Hi, my name is Melinda and I'm a Blackberry addict

I’m addicted to my crackberry….er, Blackberry. I love having immediate access to email, internet, calendars, Twitter and even Facebook. My Blackberry is my lifeline to the world around me. No more trying to juggle who has a dentist appointment, what time the soccer game is and whose birthday is coming up. I’m able to adjust my calendar online and the reminders will be emailed to Rob too. This helps immensely in situations like if I forget to “tell” Rob about Sabreena staying after school next Thursday for National Junior Honor Society. Even down to our blog post scheduling, I can send him notes or alerts for when I would like to schedule something to go up.
We have Blackberrys because we are on the Verizon network and as much as an iPhone sounds appealing with their many many apps I can’t bear to leave the reliability of Verizon. We have little to no dropped calls and I can make calls from inside my home, at the park, inside the mall and library and just about anywhere we go. Smart phones like the Blackberry are a great tool for everyone on the go. Parents who are over scheduled, business people who have a full calendar and bloggers who need to keep track of important relationships all benefit from the organizational advantages that smartphones offer.
Verizon and JuiceBoxJungle sponsored me to write this post, and they asked me to talk about the ways my smart phone affects my life as a parent.
Love my BB too! Had the iPhone and it is nice but like Verizon service better than...well you know...that other service! LOL
Wow, it seems like a great tool to keep you organized. Maybe I'll get one someday....
We're on the Verizon Network too - and you've given me more ammunition to try to convince hubby that I really need a Blackberry! ;)
Stay warm (and safe) in all the snow falling down! :)
I don't have a black berry ;(
I don't have one clue how to work a blackberry. Pssst I dont' even know what a black berry is. Okay ...I know it's a phone but really what is it?
I've been contemplating a switch. I've been a captive of Tmobile for years. What I want to know is how are Verizon's rates? I bet they are different there than what we have here.
Do they offer a free Blackberry?? I really need one ;)
I am addicted to mine also. The BB is yet another great Canadian export, right behind Micheal Buble, lol.
I agree, as cool as the iphone is, I can't cheat on my crackberry. I love mine! I think this is my 3rd. My hubby has one too and we love them!
my sister loves her blackberry as well dont think she could live without it
I have Verizon and a Blackberry too and I have to say that I am also addicted! I'm not sure what I would do without it!
I found your blog from a SITS list on Twitter of people who are attending the Bloggy Bootcamp in Baltimore! I signed up as well so hopefully I will meet you at camp!
Hope you have a great day!
I don't know how I ever functioned without instant access to the internet where ever I am. :)
LOL, crackberry... LOL!!
I had a BB when I was at work and I would always shut it off. I hated how it made all my coworkers overworked - with them e-mailing and replying at odd hours making my BB alert me at 2 am. Or how they would be walking through the halls typing. It was INSANE.
That said, I adore my iPhone. It lets me listen to music, keep tabs on the Mom Buzz, check Facebook ... oh yah ... and make phone calls. LOL.
Guess you have to choose your poison, right?
I haven't gone to the dark side yet. I have a netbook though.
My crackberry! lol See, that's why I can't get one!!!
You really do like Verizon? They took over my Alltel and I'm not sure yet! But I don't have the Qwerty keyboard so I'm mad at everyone!
Oh that looks delicious, very colorful too!
