The Phantom Light!

I am starting to get sick and tired of this blackberry phenomenon of the ‘phantom light’ !

I got my first blackberry as a valentines day gift this year from shannon. How effing cool is that? Finally, a woman who treats her geek properly I do admit, I have snagged a keeper!

So for the past few months I have been tinkering with it. Downloading applications, themes, programs, setting up all my email accounts to filter to my blackberry. After a while you kind of get those ‘feelings’ when you know without looking at your berry, that theres a message waiting. Well a while after that, you start to get the ‘phantom’ sightings.

What I mean by this is… Lets say you are me, and we are driving down the road. Well, you being me, a super uber geek, you prop your berry up against the shifter so the screen is visible and you dont have to hold it, or keep it in your lap. Out of no where, you see the red LED alert light flash (thats what happens when you get an email, miss a call, recieve an SMS, etc). Dont forget, you are me, and we are one bad ass geek. So we immidiately reach for the berry to check on the alert. All of a sudden…………..

IT FLASHES GREEN (Meaning there is NO message or anything waiting)

Being baffled the first few times, I watch it for a few more blink cycles… all green.

THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO ME AND IM SOOOOOOO READY TO PULL THE GREEN LIGHT OUT FROM THE PHONE! WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!
