I've never heard of Graffiti-related RSI's

Apparently, Blackberry devices can cause repetitive stress injuries.

Blackberry RSI = 16,900 hits on Google.
Blackberry RIM RSI = 1,710 hits on Google.
Graffiti RSI = 20,800 hits on Google.
Graffiti Palm RSI = 843 hits on Google.

I think this clearly demonstrates that graffiti is a more common word than blackberry, at least among web authors.

I 100% believe that handhelds, whatever brand, can cause RSIs.

Within weeks of starting work at AOL, I developed serious thumb RSIs, esp in my right hand, but to some extent in both hands. PT brought them back to a managable level, but my thumb joints are still sensitive.

A month or so ago, my new employer gave me a Treo 650. The first time I typed on it 'as designed,' I knew it was bad news. I now only poke at it with my index finger.
