Cons: Service Area Has Dead Spots, Particularly in Big Buildings, Pricey When Figuring in the Monthly Access Fee

Pros: Instant Messenger, Email, Calendar, Address Book, To Do List; Excellent User Interface; National Coverage

Pros: Loads of great features, easy to use, and keeps you connected
Cons: Does not work everywhere and will often have long delays

Do I really need to be this connected? Is there no where left to hide in this world? I received a RIM blackberry as what was supposed to be a replacement for my “one-way” pager. Well, needless to say, I still carry my one-way in addition to the...

Pros: Email pretty much anywhere, small, well thought out interface
Cons: Needs a second computer for us travellers

Pros: Convenience, Freedom, PDA Replacement
Cons: Pricey, Confusing Offerings

The Behavior Changing Gadget to Get!

Pros: Email, always! ALL OUTLOOK FUNCTIONS
Cons: A bit pricey... but worth it!

I got yelled at last week for paying more attention to my Blackberry than my girlfriend! I wrote a memo to myself using the little thumb-activated keyboard (I am up to about 30 words per minute now, no nintendo-thumb either) TASK - Get rid of jealous...
