Crackberry Addicts
 

I just bought my second phone ever- a Blackberry Curve 8320.
It doesn't seem to leave my hands. I keep poking at it to find more functions. My hand feels strangely light without it.

Anyone else love their Blackberry? Or hate it?

I think its too much for me. I don't even really need it!

My bf has one. He never puts the damn thing down. I hate it and wish he never got it, it's annoying.
It's like the day he brought it home, I had to kiss 100% alone time goodbye because it's always beeping some alarm or he always wants to look things up because her can. Did I mention that I hate that thing?

My co-worker has one and it makes me crazy. While we're working on something and waiting for a server to reboot or something, she's constantly fiddling with it, checking her home email, playing solitaire.. grrrrrrrrrrrrr. If she paid attention to me, she might learn things faster!

I have a Blackberry Pearl and I love it! I would be lost without it!

Yay Blackberry Pearl!!!

My boss has one, and I'm seriously thinking of taking it away from him. He's in Court this morning, and has sent me 15 messages -- some are follow-ups for his clients he wants me to do, some are phone calls he wants me to make, and one was a running commentary on how crappy the roads are in Central Illinois. I still have at least 5 I haven't read yet, which I plan on doing once I've had my Greekchat fix.

My husband asked for one for his birthday; I "forgot" that he wanted one, and bought him the other things on his list. Knowing my husband, him having a crackberry would lead to me getting e/m's like..."Honey, what's for dinner?' or "Honey, where did I put my keys." A truely frightening thought.

How do you guys like the Pearl? The Boy has the Curve and loves it. I want to get the Pearl, because mine will be more of a phone/organizer than for email. He swears by the Curve and thinks I should get the curve. If I were in the States, there would be no discussion because I would get the pink Pearl. But they don't offer colors out here. :(

He is addicted to it, and I have to make certain times/places "Crackberry Free Zones" but hes not as bad with it anymore. When we first starting dating, he was TERRIBLE with it. I give him looks now and it goes away.

When we moved down to California, my husband got one. It didn't have a camera (his job did NOT allow phones with cameras). He was in love...I was ready to throw it out the window :rolleyes:

5 days after that, he also got another bombshell: no pdas, treos or blackberry type phones.

He had to return it and I thought he was gonna cry as he took it back. He whined about it for MONTHS

He is no longer working at that company and is either gonna get an iphone or blackberry when our phone contract expires next month.

I have a Blackberry Pearl and I love it. I really can't imagine life BEFORE the Blackberry now.

I got a Curve yesterday. I didn't like it at first and I'm not sure I still like it (even if I can't put it down). But, I do find myself just poking at it for no reason. Maybe it is new phone syndrome? I had to buy a MicroSD card because PocketBlackberry for Mac doesn't allow file transfers of pictures or music.

Has anyone ever dropped it so bad they needed to replace it? Is it a delicate phone like the iPhone?

Take some time to thoroughly learn everything the phone can do. Once you get if all figured out you will love it! Also, definitely get a gel skin for it. My phone has been dropped many times and even left in the rain overnight and the gel skin has kept it like new.

I have a BB 8310 Curve (Titanium). Can't put it down. My top applications are: Facebook, Google Talk, Google Maps, & BB Messenger.

Ditto the skin. I saw those when I first got mine and thought it was cheesy. Now I have dents and dings just around the corners and wish I had of gotten one (I just use the leather sleeve that came with it thinking the screen would get the most abuse). :(

I also regret not getting a real good skin/case for it, but it's so scratched up I don't even bother now.

The iphones are a lot easier to break!

*Bump* I just got my bb curve 8330 on verizon and I love it! I'm waiting for my memory card and case to come in the mail. I found some great deals on amazon. Anyone have a beloved bb? Pin exchange what? Lol

I got my Storm yesterday. So far I'm doing good at installing very basic stuff like hotmail. Can't get the Facebook to load.

I am getting frustrated because sometimes it's like the screen freezes up and I can't get anything to move or accept when I need it to. I thought it was supposed to be super-sensitive to the touch.

Funny, I never realized I had fat fingers before because I'm always hitting the letter before or after the one I want. :rolleyes:

I have a blackberry, but do not have internet on it. I however never put it down because it has my entire schedule in it. Heaven forbid something happen to it because I would be completely lost.

I have a different Blackberry (the Curve), but you may want to make sure you're charging it fully. I have some problems with the screen freezing (and trouble connecting to the email/internet) when it's low on battery power.

I got a BB Curve a few weeks ago and already love it. Mine came with an awesome GPS navigation application that makes it work just like a Garmin; I used it the first day I had the phone. Otherwise I love how I can read all of my incoming email, text and missed call messages by just clicking on one icon.

The Google Maps application is kind of neat like that, in that it can re-set to your location. There are a few courthouses in the area where parking is a couple of blocks away, so it's been really helpful with walking directions in those circumstances.

Mine is Sprint Navigation. It gives audio cues and everything...even sounds like the Garmin voice.

Love the AT&T Navigator, FB for BB, and Google Maps applications...

Just added TwitterBerry today :)

The only thing I would warn with TwitterBerry is that if you only occasionally check for updates for the people you follow, there can be long loading times. The first time it happened to me I thought the screen had frozen, but it just took a long time to update.

I loaded WeatherBug, Bank of America and Facebook!

No desire for Twitter! I don't have that much free time but if someone wants to know what I am doing, THEY can call or email me;)

Oh yes, I almost forgot the BofA app - it is awesome!

I loooove my blackberry. Her name is BabyDoll..
I got a blackberry BOLD, but I have had almost every new blackberry on ATT network. I was curious to buy an unlocked Javelin or Storm, but the Storm has too many complaints (see crackberry forum, an ACTIVE member there) and the Javelin was too expensive. The Bold is amazing, I love the IheartRadio app the most.. man it is definitely the life!
