What To Do With Your 'Berry When Exercising???
- So I'm finding it to be a pain when I go jogging or running to have my blackberry. Naturally I keep it in my hand but I'm thinking there's gotta be a better solution!
Can't someone invent arm or leg bands to carry your blackberry like they have for ipods? I don't like leaving my blackberry home for any reason!
Its fine on the tredmill or eliptical because I just put it in the cup holder lol

p.s. i dont leave it in my car either.. its at home in its cradle.04-25-09 09:53 PMLike 0 - I use my iPod (Nano) when exercising by myself because it's so much smaller, but if I'm taking a class, I leave my 'Berry in my car, or put it on silent and leave it with my towel and water at the back of class. Sometimes I do 2 or 3 classes back to back and I need to check in. There is a gentlemen that brings his Curve in and puts it on the water holder on his bike during spin class. I go at 5:30 a.m. and it's still dark and the instructor leaves the lights pretty much off except for the light up in front. The guy on the bike has the this weird blue glow on his face the whole class because he's looking down at his phone. I'm glad I don't have to be that much "in touch." I also would be sweating all over it. Yuck.
The Storm is pretty big, I think, for using for cardio, but I'll bet there is a small neoprene fanny pack (I know, but they are still out there) that would fit and hold it close and snug so it doesn't bounce around. Maybe one of those kiosks at a larger mall would have something. They have tons of stuff like that for that other phone that uses a partly munched apple as a logo.04-25-09 10:16 PMLike 0 - I have a similar dilemma. I use my blackberry with slacker and take it to the gym all the time. I wish their was a solution like the armband cases for the ipods.04-26-09 02:52 AMLike 0
- amazinglygracelessRetired ModIf I am running outdoors the phone stays in the car. If using the
treadmill in the house it is usually upstairs on my desk.
I have 2 tones that are for people I will absolutely not ignore.
The rest can wait until I'm done.04-26-09 03:51 AMLike 0 - I'd check local places like radio shack or even target for a universal arm pouch. Should hold anything, an ipod/phone/camera. Otherwise, if you can wait a bit, hit up ebay.
Another solution would be to clip it to your waist and either get some A2DP headphones or run a wired set of headphones under your shirt so the wire isn't bouncing around.
Personally, i also have a nano for my music needs running or lifting, but I can understand the need to keep a phone on you for the just in case scenarios.04-26-09 05:33 AMLike 0 - Personally if I'm exercising it's outside, and then the berry stays home - if I'm in sport mode then I may forget about the berry and break it. If I'm working out however it's typically at my home (I have a home gym), so the berry isn't too far away.
Isn't there like a universal armband you could get?04-26-09 06:49 AMLike 0 - If for some reason I ever went to a gym or even went for a run outside it would drive me crazy not to have my phone. I would probably. Just hold it while running and then set it near me while working out.

- I bought a MOTOROKR� S9....it comes with a arm strap that the Storm fits in. Works great while I am lifting weights! I am always using Slacker while I'm at the gym....the arm strap wont get in the way and doesn't slide around...plus the headset has no cords to tangle or to get caught and snatch the buds out of your ear...ITS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

You can get them a little cheaper on Ebay.
Hope this helps!!!

Keeps my BB close (as well as lip balm, etc) , can't fall out, and doesn't rub the front/side of my leg. Good luck!04-26-09 08:53 AMLike 0
- It's also a pet peeve of mine when I see people at the gym with cells.. It only annoys me when people are talking on it while working out.
I leave mine in the locker or in the car. But I can understanding having it with you on the workout floor. I use to date a single mother who needed to have her phone by her side, just in case... So I can understand that. But if you're talking on the phone, having a conversation about nothing.. You need to sit your *** to the side and get out of everyones way. Haha
I've seen people talking on their cells while running on a treadmill... That's an accident waiting to happen.
