Well, the word "Handy" is a special thing :
It
sounds perfectly English for German ears, but we (here in Germany) cannot really tell it's origins.
Some people say that this word is - although it sounds English - genuine German, and this is the view I support, too, because the actual English word for that device is so totally different (wasn't it "cellular phone" ?).
One rumor says that the word comes from the thing called "Handy" lying / fitting very good in one's hand = Hand (English word identical to German word), because it's so small.
By the way, when do we get our Dutch lesons ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
