Tonight I finally found the point in my life where I absolutely knew I was addicted to my BlackBerry. After church service there was a warning for tornadoes in the area. Soon after the alarms went off and everyone went to the safe shelter underground I was above ground in a big open area scrambling around trying to find my Curve! I completely lost intrest in my own safety and put it all into my BlackBerry!

Don't worry I found it and she's safe..

Without us knowing it, somehow the BlackBerry has become our lifeline. We couldn't live without it, we imagine we THINK we can survive without it --- but no.

As I have said way before, this has become our new Barbie and GI Joe. We are like kids who can't let go of our toys -- that without it, somehow we feel something is missing.

I know i have a problem, cause i can't stop buying BBs.
The decision i make in the am, before i even decide what i'm wearing, is what BB i feel like.
Red 8310
titanium 8310
Red 8100
Black 8100

I have them all setup exactly the same, same theme (bPhone)
same apps, same everything.
I just have to enter the PIN and IMEI to my BIS.
Now thats addicted.

you can't beat the addiction!

I think that's all Crackberry addicts' problem. One device is never enough! I had this friend before where he has not only have different BlackBerry models all running on separate contracts, but also have the latest mobile phones... not just smartphones! When I had to get in touch with him, I had to message all mobile numbers I have of him. Then figured that they were all set up with the same emails, so whatever he was using, it will still go through.

Now thats an addiction! So are you paying retail for all of those BB's?

[cjcarbone]

NO WAY!!!!!
I buy them "broken" off of ebay.
JVM 102 or anyother OS error, then wipe and reload the OS!!

Broken trackballs are also great!
I did upgrade my acct to my 1st and favorite BB, my red 8310, but that was 99.
8310R-99
8310T-169- never used
8100B-100
8100R-125


I've been trying to get a 8320 for the Wi-fi, but also looking for an 8820.

Oh, I have been late for work because I had to turn around for "leroy"......and when asked, I simply say "I wasn't dressed".....by now they know that means that Leroy wasn't with me, because I just feel naked without him.

Hey, I LOVE your picture......I think it would make a wonderful wall paper....where'd you get it?

Tonight I finally found the point in my life where I absolutely knew I was addicted to my BlackBerry.

I was working at my desk the other day and took a call on my Curve. I finished the call and laid the Curve down on my desk rather than holstering it. This is unusual for me but I was expecting another call to come in right after the last one.

Before I knew it, I was being paged to another building at work. I was over in the other building and woe and behold I grabbed for my phone and realized that I had left it on my desk back in my office. I almost panicked. Now most of the panic attack was more at the idea my Curve was unprotected just sitting there laying in my unoccupied office. I remember an old co-worker getting his phone stolen off of his desk in a top security office floor a few years back.

I hurried back as quickly as I could and there was my Curve. I smiled.

Alot of this is more about the hours and hours and hours of customizations some of us have done with our Curves. Yes, I don't want to shell out any bucks to buy a new Curve but at the same time, the thought of the days it would take me to get a new Curve personalized gives me a terrible rash.

Next time you leave your BB unattended, even for just one second, it's mine. Watch your back!

I should do that as well. I would like to have a Pearl as well when I want the use of a mini Berry.

Wait 6 months and I will probably be ready to sell my 8320. Maybe sooner.

[broomhilda]

Cjcarbone-great idea for buying "broken" BBs online. I had serious buyers remorse for about ten seconds after I bought my pearl. Then I started customizing and really imprinting myself on Betsy. I keep wanting the curve. Now that I know I don't have to pay quite so much I think I'll give it a go. Maybe Betsy can become my work phone and the new one can be my weekend phone. Or I can use it as a vehicle to get my husband addicted. Sweet!

GJ cj. You just messed me up right there. Now I will be doing the same.

Lol. The addiction is contagious.

Let me tell you all how hard it is without a blackberry!
Mine cant go online or recieve emails.. theyre sending me another one.. I can text and use it a s a phone.. yet I still feel like I got both of my arms chopped off.
Im in a rancid mood and I had trouble sleeping haha. I cant wait to get my other bb, I worry that that one will have troubles too for some odd reason... Life without a bb sucks tho, I NEVER want to experience this again,
So I think when I have money I am going to buy another one ... as a just in case bb.

[garbagefairy1967]

BlackBerry, its a way of life...
