Watery Graves

What is it, exactly, about Blackberry devices and water? We’ve had two users this week completely trash their blackberries by dropping them in water, one in a pool, another in the tub.

Of course, the real question I should be asking is why can you not put the blackberry down for awhile? Seriously, relax in the tub, sit out by the pool and leave the blackberry somewhere else!

I stuck the CD in, re-booted, and had to hit enter one time to get it started. It identified all the hardware with no user intervention and booted right up. Thanks to a…

  2. Having had a worn out belt clip, and experiencing this, your idea is very valid.
    A few too many years ago, before PCs and Cell phones, I had my own business servicing electronics. It was amazing how much stuff can get dumped into TVs, I even had a good method to clean the boards, grain alcohol and a apprentice with a stiff brush…
