    Oddly Martyn, I too have a blackberry. Government is paranoid about emails getting in to the wrong hands, Blackberry is the only approved device for .gov.uk emails ( or that’s what I am told). I used it for a fortnight or so and gave up. My fingers are either too fat or I am too clumsy. Thus people have my personal number, and emails go ignored until I can log in to a PC, even then I have to carry one of those dingly dangly number generator things with me everywhere.
