I've been carrying my BlackBerry Pearl to IBD interviews and usually just laying it out on the table with the interviewer. Sometimes I go play with it while I'm in the waiting lounge (usually games of Brick Breaker).
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on which BlackBerry is the best one to carry to your interviews? I don't think the Pearl gives off a good image. I want one that makes the interviewer think "wow, this guy belongs in IBD, look at his BlackBerry".

Just to add to that, what case for your blackberry do you think would be most effective in convincing interviewers that you are IBD material?
I don't think cases are very professional. I was thinking of wearing a bluetooth headset to my interview though, anyone have any suggestions on which one of these looks the most IBD?
not funny and getting very old.
and if you wear one in both ears do you think that would affect you negatively?
No I think that just shows youre big man on campus and have a lot of duties to take care of.
I just slap my dong out on the table to verify I'm a BSD.
I usually wear my grill custom designed by Paul Wall to show just how classy I am.
get a life seriously
While this a joke, it's stupid and not funny.
