It’s true what they say: Little kids love the BlackBerry. Imagine the message you’re sending to your kids by having your own big boy BlackBerry glued to your face all the time. They want to be like mommy and daddy and mommy and daddy have two kids and two BlackBerry devices, which equals a family of six. Naturally, your little ones want their own QWERTY-enhanced handhelds. David Carnoy at CNet says that this product is “sure to be known in the blogosphere [as the] ‘baby BlackBerry’.”

You can’t make up a nickname for something and then say that all the other bloggers will surely call it the same thing, Carnoy! Why don’t I just give myself an awesome nickname like “Lovecrusher” or “Dr. Blogswell” or “The Pants Man” while we’re at it? Unfortunately, he’s probably right about this one as “Baby BlackBerry” is pretty fitting. Still, as a matter of principle, I’ll hereby refer to it as the “KidZ Rule! Extreme Self-Texting Apparatus,” or KRESTA.

Well, it looks like the BlackBerry faithful have come out in full force to snag "Verizon's best-selling device," after all. Despite RIM's nightmarish "new reality," of half-baked firmware and broken dreams, Verizon has made it known that the latest 'Berry has grown to a full 1 million units sold between the November 21st launch and the end of January. Apparently the ever-leaking updates have kept enough people satisfied with the keyboardless device to reach this milestone, so we'll just keep our fingers crossed that the updates don't stop flowing and this powerhouse becomes the titan it has the potential to become.
