Email On Steroids
Whoever invented the Blackberry is definitely a genius. In the fast paced world that we live in, I can't imagine anything better than the BlackBerry. It's no wonder Barack Obama refused to let go of the device when he became president.
And if you have several email addresses, then the Blackberry is for you. If you want to do some real time facebooking, you got it. Real time tweets, no problemo. Stock market quotes, there you go.
The only thing that could rival the blackberry is possibly the iPhone. And that is because Apple opened up to developers and used the Mac network to reach out to an already loyal base.
The down side of the Blackberry is that you have to pay for the data plan. It's not that expensive but I'd hate to think that I will be paying at least $20 per month for the rest of my life to keep the device running.
On the down side, I am yet to find a good Blackberry holster. I've had 2 holsters so far because the clip is not sturdy and easily breaks. After the first one broke, I went to the engineering shop at work and had them remove the broken clip and re fix it to use the leather bit. I bought a replacement, and it didn't last as long as the first one. And now I have a second modified holster. Because of the magnetic sensor in the holster, I can't buy a generic holster for the phone.
That said, if any knows where I can get a good holster, kindly let me know through the comment section.

My friend is using blackberry. After i read your post, i went to her to try her blackberry. Cool...
Had a blackberry since last year sept. It was such a deadly thing to have until it became intrusive, all day and night.It got to me!"luckily" the scroll button got messed and now am back to my old phone.I feel free!trust me, we have to learn to balance work and play.BB is all work.
Amerucan,
I agree with you 100%
I imagine the BlackBerry is insanley useful to folks who need to be online a lot. Me, I didn't want to part with more money to access emails which I could at work/school/home, so unsubscribed to the service/disabled email from BlackBerry.
Said BlackBerry screen went black this past week, so I'm back to a very cheap phone for voice and text messaging.
The BB service is great for workaholics but the phone I like is the Treo range. Treos are easier to use & more versatile...
Willie, BB is certainly cool.
Amerucan, I've had to replace my scroll button and may do so again cause it has started acting up again.
PKW, BB is not a robust phone. I find it a little too weak.
CT, I never tried a treo. It is too American for me. Like Motorolla.
