Removing the annoying default Sent Using Blackberry signature

Rate this review:

My Opinion of Removing the annoying default Sent Using Blackberry signature:

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.
