Firmware upgrade idea. (Score:5, Funny)
Maybe they can include this feature on the next firmware upgrade: When the phone hears you utter an expletive, it will delete the last word for you. Not only can we continue to propagate bad cellphone etiquette, but also enhance it with people regularly cursing at their phones in public places while texting.

Yeah, but my IPhone has gotten me laid, can you say that about your blackberry?
I'm sure that blackberries can also be used to place calls to escort services.

Agreed. Clearly more criticism should be aimed at Canadians.

-or and -our have quite different pronunciations, and the way we pronounce color over here, sounds nothing like colour. It has nothing to do with being lazy. This difference is more like cockney (sp?) vs. standard British English.
...However, I bet lazy has a lot to do with all that extra effort you put into verifying the spelling of "cockney", right?
pwn3t!
