Mystery Blackberry Icon
I can't remember if this was resolved or not, but I have just had thesame icon appear on my (work) Blackberry, and after unlocking it, it
prompted me as to whether I wished to connect to a known wifi hotspot.

I clicked on 'yes', and the icon disappeared.
So it must mean that a known wireless network is available to connect
to.

Way back a few years ago when I job-hunted the UK agency market seemed
to have finally realised that CVs on the web was the way to go so most
were quite happy with either a URL or a CV in HTML.
