    Ha! Who wants to avoid it? I picked up the addiction from my father. Remember parents, you can spread the addiction.

    I was when it first arrived, but now that I've learned how to use it properly, the "newness" has worn off.

    Okay... how about this one?

    Yearly physician exam (I am female, ahem, ahem)... On doc's table, in let's say an "awkward" position. While doc was checking out the parts, I was updating my to-do list!!!

    Pathetic!

    Just played with someone elses 8130. That is one nice device. I put the VSFS 2007 on a mSD card- it was really nice!

    I am really really afraid. I can't even conceive of having that one. I don't think I would put it down. EVER.

    I had a pretty strong addiction when my husband first gave me the blackberry, its worn itself down to what I consider a normal amount of addiction. Now my husband on the other hand does not have a blackberry but if we are out together especially on the weekends he always wanting me to look up sports scores. Im thinking he is having the stronger addiction to my phone.

    I constantly try to get the website Protrade.com to work properly in the browser. I love fantasy sports but traveling puts a damper on making trades.

    Addiction, I don't think so. But it did come in handy and I was very grateful for having it while waiting in the morning of Black Friday.

    I think my BB addiction is really an addiction to knowing what is going on...being connected. The BB has just proven to be the best tool for that (it used to be pagers and cell phones).
    In the world of public safety, it kind of comes with the territory though.

    Before I got my 8130, I used to make fun of all my friends who were assuming the Blackberry prayer position, but now I've become a full convert.

    Being connected with my BB is great but it can be a curse as well. We all have the temptation to either check it periodically (or every couple of minutes) but I try to get away from it in the evenings, at home. I usually take it off and leave it in my bedroom or bathroom where the temptation is at a minimum.

    I've barely had my Pearl a month and I wouldn't say I'm addicted. Yet. But it goes with me everywhere except the concert hall and my bed.

    I used to think I had an addictive habit of checking my e-mail. My Pearl has made that habit 10 times worse. (which is better )

    When I'm at work, I try to only pick it up when it vibrates... I'm trying to learn to do that at home too, but it's a lot harder!!!

    without a doubt I am addicted. I love it and I bought it to be used so I use it as often as I want. I have phantom ring syndrome, BB thumbs, and separation anxiety. There are two things that I cannot leave the house without, one is my BB the other is my pocketknife. If I have those two things I am good to go.
