BlackBerry for lefties

[bbgurl171]

Anyone out there a lefty bb user and find it annoying to use the current devices?

[finch]

Nope no issues at all, trust me I suffer from pretty bad leftism! Just keep telling yourself it can't be any worst than being a lefty and have to write within a three ring binder! Need I say more...

[bbgurl171]

Hahahahha...so true finch !!

Oh. My. God.

I would go nuts

Umm... couldn't you just write on the left-hand side instead of the right? Am I missing something here?

[coreyg510]

True, but then you have to write on the back of every page. Just think about it.

I am a lefty... I have heard it is a sign of genius. :wink:

From Wikipedia:

"Throughout history being right-handed was considered normal (the Latin word dexter meant "right" and is associated with skill, while the Latin word sinister meant "left" and is associated with wickedness)."

And if y'all have problems with the right handed BlackBerrys, just turn the,m upside down!

[T-Roy]

I have no problem. I use my index finger on my left hand, or god forbid, if I should use my right hand, my thumb retains the required amount of dexterity.

:razz:

[Michbb]

I almost do everything left handed unless what I am doing makes me do it right handed. So I think if they introduced a left handed blackberry I would still use the right because I've gotten used to it.

Lefties Unite!

[cybermikey3]

you know, now that i think about they should make a left handed blackberry! hah, nah it doesnt really bother me too bad but sure it would be nice.

[Soapm]

Only good thing about lefties is the handshake should be cleaner.

[rgabel]

I learned a long time ago that growing up in a "right handed" world meant that you needed a certain level of adaptation. However, my "adaptation" is so bad now that I can't even use scissors with my left hand anymore.

I use my blackberry in whichever hand it happens to be in. Thumb of my right hand and middle finger with my left hand.

[Koperry]

You got that right, I'm a leftie and I've pretty much gotten so used to doing things right handed that about all I do is write as a leftie.

[ShaneToronto]

Why can't lefties ever write in regular notebooks/binders/etc? I don't understand the problem. Is it the position of the hand vis a vis the rings?

[gwbishop]

ShaneToronto -- you are definitely NOT a lefty. Try it and you will see the problem.................

...or you could get the new SE M600i when it is released? Jog-dial wheel is on the left and supports BB Connect:

So that explains all those years of getting in trouble. Now I can better embrace my wickedness. :x

As for the three ring binder that is just a pain in the a@<hidden>#.

I have the same problem, my secretary bought me left-handed scissors, trying to be helpful, but I can't use them because I've used right-handed ones for so long.

What I find annoying is the ALt M. An automatic spell checker might fix that.

[Rushjerzee]

I've gotten used to doing everything right handed...I would guess I wouldn't know what to do with a left handed BB....though maybe the trackwheel could be on the other side??? NAH....

The binder thing does get irritating Corman...I have to agree

[timshwak]

Writing with a pen or magic marker is not that easy when you don't want ink on your hands wither

[Kablooey]

Isn't the design of a three ring binder to allow the easy removal of the pages? Why can't you write what you need to and then put the pages back in?
Maybe we can make a new language for left handed people. It could be just like english...but everything is backwards. Each letter could be reversed...evcept for letters like l,i,o,x,w etc. that look the same even when reversed, and you could write right to left instead of left to right...

Sounds like FUN

Most left handed people do not have a dominate side of their brain like right handed people do. Also left handed people on avergae have a higher IQ than that right handed people, right handed people do almost everything right handed while most left handed people use both hands.

Alot of the great minds throughout history were left handed including, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Ludwig van Beethoven, Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, and Julius Caesar just to name a few.

You guessed it I am a lefty also :)

[Koperry]

And another lefty, no problem with the blackberry though

[DocGo]

Most left handed people do not have a dominate side of their brain like right handed people do.
Most left handed people are still left brain dominant (about 70% compared to almost 100% of right handed folks being left brain dominant).
BTW, I am a neurologist.

[Barrikin]

Another left person here.. But I can use my BB with my right just fine...


Man, I hate 3 ring binders as well.

I use to start at the back of the binder and go to the front. Worked for me :)

[hooba]

I'm another lefty that uses the BB with the right w/ no problems...have been doing it for 5 years now.

I used to catch a baseball with my left, take the glove off, pinch it under my arm and then throw with my left.

can't argue with a neurologist now can I :) my statement was based on reading that I have done and i guess wrong. Some test I had years ago said the right side of my brain in the dominate side for me so I guess I am in the 30%

[taeisme]

I am a lefty and have no problems here.

Is your avitar professional advice or a self portrait?

Seriously, is it true surgeons must use their less dominant hand during med school? Does that develop the other half of their brains or just improves the dexterity in their other hand?

[jfisher]

i'm so happy to be a lefty. at school it meant i was different and so automatically got cool points. no prob using a bberyr though, i just use my index finger automatically when it's in that hand, it works well in both.

[romerom]

lefty here too!! tho i play guitar "right handed" i think its more because its all that was around at the time.. left for writing, throwing, ***** slappin hoes

[RWill1]

I am left handed but I have the ability to control it with the right or the left hand. Just like i can use a right handed mouse in the left or right hand....

[getthething]

I'm right handed and wish the BB was setup for lefties. For some reason i talk with the phone in my left hand.

[joginder]

Hey, Try typing up side down

[harryzuluberries]

binder issue solved: spiral notebooks with rings on the right (a Godsend in college!) or spiral top bound notebook

world being right dominant: everyone else is abnormal and lefties are the misunderstood and underappreciated geniuses!

blackberry being designed for righties: i channel the spirit of my left hand into my right and everything works out just fine.(y) (notice the left handed thumb!)

[jungleland]

I am a lefty and the BB works fine for me, I would be retarded using my left hand
on the trackwheel...
