Berries out of control

Got my blackberry earlier this week and it has been misbehaving already!
1) Doesn't vibrate: my handheld stopped vibrating this morning (I set it to vibrate mode), I had to power it on and off several times to get it working again. Apparently, this is a known hardware problem according to my buddy working in RIM, the failing system is referred to as a "lemon". I wonder why?
2) Laggy server: Around 2:00-4:00 today, i stopped receiving any emails from my berry. However, my server was still getting it and i can only read it on my laptop. Then at 4:30, I think the RIM servers suddenly work again, and my lousy berry started to vibrate like crazy for all the emails that was coming through. I had to turn it off just to get through a meeting, or everyone would've thought that I drank too much water and was shaking endlessly... ha ha ha.

Good to know blackberry's technical problems.. isn't it RIM's top product? I'm still debating whether to buy blackberry or palm pilot.. sound like blackberry isn't a good choice! the evil blackberries look very cute! did you purposely paint the blackberries with evil smiles?

ha ha ha... yeah; I painted the evil berries myself... LOL, they look funny eh?

Blackberry is really useful to conencting to ur work/school email so you can check mail on the go; but other than email, there isn't much fun/functionality with it. The palms have better organizers, and even my cellphone has better games than it! So it really depends on what you want (work vs. functionality) :)
