On the Storm hand pain situation, can we have a contest to come up with a name for that medical condition? Storm-thritis, or RIM-thritis would be my medical diagnosis for chronic pain associated with prolonged use of a Blackberry Storm.

How's about it? Force-pressing that giant BlackBerry Storm keyboard got your hands twisted into immovable claws? Thumbs stressed out and swollen up the size of grapefruit? What do we call this phenomena? The Reptile has some suggestions above, but what's your funniest, wittiest, most snide, most fitting, nomination for the condition that's sure to afflict many new Storm users?

Winner will get their suggestion used -- with thanks and full credit -- on the front page!

(And thanks to The Reptile for sending this in!)
