Confessions of a Blackberry Addict

I must confess, I really love my Blackberry 8820. It is my constant companion and goes with me everywhere. As a phone and communications device, it has no equal. The Blackberry keyboard is very ergonomic with great tactile feedback. It is incredibly flexible and configurable. There is nothing like push e-mail. In fact, e-mail messages typically show up on my Blackberry before they hit my browser. The browser is sufficent for simple surfing tasks and for getting information from the web on the fly. The built-in apps are serviceable and there is decent third-party app support. The Blackberry's battery life is legendary. I can get at least two days of typical use from a single charge. I can understand why so many Blackberry users (including our President) are so addicted to it. It is a superlative device!
