Forget it!! I couldn't have made it 7 hours. That would be pure torture. Then to give up your Blackberry for a normal boring crappy old cell phone. NO WAY!!

Wow... am I the rare blackberry user who ISNT addicted to it? lol

very interesting piece that

I do agree that a lot of us are addicted to technology way to much but there's also a reason we use technology. That guy made his clients quite mad because he was late and he couldn't even call to let them know. I think we live in a society that is now heavily integrated with technology, which makes our lives easy and less hassle free. Almost all industry's use technology to pull their jobs off more smoothly. It's not a crime to use technology, it's just harmful if you let it consume you to the point of addiction.

To give the berry up was to extreme, he could of just learned when to put it down and all would be well.

i like this video gives you a insight on life kinda

also the music and well made video has a warm feeling to it

I hope a dumbphone is the middle ground that works for this couple.

Even the most basic phone has a clock with alarms, contacts, instant messaging (can receive from email addresses) and, most likely, a calendar. My kids worked the h*ll out of their first basic phones. A resourceful adult, a career guy...just imagine the possibilities.

Best wishes to the lovebirds!

Speaking from the female side (also a crackberry user however not NEAR addicted/abusive as my significant other!) i wish more guys/girls would do this. They might better understand how much time is actually spent with there so called loves or "addictions" that maybe more time well spent doing other things. I have contemplated removing my boyfriends berry for instance just to see what happens. Some have said his addiction to his BB is "unhealthy" Maybe not having the crackberry would allow him to get back to the so called reality (yea right and what reality is that, without a BB?) maybe it would just drive him crazy (im thinking he would go insane and id have to put him in the NS w/ a hug me jacket ROFL)... id be willing to see the results. lol I know he will see this and he may laugh or he may get mad, sorry lol you know your on it 24/7. Now i wouldn't expect him to trade it in cuz that's ridiculous it has to many good uses and is handy. That's just what i think, a week of "DETOX" ha ha ha

I couldn't do it, tried when I left nextel for vzw, didn't get a blackberry, hated it needed my crackberry!!!

this was posted Nov 28th, a day after Thanksgiving, and he quite electricity "cold turkey". This was a well done short. Now we need an update in about a month. Did he get that regular phone, or that pretty white iphone he was eyeing from the store window? Did he fall back into old habits? Yes, a well done short that has me asking my self more questions. Waiting for part two.
