Bloopers with Blackberry

Seen the Airtel ad where the fair-complexioned businessman "AJ" beats his rather dark (and decidedly Indian) competition by bidding on a big project using his Blackberry from outside his office (and takes off in a helicopter to boot)?

Well, yesterday, I got a email message from a venture capitalist (in reply to my newsletter) that was signed "Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld". Which is pretty cool, except for the fact that the message was not meant for me. It was something to do with a deal and meant for the VC's colleague!

Guess, the BlackBerry just helps users screw up royally as well.
