When we went on a tour of the House gallery, we had to do the same. Other than a pair of iPhones, each phone was unique. It took looking at the background to tell.
I can understand the need for sticky notes, though that seems like they might not stick on so well.
I put a label-printer label on mine with my email addy, in case some kind soul would actually return it if they found it. That's also helpful for ID when all our phones are lying around the house.
you're seriously surprised? the iPhone has nil penetration in corporate america. for god's sake, it doesn't even have copy-and-paste. and as far as email integration (esp with Exchange) goes the blackberry is depressingly unsurpassed. and since the sorts of people who are likely to be around the oval office don't give a fuck about running games or open-source but care an awful lot about their email, it's no surprise the bb is completely ubiquitous. (honestly, have you *tried* managing a real-sized (100+ messages a day) email account on any other mobile device? it can't be done.)
Also, in many government offices, you cannot bring in any phone with the capacity to take pictures. There's a whole subindustry in cameraless phones for government employees and contractors.
Indeed. I've also been told that this is the reason blackberry refuses to support any bluetooth use whatsoever except headset audio, to prevent them from being easily used to smuggle data out.
Sheeut. I don't have a nerdyphone yet, but you've almost sold me on a Blackberry. Exchange integration is a big win for me. That, and my cell phone carrier is Verizon, which sells them.
I'm just comparing it to my everyday experience, where at least 75% of smartphones I see are of the Apple variety. (And what does Open Source have to do with iPhones, anyway?)
As for large volumes of email, I use gmail now so I doubt it would be much of a problem.

The Blackberry they use to do actual work goes in the basket.
