New BlackBerry
« on: June 09, 2008, 06:34:18 PM »
In view of my work situation and this august forum, I have a free upgrade.

I should get it on Wednesday and then will spend hours configuring it to suit.

User thoughts to follow.

Oh, and it is cheaper than the current phone.

Which model?

I recommend the Blackberry Curve to users at work, sometimes a broker will want the Pearl but I try to disuade them as the keypad is too small.

I am considering one of these. I have discovered that if I am away from my email etc for more than a couple of hours I get very antsy!  redface:

Antsy?

Is this a typo or another young-persons term with which we silver surfers need to be made familiar?

Antsy

Restless or impatient; fidgety: The long wait made the children antsy.
Nervous; apprehensive: “Camps got shot up all the time, but if there wasn't a shoot-up, they'd get antsy” (Harper's).

To have ants in one's pants "be nervous and fidgety" is from 1939; antsy "agitated, impatient" (1838) embodies the same notion.

I don't get fretful!

I feel on edge and slightly paniced at the idea things might be going on without me! Antsy!
