So, I wore my blackberry on my left hip for years, and always had it set to vibrate on a new email. Now, I don't carry a phone during the day, as I am at a terminal when I am working.

But, I still feel my phone vibrate all the time even though im not wearing it. It has the same rythm, 3 spells of about 3/4 a second each.

Anyone else have something similar? It's kinda weird ing me out.

I get it occasionally. I usually carry my phone in my pocket. Several times I will feel it vibrate on my leg then look to see it not even in my pocket.

Yep. And it's very weird. It lasted for several months after I quit wearing my phone on my belt but it finally did go away. Now I keep my phone in the thigh pocket in my cargo/tactical pants and strangely enough it never happens.

Yes. I hate it!

Yes! I feel my phone vibrate in my left pocket thigh area and reach down and my phone isn't there. I could never figure it out...was my thigh twitching? Was my brain imagining it? I don't know, but definitely real for me.

Glad to know I'm not alone.

Thanks for the replies.

One of those odd things I just left unsaid. Glad I'm not the only one.

Count another one in. It weird me out

Yes. Seems more common if I am expecting /waiting on something important.

What really freaks me out is when I feel the sensation, and then my cell phone, on the charger across the room, rings or DL's an email.

99% sure it is just a coincidence, but still uncomfortable to think my nervous system might possibly be reacting to radio waves or the like.

Happens to me, seems to be more prevalent when I'm walking wearing pants that are a little more loose. I also hear it ring when I'm in loud environments, like on an older tractor or something. I remember once when I was in middle school, back when cell phones were starting to get pretty wide spread and a lot smaller, think it was one of the Nokia phones that was so popular, I was working on a farm for a guy from church and I would borrow my moms cell phone so the farmer could call me. I was on an open cab tractor and I had the phone on a lanyard hanging next to me but I couldn't see the screen. I still swear to this day that I heard that phone ring at least 10 different times. I kept grabbing and looking at it but it wasn't ringing. Then when I finally convinced my self not to look when I heard it "ring" again I missed a call. Craziness.

I'm just glad more people are using the vibrate setting.
