The Blackberry buzz
We’ve all heard it: that staccato buzz coming over a telephone speaker, even when it’s off, and we look to play a game of, Who Has the Blackberry? The other day at a big event, I heard it over the loudspeakers. I wondered whether this was engineered in; it would be smart if irritating advertising for the ‘berry. But I see it’s called the GSM mosquito and new standards are supposed to eliminate it.

the best was when i was on a jury recently, and one of the witnesses hadn’t powered down his phone and it came over the PA system in the courtroom. i knew what it was, but alot of folks didn’t.

Hello,

I spoke with RIM’s global intelligence director to find out why the buzz occurs, what RIM is doing about it, even a few ways users can muffle the buzz. Check it out:
