I usually change it to something dumb, like "Sent from my iPhone on the Sprint Now Network" or something similar.

 
 
Posted by thehairlesscat Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I don't change it because I love Blackberry and it's a sneaky way to brag about it.

I love the "Sent from my Blackberry" signature. I dunno why - I just do!

Peace....

Well I don't either, but just so people know I am not at the computer.

Maybe we should add Sent from My computer to emails we don't send from the BlackBerries? :p

 
 
Posted by tkwolf Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

and that is exactly why i kept the signature! so folks would know that im not on the computer

 
 
Posted by jcagg1271 Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

exactly why I leave it as well! I want people to know if I take the time to respond to them on my own time.

Just simply:

-
Corinne M.

That's me.

(Without the "That's me.")

I hate the signature. I even go so far as to change it on my friends phones without them knowing. The only thing that it's good for is it allows the excuse for typos.

I kept the "sent from my blackberry" but then add my usual work signature. fools people all the time. "What are you doing at work at 11:30pm?"

 
 
Posted by noTh1ng Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

The standard one on t-mobile germany 'sent with my blackberry with t-mobile webmail'.. i always hated that...

 
 
Posted by debo7debo Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I actually, customized each email to have a signature. My personal email is really simple just one line with my name. My business emails are with the name, position, company, number, email & website.

Am I the only that does that?

 
 
Posted by mkye86 Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I have mine personalized. But still lets people know its sent from my BB..

 
 
Posted by Restless Soul Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

yeah I changed it, I have 4 emails configured and each one of em has a diff signature, some ones are: "sent from my light saber" or "sent from a galaxy far far far far away" the other ones are more corporate but no "blackberry" mentions whatsoever

 
 
Posted by LIChevyMetsGrrl Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I got bored with it and on a whim decided to change it to "The be sent from my 'Berry yo". It makes my friends and family laugh when they read it.

 
 
Posted by glasscocked Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I leave the blackberry signature cause it shows my employees that they are getting a hold of me, and getting quick responses, no matter where i am

 
 
Posted by Restless Soul Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

Yup, so true... "why havent you replied at me? you have a blackberry, you must've seen it".

 
 
Posted by tidebuzz Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

Personally, I hate the "Sent from my X" signatures. It comes off as pretentious. I honestly don't care if you sent me an email from your BlackBerry or iPad.

 
 
Posted by CeluGeek Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

Well, "Sent from my BlackBerry" can carry many meetings. "Hey, look at me, I'm a BlackBerry fanboy!" is just one of the many meanings. There are practical reasons to keep such a signature. A few examples:

1. "If you send me a zip file with an EXE or DLL to test, don't expect immediate response because I'm not at my computer.

2. "If you see weird typos or misspellings, it's not that I've turned dumb, but rather that I'm typing on a cramped tiny keyboard."

3. "That Word doc attachement I just sent you might have quirky formatting issues, as I did not edit it in Word, but in QuickOffice / Documents To Go / somethiing else."

4. "If you need to talk to me, call my mobile number, not my office or home number."

I'm sure others will find other practical uses. :)

Mine stays with the sent from BlackBerry. I am proud to own the phone and to use it for e-mail. No harm in advertising that fact to as many as possible.

 
 
Posted by kazmi Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I have my work ones to match exactly the Outlook ones, so that way, people from work can't tell where I'm responding from.

My personal emails I have left the "sent from my blackberry" since I don't mind my friends and family knowing that I'm out and about.

 
 
Posted by sbuchfield Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

Same here, I match my Outlook so nobody knows where I'm working from. They don't need to know if I'm in the office, at the airport or on the course, they should just be happy I'm responding. Had to adjust my Outlook signature since the fonts etc were limited on the blackberry.

Didn't those fruits from Crapple start this inanity?

Why waste the smidgeon of bandwidth? Why waste the time of your recipient? Why discuss it?

Y'all seem really bored and reaching at Crackburgh lately. Hire an editor or something.... sheesh.

Chill out bro - still funny though!

 
 
Posted by Dim-Ize Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I usually delete the device name I carry.

I use:

My Name
my mobile number
___________________
sent from mobile device

 
 
Posted by hjmargarido Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

i always costumize my signature, but always with blackberry in mention like: henry@blackberry

 
 
Posted by filmsnob Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I use the Gmail app, which gives a choice of "Sent from my mobile device." or no signature at all.

 
 
Posted by rst53 Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

A friend of mine has the last name of "Straub"........and noticed that on his email signature that it said "Sent from my Verizon Wireless StrauBerry". Thought that was cute! LOL

 
 
Posted by the brother Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I heard a guy at our office was let go for modifying his tag line to this:

"This message was ciphered using Blackberry technology (tiny screen, tiny keyboard, big thumbs) The sender cannot be held responsible for recipient’s lack of a deciphering technology."

or sum such crap.

 
 
Posted by sdreelin Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

Tish...changed mine to keep my users guessing whether I'm in the building or out! Best part of a Blackberry is I can be mobile and still work!

 
 
Posted by Accio_BBandCoffee Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I do both. Work email I change to match the signature that I have in Outlook. I like the "Sent from my BlackBerry" signature so I keep it for my personal accounts.

 
 
Posted by Nesquik Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

Leaving the default "Sent from my BlackBerry" seems kind of tacky from my point of view -- so i keep it simple and write my name there.

 
 
Posted by swiedom Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

i added "storm" to the end of mine.

"Sent from my BlackBerry Storm"

 
 
Posted by joeldf Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I didn't know the default signature changed. It used to be (back when I got my first BB, the Pearl 8100) "Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T".

I changed it to "Sent from my BlackBerry" a long time ago and it's still that way to this day. For my work email, I match our office standard signature but add the same "Sent from my BlackBerry" tag after it. It doesn't matter if it's different from what is sent out of the office, because the BB can't match the custom font formatting we use anyway. It already looks more generic coming from the phones.

 
 
Posted by shift2112 Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I love the Blackberry Signature. I changed mine slightly to read:

Brought to you Via My TorchBerry

I think it adds a bit of prioritization to the sender. If you received a response with that Tag at the bottom...you were, or your Email was, important enough to me to respond right away from wherever I was and for me to stop whatever I was doing to respond instead of waiting until I review my messages on my PC/MAC. at home or office.
Consider yourselves important when you see a BlackBerry Tagged signature!

 
 
Posted by shift2112 Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

Although, nowadays it should probably read:

Sent to you By My Ridiculously Overpriced Data Plan for my BlackBerry!

 
 
Posted by sorozco Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I like peopke to know that I'm responding from my fabulous BlackBerry which could explain typos at times and the speedy reponse that you NEVER get from other phones!!

Darned if I'll give VZW free advertising.

Posted by Gamesdmc3 Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

half to keep it on,to let them know that im using the best mobile email service

 
 
Posted by Kelton Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I have customized it only slighly (removing the word "verizon"). I answer many emails on the blackberry and want the reader to know why typos might be there.

The same typos, sent from a computer, would be REAL embarrassing. From a phone, not at all....and they appreciate the quick reply, too!

Typos are THE reason to let the signature reveal the source.

 
 
Posted by mountainman Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I put "Sent from my Verizon Wireless Crackberry"

 
 
Posted by jsmith915 Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

As i was finally changing my work email signature to include a confidentiality notice i saw this poll come up and laughed

 
 
Posted by ak_hermit Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

I was using "Sent from my Crackberry" for a while, until the boss noticed it, didn't seem to like it!

 
 
Posted by casper663 Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 413 days ago

mine say "sent from the worlds best smartphone"

 
 
Posted by JNM Friday, Apr 08, 2011 413 days ago

The annoying issue where the signature showed up at the very end of a string of email replies made it somewhat useless but I used it...

 
 
Posted by bensonjunior Friday, Apr 08, 2011 413 days ago

I changed mine to:
"Sent from an amazing text and email device that can be used as a phone in an emergency"

 
 
Posted by bobdobbins Friday, Apr 08, 2011 413 days ago

I have a handful of auto-correct signatures I use so I can have more signatures to choose from on the fly. Citing all examples of pros/cons and preferences I like it best when I can choose for every email. Just make signatures in auto-correct dictionary that replace typing of s1, s2, etc.

 
 
Posted by Cafeina Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

+1
I cleared all of my email signatures to blank. I use Auto Text whenever I want to add a signature to my emails. This is very useful when going back and forth with replies to the same email. (It can get pretty annoying seeing a signature 10 times in the same email.) The only email address where I have left the default signature is my "@att.blackberry.net" address, since I only use that one when I WANT people to know I'm on my Berry.

 
 
Posted by lak611 Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

My signature reads, "Sent via the AT&T carrier pigeon using my BlackBerry".

 
 
Posted by Maiev Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

I went to the apple store and changed their signature on the ipad to "Sent from my BlackBerry" :P

 
 
Posted by JammieDodger Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

I've added my own email signature and I've edited it to read "Sent from my Blackberry Torch 9800; the world's best smartphone."

 
 
Posted by Thumbless Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

Changed the sig for work email to match the one that comes from my computer and changed my home email sig to blank.

 
 
Posted by CaliCat Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

I used to keep the "Sent from my BlackBerry" (deleting the carrier advertising) on my personal email account/personal CrackBerry, but now that I only carry a work-issued 'Berry, my company has removed the signature by default and doesn't want it on there.

 
 
Posted by PacFu Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

I change it to have my name, yet I still keep the "Sent from my BlackBerry" tag, it give me an out for possible bad punctuation and grammar ;-)

 
 
Posted by The Consigliere Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

I change mine

For my Gmail it's
My name
Sent from my BOLD 9700

but I got a little more creative for my Blackberry email account it's
My Name
Sent from my BOLD 9700. "A woman is a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke."

 
 
Posted by deanodean Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

I turned OFF the auto signature and use AutoText or Word Substitution to insert the siggy I want to use. Obviously shorter for business text messages, full signature with tag line in email. People don't need to know if it's from my BlackBerry or my desktop. I DON'T like saying sent from my BlackBerry Torch or PlayBook. I also won't advertise for my carrier without a marketing fee--which they won't pay... Happy weekend all! DeanoDean

 
 
Posted by MikeGomez Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

Just my work email signature is change.
For my personal email I just add my name and leave sent from my blackberry and delete the network.

Today i will change it for crackberry instead of blackberry jajajajaja

 
 
Posted by MBinNM Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

I changed the default signature to "Sent from my BlackBerry iStorm".

 
 
Posted by wonda242 Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

Sent from my Blackberry Nukka!

 
 
Posted by CeluGeek Friday, Apr 08, 2011 412 days ago

Hmm, the default signature was:
"Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile."

So I definitely had to change it, as T-Mobile wasn't going to get free advertising on me.
"____________________
Enviado desde my BlackBerry.
Sent from my BlackBerry."

 
 
Posted by tcannizzo Sunday, Apr 10, 2011 410 days ago

As others have written, "Sent from mobile device, please pardon brevity and typos"
