Action now has a symbol, but does the symbol have a name?

Shooting Star.... people respond to it quick too... indicates its importance aswell
IqWaN

BB 9780 white os 6
pin:236154FD

BB Playbook 32gb os 2.0.1.668

Notistar

I like "noti" best so far.
Followed by "StarBurst"

Nova is no good because it has the opposite meaning in Spanish from what it symbolizes

No Brainer. It's the BlackBerry Action or BBA. Action starts here!

I think it should be called SUP which stands for 'Some Unopened Post

I'm a big fan of Calvin & Hobbes and I go with "Splort". keeping it close to the 'splat', but with a bit more fun!

BlackBerry Phoenix Unleashed!

You didn't think we were done yet?.........Did you, Mr. Iphone, Mr. Android? What you thought was the end, is just a new beginning.

BERRYCON...................

Ladies and Gentlemen We are introducing to you the Winner for the name of OUR Favourite A C T I O N symbol...and it is ....

S P L A S H !!!

BlackBerry Splash !!!

(combination of splat + smash = SPLASH) !!!

thank you! ;)

PS: what is the sweet prize that i win? ;)

Wow, great ideas so far! I've done some thinking myself, came up with a longish list and pared it down to a small smorgasbord:

Things that alert / notify you
BlackBerry Jab
BlackBerry Bump (Thump)
BlackBerry Tap (Tip)
BlackBerry Peek (Peex? Pique?)
BlackBerry Q (Cue)

Visual cues
BlackBerry Ink
BlackBerry Trax ("track" like a footprint, also "tracks" your messages etc.)
BlackBerry Star
BlackBerry Spot (Dot)
BlackBerry Flag (Flare, Beacon)

Things that make noise (like a ringing phone...)
BlackBerry Bleep
BlackBerry Jangle
BlackBerry Ding
BlackBerry Ping
(ok, I can't do Bing....)

Fruity berry things
BlackBerry Thorn (an itchy reminder you've just gotta press...)
BlackBerry Zing
BlackBerry Pi (hey, pi is a symbol too...)
BlackBerry Tart
BlackBerry Squash (Squish)
BlackBerry Squirt
BlackBerry Splash

And just for fun
BlackBerry Plix (why? Dunno... Reminds me of "pick" and "click" at the same time... Plus I kind of like things with "X" in them)
BlackBerry Splax (splash + X)
BlackBerry Blink (Blinx? Why not?)
BlackBerry Tattle (because it sneaks you the message...)

OK, ok, I'll stop now...

Put a stem on it and it could be a maple leaf! LOL. I think I always thought of it as a star. I like splat but that's not gonna work in advertising. Splort's not bad or burst.

Blackberry Spark. Spark your productivity and imagination with Blackberry.

Or just call it sparky!:)

Berry

It is an asterisk so I will refer it to it as such.

In keeping with current advertising, I'd call it the "BBD", short for "BlackBerry Done", because once you click it, yet another task will be done. Kinda corny but worthy of a prize. :)

A "Do-dot"

It's a "BlackBerry Blossom" or "Bloom"...what else could it be...?

The DO-IT or Duit
The Push

I've been calling it...The Notification Star all these years. Short version.....North Star

What ?? I've never seen this before !!

"Screwhead" (as in, looks like a...) or "Cheerit" (came about because I thought it looked like a cherry, but now thinking along lines of Cheer It! because something new and exciting arrived).

I would call it Blackberry Pixie...

Noti-ping? Noticon?

B.I.N.

"BlackBerry Instant Notification". I think the word "instant" is key since the BB platform has this advantage over other platforms.

Alternatively:

"BlackBerry Intelligent Notification"

StarCon.

The blacker the berry the sweeter the use...

I would call it

BLACKBERRY BOL (BOL in blackberry symbol, BOL in Be Bold)
BOL: Be On Line.

My two cents.

The DooDah.

As in... "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah-Dey" from a Disney classic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcxYwwIL5zQ

Pros:
1) it's already in the lexicon
2) "Blackberry, for people that Do"... ---> DooDah (a symbol for something to Do!)

Blasterisk

"Berryfication", "BeaconBerry" or "Berry Blink" or "Blink Berry".

The "Ring of Fire", cos you look like that after a red hot curry :0).

ASH. (Action Starts Here). If not this one, then I vote Nova.

Acticus Nowamust

how about Thor's Mark or Print

I like Splat lol

I usually call it the "Read Me!" asterisk.

Action now has a symbol, Is it not then the action symbol? Or symbol of action?

I was going to say asterisque but it was said before so what about pindot (tm)or pinstar (tm)!

STAT = Status
Seriously
Take
Action
Today .)

Red ... October ;) It looks like communist symbol somehow to me. With the voice of Sean Connery (One ping only). Sonar ping or sonar pulse. Pulse sound catchy.
Action Star is good, Action Mark or just Action! will be fine also.
Ping, ding, bdiong, beep! From the sound of notification.
Roger! Over!

I think that BBM should have it's own 'roger beep', the one which will be patented and put on first place in BBM commercials. Each BBM messenger instance should sound that beep as a default new message sound.

BlackBerry Blip!

Stellify
(Astronomy) to change or be changed into a star. Perfect for the BlackBerry transition back to greatness.

Also an amazing tune by the god-like genius that is Ian Brown. Look it up.

Why not call it the Action symbol? Or if we need something more creative to define itself, maybe "A-Req" (pronounced as "ay - rek" for "Action Required")

I can also think of "Do-time" or "Go-time" or "Do-star" (BlackBerry people DO!)

I would call it "Burp"
My "BlackBerry BURPS" once in a while, Everybody does it at least once in a while :D

Burp/Blackberry Burp
limetrip.blogspot.in/

Call it: FEPA (Forget Everything & Pay Attention to me)

Ping star sounds cool !

According to its definition, a motion is a proposal for action.

Therefore, call it the BlackBerry Motion™ - an official trademark of Research in Motion.

Red Dot

Bb10 is all about your flow, and what guides your flow more than new notifications? So I call it Ebb, as in Ebb and flow. Two things intrinsically linked.

How's it sound?

Badda-Bing Badda-Boom ! now that sounds nice and nichey!

Wasn't gonna read them all to see if this was used. BB TAG

Doti

Ta-Da!

I would call it...

"Thumb Star", instead of "Thumb tack".

Hyper Star, Advisory Star, Greeter Star, Butler Star, Cater Star, Siren Star, Alert Star, Reminder Star,
Focus Star, Attention Star or Attent Star, Indica Star aka Indication Star.

Demanding Star, Demand Star, Magnet Star, Touch Star (as in Touch Start).
Royal Star, Mood Star, Tickle Star, etc..... lol.

In general, a node refers to a point of intersection.
All hail the Blackberry Node alert symbol !!!!!!

Gotu
Ingot
LookSee
Gandersand

Diamond, sparkle, glint, show'd, drop, spot, blot, notice, here, use, obey. like glint, sparkle, and blot the best

Diamond, sparkle, glint, show'd, drop, spot, blot, notice, here, use, obey. like glint, sparkle, and blot the best

BlackBerry "Juice" or "splash".

prompterisk ("prompt" to take action and asterisk refers to the sign)

Tsurfsup
Yow
PopZit

I like "Mir" RIM backwards of course.

Or hmmm.... need something fun,how about "Notey" or "Nodie"of course short for notification.

Doesn't have to be to compicated now does it?

Scenerio: two people are talking and a guy says "hey hold up a second." let me check this notey ,nodie - just got on my BlackBerry :)

The BlackBerry nodie :D

FlickStar
B-Spot
Fluffy
ShoFlake

I would call it 'NEOCON' (New Icon)....or maybe just 'NEO'

Also rhymes with 'DEVCON' :D

I only have one question

Is the Action Symbol Patented?

Actis - "..powerful symbol that represents Action.."

The Latin word "actio", which refers to 'the doing of something'

Simple and in motion. "BlackBerry Propel"

I'd say BERRYRED!!!!!!

Nipple
Bipple
Navel
EyeDrum

Simple. This is the stink star skeet! Skeet, skeet.

1. Five Star
2. All point
3. T.A.D aka totally awesome dot
4. L.A.M aka look at me
5. Jump cuz it looks like a stick man jumping and you should jump to the msg

Call it Dingle. That's what I always think of because it's the sound I associate with BBM.

Or you could always call it Fred, but I like Dingle better

Ding or BlackBerry Ding

Dinggggggg. Hear it. See it. Do it

My thoughts are BBN. See when your on BB10 and BBM, you are always connected because of BBN. (BlackBerry Notification) ......."Introducing the new BB10. New to BlackBerry? Where have you BBN......(A play on the word been)

call it "Flash"....cuz when your phone vibrates or receives a notification, the LED light always flashes and with that flash the notification symbol is always associated. :)

Call it Pavlov, or CC for classical conditioning, because let's face it, we all click open the app when we see that stimulus :)

It should be called the "ping"

how about "Satim" which is latin for immediately or without delay

Notice

*More to come

Nag
Nagger
wildfire

I do like what's been mentioned though
-Spark
-action

How about 'RED'...like: "hey bro, you have a red" referring to the symbol & the flashing red light.

OR

Raspberry

Gleam
Gleem
Glint
Wink

Burst or peek-a-bo!

How about... the BlackBerry Spur?

"The very old word derives from Anglo-Saxon spura, spora, related to spornan, spurnan, to kick, spurn; cf. Medieval High German Sporn, modern German Sporn, Dutch spoor, Frisian spoar.[1] The generalized sense of "anything that urges on, stimulus" is recorded in English from circa 1390."

"Spur into Action with BlackBerry."

It even fits with their current marketing campaign, isn't far off from the current name 'splat,' and even looks like a spur you'd see on a riding boot.

It would give new meaning to the phrase "My Boss is really putting the spurs to me." (constant emails).

Q (for cue) or Noti.

How about a Pulsar? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar
"Noti" mentioned above is pretty catchy too.

I call it the BlackBerry Now. Or just the Now for short.

I would call it BLACKBERRY SHOUT!!

I'm all for the Blackberry burst, but so that I actually have A CHANCE at winning, i proposed the Blackberry Note. A note is simple, short and to the point. A note reminds you of something important. And, its part of the word notification.

Blackberry Note

Or, perhaps the Blackberry Bolden. It fits with their current market strategy, and also, like Bold type, brings your attention to where it needs to be

"Arterisk" because instant updates are the lifeblood of the BB experience. Ha!

bolt

BlackBerry Rash
BlackBerry Scab
BlackBerry Zit

because once you see it you can't help but pick at it!

UmLOUD... as in umlaut... but cooler.

How about Dingle Berry!!??....Oh...wait..Hmmmmmmm ummmm I like seed.

BlackBerry - seed, they go together. What do you do when one pops up??? You plant the seed of course.:)

#TeamBlackBerry FTW

BRAMBLE

Yes ladies and gentlemen the word is BRAMBLE ...cause it is ...what it is

And you ask why??? so here you go

Bramble in the United Kingdom is any rough, (usually wild) tangled prickly shrub, specifically the blackberry bush, with thorny stems. It may also refer to the blackberry fruit or products of its fruit. The shrub grows abundantly in all parts of Great Britain, and harvesting the fruits in late summer and autumn is a favourite pastime.

So harvest your messages when BRAMBLE shows up

Playbook and Bold Smartphone User here from the Philippines.

Call it Rimmer or Tapper.

The Woohoo Mark!!

Woohoo software update

Woohoo new mail

Woohoo BBM!!!!!!!!

How about a Berry-Zit???? Don't you just hate when they pop up?

Edit: someone got it in while I was typing. I love it that I'm not the only person who is weird. Hahaahaha

I would just call it the Blackberry "Signal" ...it would be short-formed as B.Signal. Just like how Batman has the Bat Signal, We Blackberry people have our own too!

Screw New

How about:

Star

Alert

Ping

Notie

I think anyone of the above would be appropriate.

I can't believe no one has mentioned this, but the Apple mirror of the Windows Key which looks like Irish-type knot in a square has been called a "splat" since the Mac SE days in the mid-90's.

Also a "bang" is the yellow exclamation mark in the Windows Device Manager.

I also like Noti or Notice as others have mentioned. We need a HUGE poll to vote!

PING.

It should be called a Ping.
Nice, clean, simple.

Thoughts?

I think it should be something catchy, something with flash, but something that encompasses what BlackBerry is all about, so my suggestion is:

"The Connectivator" (connect-iv-ater)

It sounds like some year 2094 teleportation device, but I think "connectivator" would combine technical power with a focus on connection, which is what BlackBerry is all about.

It should be called the "DO" BUTTON FOR PEOPLE WHO DO.

BB Alert

Blink

REDMEN

Red Messenger Notification

Ruby!!

Let's go with "BLERT"

As in.... B(lackberry) + (a)LERT = BLERT

-Wolf-

I always call it " SEED " you know, like someone or something plant a SEED on you and u just have to click on it and a MUST to open it...simple and catchy.

" seed "

Call it the "BAct", for B.lackberry Act.ion, thats the BAct, hey I got a New BAct on BBM.

how about the blackberry star?

Wink

Its like the wink of an eye, calling your attention, telling you to come and see. xD
Its sexy, its funny, its intriguing =)

Blackberry Wink

BBA - BlackBerry Action

I would call it: Rimmee.

I call it, 'Booya!!' because that's the sound that plays in my head when I see it pop up.

I would call it:
C-Me as in (See-Me)

States the purpose..

It should be called BERRi, and come in a variety of colors to match the phones that come in a variety of colors to say, hey, BB isn't just about business anymore. Security is on the forefront but so is fun. Get to know BERRi; The Blackberry Energetic Rapid Response Indicator!

I made the i lowercase at the end for three reasons, to psuedo mock apple, and to show that I know how to spell and that it isn't an L, and to draw attention away from the normal spelling with the letter Y. Will Rim use a word that isn't real to promote their business, probably not.

Quick, easy, makes sense with what RIM already has going for them, and hard to forget.

whenever a company introduces a mascot or something prior to starting out, it rarely catches on, so sticking with something that they are already about (berry) works better here

BAM! If that isn't a winner, then you people don't deserve to use the internetz

It should be called Crack! Because it is addicting and looks like a crack!

ElderTechTutor

Winters, Florida

Blackberry Kiss or Blackberry Pucker

...for our German viewers.... Blachtung!

What about the Blinger (Blackberry Finger)

Starkiss (not to be confused with Starkist canned tuna)

Doostar (like in a star that does)

Jumpstar (like jump-starting something into action)

... so many possibilities... oh my!

ElderTechTutor

How bout a zit. Since its red with something white in the middle....lol. And when you open it its like you pop it and it goes away lol. Cool.

I'd call it "Icon"

Imagine a conversation when you explain to someone "Wait, I just got a BB Icon, let me see what it is..." No real explanation needed for them after that

The symbol should just be called Action. Then you would have BBM Action, Mail Action, SMS Action, Facebook Action, etc.

Action would be a noun or a verb. You would have "Take Action" but as it catches on, would become "actioning" and "action it."

If the marketing department could take hold of this, they could advertise it in many places where the term will catch on. First, they need to get it out there with a significant marketing blitz. Then:

In action films, they can sponsor the film. Call it an "* (Action) film."

On sports teams, they can place the star on helmets and jerseys. Sponsor a race car and call it an "* (Action) car." Also, "The team is in * (Action) tonight."

In music, an action is a characteristic of a stringed instrument. Put a star on a guitar.

In video games, you have an "* (Action) game"

In nightclubs and large venues and events, "The * (Action) tomorrow night is at X." At the venue or event, "The * (Action) is here."

Other smartphone and tablet vendors want "a piece of the * (Action)."

"Bored with your phone? Can't get your work done efficiently? Take * (Action)"

"* (Action). It starts here." "The * (Action) is here."

Eventually, you will have people tattooing their groin with a star because they want Action. That would make a good commercial.

RIM's marketing department needs to get onto this because this is an ingenious marketing campaign. Before they do, I expect them to contact me as these are some of my ideas but not all of them. And not even the best ones.

* of course, the asterisk denotes the star, the Action symbol.

I would call it BlackBerry Tap. I see it as kind of a tap on the shoulder to get your attention. The name could include the whole of the notification system instead of just the icon. This would also differentiate the system in name from the others. It also plays into BB10 with "Peek" in that I peek over my shoulder to see who is tapping me. BB is partially a social atmosphere with BBM and this name would play into that.

It may already be in the comments somewhere but I thought I would throw my take on it in here as well

My money is on the "Blackberry Burst"

BiP : Blackberry incoming Pings/Push messages.

"Blackberry Boom/Bang Notification"
-startled and surprised with an unexpected notification.. :))

Something UNUSUAL BB10

BlackBerry NotiStar (Notification Star)
If someone mentioned it above and then I second it.

BlackBerry Boink! or just Boink!

Blackberry Nugget...
Hot dot...
Trouble bubble.

Also the BB Zoom.

How about "RedBerry" or "DingleBerry"??

I really like "DingleBerry". Everytime time my phone dings, there's a red notification. This could be a fun Twitter campaign. #DingleBerry

RIMs-Pegasus-2012
arising from the ashes with a new song

try the BINK

Blackberry Inc

as in : "Incoming !!!!" (duck, take action...do it now)

plays off the Blackberry Instant Notification above adding Key

B.I.N.K.

as in: open the door to a new update

when the LED flashes...someone is "Binking me"

you mean blinking don't you? no ... BINK'ng me

unique lingo...

iDot

I haven't read through all the previous posts. (So, I am not conscientiously stealing someone's idea.) But I'd call it the PentaBerry.

How about the BlackBerry Blossom (feminine) or the BlackBerry Blast or finally the BlackBerry Blink or Burst!

*************BlackBerry Twinkle************

Red Blur
BBNoti - as in BlackBerry Notification
BAlert

How about The symbol formally known as Splat.

- stardo
- donow
- do-b
- blackstar
- red star
- star - o
- blink blink :D

How about one of the following:

ACT - Attention Coming Transmission
NOTE - Notifying On Time, Everytime
NOW - Notifying Our World

I didn't read all prior comments. My apologies, if someone already suggested something similar.

it should be called NAM, simple

How about the BlackBerry POP?

Power Of Push notification. That is what BB is made of.

BlackBerry: Its what we are made of.

Call it the Lert.....wish I could be a Lert....:D

How about fast start oo rápido star

It's called a "rubus"

Or if you like, the full name is "rubus urgens"

Trust me. Google it if you don't believe me.

Okay for you lazy ones:
1) It sounds cool
2) Genus rubus family members include blackberry bushes

BAI - BlackBerry alert icon

Call it Al....
As in the boys name, but also short for "alert".

It's an alert, nothing more, nothing less...

Naming it makes it personal and it sounds nice and catchy. Good to market: "There's BlackBerry Al....!" or "Al's here....!"

"BB Al..." is also easy for the users I think.

The Blackberry Spark

I call it the (Berry button )

BlackBerry PLING!!!
or just BlackBerry Blink !

The BlackBerry "Stain"

BlackBerrys are BlackBerrys because they look like blackberries. The notification is like the juice, the info, and messages that comes from your BlackBerry, metaphorically and actually it stains your device letting you know there is something new. And when you see it, you clean/clear the new "stain"/notification. And when you clean a stain it usually doesn't completely go away. There is still the left over part of the stain/info that is still there. "The BlackBerry Stain."

Quiche - I just like the word. Couple quiches in the tray

octopus?

or chicken frank tip

actsterix

I'd like to suggest the STARt symbol, (as in Start Here), or the PingStar.

"Oh, I've got a PingStar, just a sec."
"Just give me a minute to check my STARts"

...what need is a new phone... :-)

What about Blackberry Nectar!!!

Do-dot
Red eye
Blinx
Dingleberry
Splat
Jibbit
Strix
Pip
Splonk
Noti
Blip
Pucker

Many have been said, credit to those I just liked 'em. If any were unsaid then those are mine otherwise my favorite and vote goes to "do-dot"

I would also suggest "PinGo"
...as in Ping-Go and Bingo!

...wait, I just got a PinGo...

How about "BOOMZ!"
BOOMZ sounds epic enough to take notice!! :D

I've always called it the DOT but after reading some of these post, I kinda like the burst too. Or the spot is nice too.

you just always think in english ? I found japanese a great and soft language when your hear it...

maybe we can think of :

- hoshi (meaning asterisk, or star symbol)

- Sei (meaning starry, reference to the star)

- or maybe if we are allowed - we do all remember "Seiya" (approximately meaning "shooting star" falling in your Blackberry)

I would call it "Knock"... Like you get a Knock on your door and you actually need to open the door to see who it is... Similarly you need to open up your text or email to find what it is when you get a Knock...

Lot of symbols LoL

Blackberry Lover

1- Action or Action Splat
2- G.I.D. - like time to get **it done
3- BlackStar - yea idk maybe scratch that one
4- ?
5- Jam
6- idk i call it the asterisk or notification but i wanna win something cool

Call it Ping, everytime the blackberry pings, this pops up there. So call it "Ping". =)

Red-boall

The Quark because it is the fundamental of our Blackberry addiction :) lol

or

The Pat = Patrick = Patrick the Starfish :)

A Dot.........like me ^_^

Here's another simple one, "BlackBerry Nod". Meaning signal or sign of agreement. BlackBerry don't need to be cluttered it has be as simple and bold. Ps. BlackBerry Node is anothe one. :-)

I call it "Sir Forrest Gump" because i never know what i get until i open it.

A Sonic!

We can even have it stand for something: a System Of Notifying Instant Communication!

8100-->8830-->9670-->9930=PlayBook

Death Star? no, just me. The RIMpire need it's Death Star.

how about callin it bling.....as in every time u get a msg or i ping..ur phone lights up..its got a bling..;),...so i think the BB BLING!! =)

or also the bb TING!!...EVERYTIME THE PHONE GOES PING,,,UR LIGHT LIGHTS UP TING!!,.,,,,ITS THE SOUND FOR A LIGHTBULD..MEANING A NEW IDEA OR NEW INFORMATION....N FOR US BBMers EVERY MESSAGE COUNTS!!! EVERY ACTION COUNTS..THE BBM TING!!

this is easy the Blackberry

my ding-a-ling , as in in my ding-a-ling has come up , i must do something ... lol ... always made me laugh , thanks Chuck

Blackberry Spark - because its like looking at a star in the sky and it sparkles.

''Notify'' is a good name for it:)

redcherry from blackberry

Its the "Action" icon already... so it does have a name, I agree that with the post about "action" being a great choice for marketing!

Take Action!

The BlackBerry Blip!

It rolls off the tongue and I could see someone making a catchy theme song out of it.

I call it the BlackBerry Alert! Okay, it's not sexy or anything, but it works for me and folks I talk to.

BlackBerry Seed

Well we just call it the (BlackBerry) Star. Simple, straight forward, and since it looks like an asterisk with an emphasis halo behind it, it stays true to form. Also allows for versatility in marketing campaigns.

I would call it the excitamasion!

Hola

G-Spot!
Finally everyone can find it!!

*B Alert

Notificon :)

Alternatively, it could called the QuiQ or Quik or Kwik

The BlackBerry Archon!

Flash.. Blackberry Flash

like in Bond.. James Bond.. :)

or because it's flashy..

BB Bolt

How about just simple "BlackBerry Alert"? No sense in over thinking it.

How bout The RED DEVIL

Obviously it's the "Pin"

why not just call it the "BlackBerry mark".

Leave your "mark", BlackBerry
Leave your "mark" with BlackBerry

The Red Star of Waterloo - RSW.

Corny, I know, but we're putting everything out on the table nowadays.

How about BB BAM - BlackBerry Action Message - BAM is powerful, brings you to action and you know you have some kind of Message/Notification. Cant help but think of Bam-Bam from the Flinstone's of the 70's...

Its the Blackberry Check Star people! No other name fits , its a blackberry original and it should be named in accordance besides it tells you to check your messages , mail ,text, bbm whatever and its the skeleton of a star! so its the blackberry check star!!! I win! I win! Give me my damm prize! Tnank you!!

Action has a symbol, it should be called...wait for it, "the Action Symbol" or simply Action.

I was surprised it took so many replies to this thread before I saw someone suggest Action, so I'll +1 it here.

I also really like the "Noti" name, or "Action Noti", and since it really is the "action required notification symbol", it makes sense that people might use this as a slang term anyway, no matter what the "official" name is.

The Blackberry "bloop". Thats the sound I can imagine hearing when I have updates or such........bloop

I like spark, but its blackberry so let's call it b-spark!

Jesus!. Cause every time you get the sign you're like Jesus!! who is it now? Or Jesus! what does my boss want now!! Just don't go short into Jeez ! Thats all i'm saying.....

I had to repost my Blackberry Check Star because i searched top to bottom and found nothing that actually describes what it is realistically and what it is telling you , also where it belongs ie Blackberry, who owns it and where it belongs, Check, what it tells you to do and Star what it is. So when BB10 is being launched and you hear the words" When you see the Blackberry Check Star appear next to an application icon you instanly want to jump and open that app because BB10 is helping you get things done"!!

Should be called the DOT

An excio:
- latin, verb: to summon, call forth, awake, rouse, awaken, stir

how about calling it: spiak!

How about the "Acticon", since we have emoticons. Just a little twist for an old icon.

Red Dot Click

Bark!
Nanny
Touche

Actioner.

How about the " SNew" meaning Something new. Usually when we see this symbol something new is there

Pronounced SNOO.

call it "action".

BBStar

Keep it simple: BlackBerry Action or, the "Action" symbol.

"2it" as in "to it"

BlackBerry "Biz-y"....so many ways to use it

I just got "Biz-y",
Never too "Biz-y"",
Are you "Biz-y",
TCB.....Taking care of "Biz-y-ness"

ba-bam!

I like "E-Motion" con - evoke Motion a form of action

Therefore, call it the BlackBerry Motion™ - an official trademark of Research in Motion

ATL Michael

Make it simple.

BlackBerry BANG!

How about TopoN? (spelled Top on, similar to log on) BlackBerry, always on and always at the top. The notification is always at the top on the folder. and who puts off the device when you see this symbol?

Pon also means this: Pon, a command to start up the Point-to-Point Protocol daemon connection (it's unix based OS).

Also this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pon

Our friends in Singapore (in Singlish) will skip an activity to look at their 'berries with this symbol.

Pon de river: flowing upstream (in Jamaican)
Pon also means pwn: meaning to own somebody/something, or dominate. Gamers will like this. :D
PON: it also means Property Owner Notification as per US government.

TopoN! it also has a positive ring to it.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 | BlackBerry Torch 9810 |
