The Story of the RedBerry

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the never-give-up-never-surrender dept.

Howard H. Thaw writes "In my youniverse -- where I increasingly get to chose the devices I want, the services I need and customize them to my own specifications and standards - RIM offered me the BlackBerry device I wanted and needed - but that still only got me part of the way. Here's the story of my RedBerry, I hope it will inspire your own. According to Mathew Ingram, tech writer for the Globe and Mail in his column entitled Pimp Your Device this may very well be the world's only triple-coated and glazed Ferrari-red BlackBerry."

    I had a clear vision of what I wanted: a shiny, triple-coated and glazed, Ferrari Red BlackBerry that would accessorize my personality.

    You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking red-glazed blackberry.

      Sadly, he probably is. Superficial people are impressed with sperficial things. People identify themselves rather quickly.

      See? I have already identified myself as a jaded, cynical old man.
