Do you think you have what it takes to type 75 wpm (words per minute) on a Blackberry phone QWERTY keyboard? Well, Mark Rejhon, a deaf Blackberry smart phone user thumbs his way into YouTube fame (not smashingly famous but you get my drift) my texting out words with his two thumbs at a rate of 75 wpm. Now, my little birdie tells me that perhaps a similar contest may take place later this year using only the Blackberry smartphone's QWERTY keyboard to become the fastest "thumberry" person alive, and win cash prizes. There's a twist to this contest I'm hearing but won't explain until later (if it is true about the contest and all). So, I guess there's time to practice and get your "thumberry" into hyperdrive. Meanwhile, enjoy Mark's "Thumbs of Fury" as he thumbs his way to 75 wpm.

Sad, probably lacks a life.....
Let's not get into that. No reason to bring that up.
How many blackberries does he run through in a year? ;)
MM, LOL yeah....that much I will agree. Although I do have a smart phone, it was eons before I succumbed and got one for myself. Life before smart phone was peaceful, that much I'll say.
Wow...a contest? For BB users only? Why am I not surprised?!

Hey Mike,
Why am I reading the white font of your article via my BB smartphone? You may ask your localized buddies to take a peek your blog via their BB smartphones.

Mookie, try refreshing. If not then go to "Column View" and then switch over to "Page View." One says no problem in seeing the webpage on his BB Curve. I also added a URL link since the embedded video doesn't come on a BB screen.
Candy,
Not surprised? What do you mean?
Mike, I take that back. I searched high and low and found that there are contests (or rather, tests) out there for other smart phones.
I just am not a big fan of BB's. That's all.

I still have my birdie.
ok, that explains it. AT&T? I hear they're better than Sprint.
I'm looking to get a Pixi. Guys with big hands can't handle Palms. ;)
