Does Having a BlackBerry Really Change a Person?

Posted by Mara Blumenthal on 24 Oct 2008 10:13 am
Dear Berry, I am a young professional female and I'm so excited the Storm is on its way. I have Verizon and I will be purchasing it the day it hits stores, and it will also be my very first BB. A few years ago when I was still in College I contemplated getting a BB because I really thought it was a cool phone that you could do a lot with. But, I then did a reality check that "I am not that...

Berry on a Bike!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 14 Oct 2008 8:05 am
Dear Berry, The other day I was riding my new expensive hybrid. I say "expensive" because you would think I would want to be extra special careful with it and it would be a priority over my BlackBerry - well I do want to take extra special care of it. I love it! So I figured out a way to find a front pouch that sits on my handle bars and I can just put my BlackBerry in it. I thought what a...

Dear Berry: Texting While Driving

Posted by Mara Blumenthal on 25 Sep 2008 9:33 am
Dear Berry, I am writing to tell you more of a story than asking advice. This is hard for me to understand. Maybe you can explain it to me. I was just out of town and taking a tour on a trolley. A guy came to a screeching halt almost hitting our trolley head-on. Not only was he speeding like crazy, he was wearing a neck brace and yes, typing on his Blackberry. Some people obviously NEVER...

Dear Berry: HELP!!!

Dear Berry, My boyfriend and I are both fairly technical and LOVE new and shiny electronic toys. We spend as much time with our BBs as we do with each other, if not more. But something happened.... We decided together that we wouldn't take our BBs to a funeral we had to attend yesterday. In addition, we decided we wouldn't take our BBs to a formal dinner with high level political officials...

Dear Berry: Is it Fondness or Addiction?

Posted by Mara Blumenthal on 22 Apr 2008 9:38 am
Dear Berry, Ok so I love blackberries I'll admit it. I had the pearl first day out then I went to WM with the Treo750 and came running back to the 8700 then the curve then I bought a spare 7290 then a spare 7130 and now I have the 8820. So is this an addiction? I only use the 8820 but I sometimes get an itch for the wheel and I flip back to the 7130 or 7290. I justify this by saying I don't...

Dear Berry: Addicted to my Curve and this Site!

Posted by Mara Blumenthal on 8 Mar 2008 12:47 pm
Dear Berry, My main issue won't surprise you. My second one might! I am of course obsessed with my BB Curve. I LOVE it! I can't put it down. When I go out with friends to dinner I try to be polite and not keep it on the table and "openly" check it however, I keep it in my lap and find myself constantly looking for the red blinking light. Then I find it next to impossible to not check what has...

Dear Berry: My Wife's a BlackBerry Addict

Posted by Mara Blumenthal on 23 Oct 2007 4:17 pm
Dear Berry, We were on our way to CA for a romantic weekend - finally got away from our 5 kids - and in the airport before boarding the plane and my wife's BB was accidentally stepped on and it really was almost smashed. The person who stepped on it put her heel through the screen. My wife FREAKED OUT!! I mean, I felt badly for her and did try to calm her down and let her know we could deal...

Dear Berry: Bathroom-Bound BlackBerry...

Posted by Mara Blumenthal on 10 Oct 2007 8:29 am
Dear Berry, This has to be a joke or something. My husband used to disappear into the bathroom with his newspaper - ok - bad enough - lots of people do it. We had 1 child then so not such a burden. However, now he disappears into the bathroom with his NEW BlackBerry, which seems to be NEW every couple of months. I know of course because of the shear time he spends in there (no he is not sick in...

Dear Berry: Can't Sleep in Seattle!

Posted by Mara Blumenthal on 6 Sep 2007 7:28 am
Dear Berry, I am having a terrible time sleeping because of my BB. I know this sounds absurd however, I have tried to turn it off at bedtime and no luck. I just turn it on again watching for the red light. Insomnia has never been my problem but since my BB, I find things to do on it during the night. Aside from checking email constantly, I play games, look at the apps, change settings, etc. The...

Dear Berry: Feeling iPhone Pressure!

Posted by Mara Blumenthal on 16 Jul 2007 10:11 am
Dear Berry, My husband is an Apple NUT. He was 2nd in line at the Apple store to get an iPhone - which he successfully purchased. I must admit it's a beautiful electronic however, I'm in love with my Blackberry (at times before my husband). He has been bothering me ever since the IPhone ads began months ago to switch from my Blackberry. I use my Blackberry for business (am self-employed) and...
