hahaha - well, I nearly titled my post "Good Vibrations" but I figured I would never live that one down.

When I was a kid my dad had this aqua blue 1964 Rambler. With him still being quite young himself and handy with anything, he souped up the speaker system. I can remember sitting in the back of that car and the back seat just jumping in time with the bass the last few seconds of that song. I think I was about 3 at the time and used to just wait for that song to come on because I thought it was great fun.

When I first started carrying a BlackBerry years ago, I had a colleague warn me about "phantom vibrations" - swearing your phone was vibrating when it wasn't, "feeling" it vibrate when it wasn't even in the holster, etc. I thought my colleague was nuts - and then darn it if I didn't have the experience myself. I would imagine the same malady would affect those with iPhones set on vibrate all the time as well.

These phantom vibrations have kept up over the years and fast forward to yesterday when I was officially celebrating my second day of CHL ownership by concealed grocery shopping. I had the BlackBerry on one side, XD on the other.
Darn it if the XD isn't in cahoots with the BlackBerry and picked up on the "phantom vibrations". Now I am patting down both sides of my waist to see whether the phone is ringing or have an incoming message!

Anyone else experience this or am I the only crazy one in the bunch??
