Here a story. I got BB RIM 850 when I was 15ish years old, it was my first communication pre-smartphone device. I stupidly set up to wipe my blackberry if input incorrectly after a few times, and I did this within minutes of first time using it. You can imagine what happened in the next 10 minutes... Yes, I forgot my complicated password and it got wiped. And that rendered my brand-new RIM 850 useless. So, I have to wait 10 days to get a new one.
