first berry. Now, when I see someone with anything but a berry, I almost feel bad for them. Is that a bad thing?

    before i got my bb, i would look at everybody who had one and i'd be like, "ohhh i wish i had my blackberry already". now it's kind of like when i see a person who has it, i'd be like, "coool they have a bb too"

    whenever i see someone on their cell, i do find myself staring to see if it's a BB, lol.

    i mean, it's great when i get a smile from the person but pretty awkward when they just stare back.
    +1 I do that, too...

    I do the "BlackBerry Wave." Sometimes when I see someone with a BB, I pull out my Curve, hold it up and wave it at them a bit.
    Do you do the "Miss America" wave, with exaggerated moves, or do you do the "Queen of England" wave where your hand just barely moves?

    I don't pay attention to what other people have. I only care about what I have.

    I was recently at an airport and saw hundreds of berries! When I sat down in my middle seat on the plane I was pleasantly suprised to see I was seated between two other BB users. As soon as the flight ended all three of us whipped out our phones and started playing I see them everywhere now!

    Yeah, it's more like profiling. I'm an elitist. You either become interesting with or less interesting without a blackberry.

    Yes, I find myself looking at everyone's phone to see what kind of phone they have and if its a BB, what kind. I've talked with complete strangers just to play with their BB if its not a curve like mine. I luv it.

    I'm a bb spotter and the other day in the store--I almost joined a BB Circle. There were these upper teens with their dad and they were all rock'n the Curve. It was funny--all of 'em in the aisle just crack'n away and talking excitedly about whatever they were looking at.

    I really, really need a CB sticker for my car or something... LOL!!!

    Yeah I stare at people to see what phone they have! lol

    The other dayI was in the subway, in the midle of the afternoon, covered in mud because that day I had been cleaning mangroves with my class, as an ecological field trip. Anyway covered in mud there I was looking like a beggar. people all clean and stuff were looking at me and starring... When I felt like I couldn't resist, i took my blackberry out of my pocket and started calling people and texting. People imediately stopped staring lol.. well they did stare a bit in shock but then stopped! lol
    I loved the feeling I felt... the sensation of POWER..

    I've never really noticed people with blackberries until recently since I just got my first. Today I went out and must have seen at least 5 people with blackberries.

    The other week i was at a customers offices and heard my phone go off. Out came the curve and it wasnt me

    I heard it go off again and again, thought my phone was playing up. i followed the tones to an office where the manager was sitting txting on his BB. I asked him if it was his BB that i could hear. He told me yes and i asked which model he had.

    A pearl he replied and looked at me as if he was the man.

    So i whipped out the curve and said i used to have a pearl

    Being an office furniture fitter im not your typical BB user in the UK

    LOL. I was at the post office the other day. It was a long line and I was bored so I pulled out my pearl and started reading threads on CB. Not to be outdone, the guy in front of me pulled out his pearl. I couldn't help myself... I asked if he'd heard of CB. He said no and I told him he needed to check it out. Nice to know I'm not alone! Thought I might be a BB stalker.

    now that i'm running 4.5 i go up to them and go "oh hey your YOUTUBE isn't working, you should take it back if you can't get streaming videoo"
