The whole idea of expressing telephone numbers as a word has never
really worked for me. It seems to be something that has only ever
really caught on in the USA. I find it much easier to read a series of
digits when dialling a number rather than fumble around finding which
button corresponds to each letter of the word.

It might be easier to type a series of digits, but it's probably easier
to remember a word, particularly if it directly relates to the company
it relates too.

Of course, once it's added to the phone book, it's not so necessary.

I have a Blackberry (Pearl 8210).

That keyboard does not have the same letter to number assignments as a
normal phone keypad, so if I'm given a word to dial it's not going to
work ... (unless there is a workaround?)
