Dear RIM,
So we all know that the structure of things determine their abilities and characteristics; birds have wings that allow them to fly, tall trees can channel lightening, and bananas are shaped a particular way that makes them useful in high school sex-ed classes (is that just a stereotype? Not sure if I've actually seen that). Anyway, its the same with BlackBerrys: the unique structure of the keyboard destroys all of our relationships with people whose names begin with P.
I know its not just me. I have definitely had numerous conversations with people about how the P names get pocket-dialed most commonly by far, often to the point where embarrassed users have to delete those poor P people from their phone books. Darwin would definitely have a lot to say about this--pretty soon, we will work through all the Ps in our phone books, cut off our relations with them, stop making friends with people whose names start with P... eventually people will become subconsciously averse toward naming their children with P, and beautiful names such as Parth (sorry man, you really got it the worst) and Pablo and Paul will become extinct. All I'm saying is, this is sad.
I ask that P be provided a buffer key (put a caps lock there or something, we all need that one, the shortcut-combo is just too hard to engage or even remember). What about the other letters on the periphery, you ask? Well, the only others are Q and A, and Q (which takes the other corner hot-spot) is just rare to have for a name in the first place, and yeah, A is a problem too but its not as conspicuous, so we can just take first things first.
Sincerely,
Tara Raffi
