As reported on PCSTATS, Research in Motion (RIM) engineer Matthias Wendel designed a Lego Machine to test their Blackberry Pagers.  The machine rotates the pager about two axes in a pre-programmed manner allowing the engineer to systematically test the reception of the 900 MHz wireless device in the environment.

This is an excellent example of how LEGO machines can be used to solve real engineering problems on the cheap!
