Finally! There’s now a term for those fake blinking lights and not-there vibrations from your third leg, your Blackberry.

Cubelifers worldwide are gradually awakening to a new Blackberry phenomenon — “ringxiety” or “fauxcellarm” — a condition where people feel that they’ve received a buzz or a blinking light when they haven’t, reports CNNMoney. This behavior also includes adjusting your position as if your BB is on your body, but not, also well as phones having “lil’ buddies” (where they call other phones without authorization).

I mean, it almost seems like anybody who’s somebody has felt these. Says one in the finance industry:

“‘Of course I get them,’ said Fred Wilson, a managing partner of Union Square Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm based in New York. ‘I’ve been getting them for over 10 years since I started with the pager-style BlackBerry.’” [emphasis added]

Some are getting downright mystical about their communion with the Blackberry. Describes Capitol Hiller Jack Ward,

“[Ward] also claims to ‘pre-feel’ a new message or call. ‘I’ll feel it, look at it. It’s not vibrating. Then it starts vibrating,’ he said. ‘I am one with my BlackBerry.’”

These beliefs probably explain a lot of compulsive Blackberry-checking, but there is still that contingent that just checks their BB compulsively and doesn’t feel/anticipate/etc buzzes. We’ve made up a term for those people — EDD — email deficit disorder.
