… of the Crackberry.
While I don’t expect to be a 24×7 office e-mail junkie (I trust Margie to whomp me over the head with a mallet if I do), there are enough times when I should be in touch when I’m not that it’s beginning to irk.
Biggest concern at the moment is what I’ll lose from my Treo 650 — and from my decade-long (or close to it) symbiosis with the Palm platform. I’ve already charted out the software I really use on my Treo and will be comparing to the feature set on Crackberry models the company supports.
Meanwhile — aside from that whole “e-mail addict” thing — anyone have some contemporary experience with Blackberries such as could offer some advice? (I used one several years ago and found it the Worst PIM Ever, but I suspect it’s improved some since then.)
Ya know…
Batteries can be removed…. ;P
One of the Engineers at the Flats always managed to have his Pager die as soon as he left the site, it was the oddest thing.
Crazy Texas Boss #1 would get into a right snit about it, and started to hand him fresh batteries everyday for the Pager. The thing that CTB #1 did not know was that the Engineer kept a collection of dead AA’s in his desk and in his car and would swap them out evey day as soon as he left the building.
So, there another Tale from the wacky world of the Flats.
But if you get too out of hand, I am sure that MK will come up with a way to take care of it….maybe somrthing like Kittens “Fun Points” chart by the Garage. ;P
And I think Kate is a Crackberry user.
I’m a BlackBerry user, but I don’t know if I can answer any questions you might have. I mainly use it to read your blog when I’m supposed to be working.
Sounds like a *great* use for it! I should talk with RIM about making my blog a standard entry in the Blackberry browser … “See, it comes with customer testamonials!”
Been using one for three years and love it. My calendar, contacts, to-do list and notes all synch over wirelessly from Outlook on top of my email.
I use a Pearl, which is simply fantastic. Nice size, has a good phone and camera, and is worth it.
Unless you hate the double-keys.
See, I think the double-keys would annoy me. Hence going for the Curve.
