Sorry if there is a "newbie" or "introductions" thread, but I didn't find one. After resisting for years, I finally broke down last week and purchased my first blackberry. I bought my son his 3rd a month ago (Storm). I find that he and I don't talk as much as before he was a teenager, but now that we both have blackberry's, we are instantly in touch throughout the day! The PIN instant messenger feature is brilliant! I do, however, still refuse to use any of the internet lingo or slang (OMG, ur, lulz, lol, O.o, etc.)
I have to admit that it took some doing to get used to the phone, but now it's a permanent fixture in my hand (whether that's good for bad is anyone's guess or opinion).
Anyway, just wanted to say hello to everyone and I'm so glad that my Verizon salesperson sent me to this site.
Bright Blessings!
Tony
