From the “Annals of Exquisitely Poor Timing Dept.”: We received this beautifully color-coordinated and branded USB cable from Sprint/Nextel the other day with a promotional offer to get the latest Sprint-enabled Blackberry.

Guess which day this arrived in the mail? (More stories on the Blackberry service outage…)

Can you imagine the emotional stress level in Sprint/Nextel’s direct marketing team’s office that day?
