My blackberry has started doing wonky things for no reason. The other day I sent 3 messages in the space of about as many minutes. I didn’t turn off, reset or otherwise monkey with my phone between messages. The first one mentioned soup. No problem. The second one, the word soup was garbled into “php”. The third one was my favorite.

What I wrote and sent: “We’re on our way as soon as Roger gets some soup to take to Tracy. [followed by other sentences that aren’t important to this story]”

What my phone actually send: “We’re on our way as soon as Rogers gets some pcp to take to Tracy. [followed by a screen full of x’s and u’s]”

Excellent.

I wonder if this has anything to do with dropping it and causing it to break into a million little bits? It’s under warranty, I really should go replace it. (Which would be free, and thus eminently preferable to the absurd cost of replacing it with an iphone, which I think would be a big waste of money).
