Good point! I wonder if this pic really has anything to do with China

I'd say his icons need some serious organizing. Or is this the way most persons icons are? Anyway can't see the first row. If he'd only scroll up.

the date is Feb 10th. Cirtainly it's a file photo.

That's an awfully SMALL BlackBerry and he needs to scroll up. The first icon should be the inbox for messages. I had to pull out my 7730 to verify that.

Also the description says " A man checks his BlackBerry". Can someone tell me how do you check email from 'Options'

wibbly · #11 05-13-2006 -

Options is being highlighted by the user. Options usually has an underscore under the O.... but that seems to have been removed in this shot.

It doesn't say he's checking his email - maybe he's gone into his options to check something in there?! Very silly - and a typical product of a PR company not really understanding what they're promotong in the first place. Loads of 3rd party apps showing too, though maybe that was intended?!

sigh :-(
