Blackberry Woes

Chris Claypool was addicted to his BlackBerry wireless handheld. Like many users, he never thought twice about pecking away at lightning speed, replying to a wave of e-mails from clients around the globe. Last year, the 37-year-old agricultural sales director from Post Falls, Idaho, noticed a throbbing sensation in this thumbs whenever he typed. He switched to tapping with his index finger, then his middle digit and finally his pinky. But his thumbs pained him to the point where he can't even press the buttons on his TV remote control.

Blackberry

I have a Blackberry. My Firm (actually me) installed a Blackberry server to synch up with our Exchange server and began offering them to employees about two months ago. We are kind of late coming to the plate. Most of my IT peers working for Law Firm did this years ago.

Anyway, I had heard of Blackberry thumb, but I don't use mine to send all that many messages. Mostly, I just read the ones I get and then as a phone. I do send an occasional message. The guy that works for me, though, is another story. Not only does he send e-mail messages he uses it for text messaging as well...246 of them last month alone!
