So, I did it… I finally broke down and got a Blackberry Curve… My first Blackberry. I really wanted the IPhone but my hubby wasn’t for that… well, he wasn’t for either to tell you the truth. He loves me too much and I know how to get him to say yes. *WINK* So after months of warming him up and then $300.00 worth of birthday money falling into my lap, he gave in and let me get one. I will tell you I am in love with my new pink little friend. I knew I would be! I am connected 24 hours a day. When I love it most is when I am in the drop-off or pick-up car line at my daughters school. Now instead of just listening to music, I can reply to personal and business related emails. Since I got it about two weeks ago, I feel it has saved me hours of time. I hardly ever need to sit down at the computer anymore. Plus, I love the calendar on it and how it beeps to tell me when I have something to do. I also love how I can go online ANYTIME! Like yesterday in the grocery store when I forgot a recipe, I just looked it up online at the grocery store. Yeah, I’m COOL!
I have lots to learn about my Blackberry… I need to take time and see if I can find an app. that deals with weight watchers and keeping track of foods eaten. If you know of one and how to use it, let me know. I would also love to find an app. that tracks exercise details. I have to figure the whole app thing out — I will later!
I haven’t researched how this could help people in the education profession. I am curious how teachers use this.
Funny, when my girlfriend saw it laying out the other day she said to me something like; “You aren’t going to be one of those people that have to check that thing all the time, are you?” I explained to her that I have rules. I have to have rules because I don’t want to be one of those people out to dinner with the girls and on her Blackberry. I love my friends and family more than my Blackberry… So here are my rules…
No checking or sending email while driving – not even at a red light.
No checking or sending emails when out with friends or family — no mater what!
No checking or sending emails when at someones house.
Facebook can only still be checked no more than 3x a day total via computer and/or Blackberry… (I had this rule before my Blackberry, because I started to have a problem).
Do you have a Blackberry? Do you make rules for yourself? What are your Blackberry tips for me?
I am now 25 year old but i still love to play with toys.I love to learn such topics.
You have great friends. It sounds like your girl friend didn't want to lose you to your blackberry. She really cares about you!
