I joined the BlackBerry Cult today
ditched my mondo el cheapo LG for a BlackBerry Pearl and for a electronics geek like myself, it was like a smartphone equivalent to a Peanut Butter And Jelly sandwich. I intentionally begged off getting a smart phone for a long time because I knew it would be like Frank Sinatra in "The Man With The Golden Arm" for me, and I was right; I'm hooked..

4. I came really close to getting an iPhone
A friend has one and he let me screw around w/ it; I loved it but I'm not really into the touch screen thing..

5. I love my iPhone but I have several complaints about it:
No ability to cut and paste, can't post photos to websites, and a couple of others. So glad you like your Blackberry! :hug: :hug:

7. Storm
Hi,
Good gosh, I went from nothing but phone service with a 99 cent phone to a Blackberry Storm yesterday. Maybe I'll figure it out in a few months. Any tips hints/easy links would be nice.

Peace

8. I'm still feeling my way around it
I'm reading the CrackBerry forums to get up to speed:

Watch out, it really is addicting...

9. I am hoping that the blackberries and smart phones get cheaper
in the next couple of years so I can get one. Those would be awesome bus toys.

10. Wait until you start exploring the new app store that opened today.
Takes a lot of willpower to not buy everything.
