Another description would be a square device that is slightly bigger
than a
cell phone that has cell phone like keys and many more rubber
buttons (if
you have the icon).

Hi,
A PDA without a screen makes sense.
Also, giving a guess about the size might help and that there is a
large
phone number pad on it with a remote control like up/down left/right
arrow
key.
Did yours not come with the shoulder strap?
That would be a drag if someone walked off with it thinking it was
cool
looking.
Good luck,
Richard

Subject: [icon-discuss] Description of Icon
Is there anything on an Icon that identifies it as such? Also, if
you had to describe it to someone sighted in 5 words or less, how
would you
manage it? Despite all my best intensions mine disappeared last
night and
I've been trying to ask around about it...no one's seen it and I'm
worried I
might be describing it wrong. Is "PDA without a screen" a reasonable
description or should I take a different tack? And some advice as a
result
of this:
1) Back up daily. You never know when you might need a contact and
can't
get to your icon (e.g. dead battery or disappearance.)
2) Identify the Icon as yours; put a label somewhere in/on the case
with
contact info etc.
I swear if I do find the thing I'm making a neck rope for it...too
much of
my life is in that thing.
Terrence
