BlackBerry numbering system all around.

We at Wireless and Mobile
News have found that our readers, don't like names that all letters and
numbers. They prefer names for their smartphones.  If you had a puppy or kitten, you wouldn't name him/her 9650.  Come here 9650, sit 9650,
it's too hard to remember and takes too long to say.
