Research in Motion's
Blackberry Phone is often configured by default to have a default
e-mail signature akin to
Sent using Blackberry. This signature is highly annoying and inconsiderate, and violates
netiquette e-mail standards.
Unfortunately, RIM doesn't make it non-trivial to change this. Users should be able to log into their provider's configuration utility to modify (or remove) the signature. Moreover, in at least the case of
Sprint Nextel, this web site only registers changes if the user is using
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Really, that this is not configurable from the device itself is a major usability oversight, and while it increases brand recognition for RIM and the carriers, it is extremely rude.
