We will fight on the beaches
"This week saw the first potential financial crisis fought by BlackBerry on the beaches of some of the world's most exotic locations, as the electronic handsets became the essential accessory to keep many top investment bankers in touch with the unfolding events that rocked the markets." - Financial Times, August 11 2007.
Well in our case we were fighting business crises other than the ones referred to by David Oakley and Paul J Davies in their FT piece, and our weapon of choice was a Nokia E70 rather than a Blackberry device - but the concept was pretty much the same. Thanks to GPRS coverage finally having become widely available in many exotic destinations, we didn't have to choose between taking a vacation and being able to solve business issues in real time.

Thanks ajpscs. It was a lucky shot, mostly. I was trying to compose a frame with the handset in the fore and the beach in the background, and the vendor just wandered into the frame by accident.
