I am in the high-profile community where most use Nokia E90 (the top Management level) and Vertu phones (the BOD level).
Im the rare BB’er. The ‘looking cool’ factor didnt come to mind, rather its convenience that attract me to get one.
As a matter of fact, device does NOT matter to cute ladies. The way you spend your money DOES.
Girls rather go with guys with OK device to his place with Audio Research sound system than with those with cool gadgets to their place with Sony sound system

I sort of have the flip side to this story. I had a friend who was going in for an interview and wanted to borrow my Blackberry so she can look more of a ‘big shot’.

I told her that’s funny as hell and my answer is no, because you can’t fake being a big shot. Unlike every reader on BBCool.

He saw my 8700 on my hip and asked why I didn’t have it sitting on the bar showing it off (as he did).

I basically told him, as you stated, what others are thinking when people flaunt their BB’s.

He told me those people were just jealous. I walked away.
