I leave my 8100 at my computer desk downstairs charging everynight. I too am one that is totally wireless but I get a lot of those midnight to do calls and dont need them. My wife has the phone on the nightstand for family calls, emergencies, etc. It is a Razr though. She is not into the big gadget phones.

Yep, mine goes on the nightstand... I'm on call pretty much all the time, so I can't turn it off or put it on silent.

Default Nightstand . . .

Between the NMS paging and the internal paging through the BES, ~40 pages on a good night says it stays close.

On the nightstand charging but on. The curse of being on-call 24/7...

My wife more than once thought about feeding it to our dog when it goes off because of work.

My wife was actually accumstomed to sleeping through the Motorola Two-Way pager beeps . The BlackBerry gets 3 vibes and then a ring, usually I wake up by second vibrate to hit the mute button and come to my senses .

Turned off every night and I'm obsessive about charging it, even if it doesn't need it. Kind of like gas... anything below half a tank makes me all twitchy and nervous.

I'm on my own so there's no girlfriend to complaint of not receiving enough attention...Ixxx8217;ll post some nice pics (later) of my bberry between my powerbook and my laptop.(they're great mates)

In the kitchen charging unless I have to get up really early, then it will be in arm's reach on the nitestand. On the road I love the blink of charging in hotels!
