Ah, the holidays, that joyous time of year where we strive to find the perfect gift for everyone on our list. Sometimes, we moms get forgotten in the hectic shopping rush and end up with last minute gifts like a toaster or a waffle iron. When buying for dear old mom, we forget that she is
more than a housekeeper, taxi service, day care provider, accountant, nurse and counselor. As an extremely busy mother of 3, I rely HEAVILY on my BlackBerry devices on a daily basis for just about everything (seriously, a day without one of my BlackBerry Smartphones is like a day in purgatory for me). I figure there are plenty of other BlackBerry moms like me out there that would absolutely love some cool apps or accessories for their devices this Christmas. Keep reading after the break for some great gift ideas for that wonderful mom in your life.
Devices
I personally loved my BlackBerry Style 9670 (it is a great phone people, sheesh!) until I recently tried the BlackBerry Bold 9930. This phone is AMAZING! The wonderful keyboard makes entering schedule changes into the calendar quick and easy while the responsive touchscreen allows us to quickly locate and scroll through all those great pictures of our little brats angels while sitting in the beauty salon.
