Reasons we are addicted to Blackberry

Just wanted to get some input on why Blackberries are so addicting? Also is it just BBs, or are iphone and other smart phone users addicted to their phones as well?

i like my bb so much because it is an all in one very mobile tool. i pay my bills, shop, get news, listen to music, talk, email and generally keep in touch. Not to mention gps, make lists, buy movie tickets and google/wiki for info!

The browser on the bb (along with mini opera) allows me to go on sites that my env just couldn't handle.

i was just as addicted to my env. i used that so much that the down key was giving out. i like the trackball on this thing and the ability to have apps and shortcuts right on the main screen.

i had a text alert for my emails on my dumbphone but push is so much more reliable and easy to use!

Spell check is another feature that i love!

The BlackBerry and NO other phone for that matter is "addicting"
except in the head of weak-minded, immature people. Period

Get over it people, it is just a friggin' phone.

I think everyone wants to be addicted because others say they are. Makes you feel like you are part of something important.

Ah! The great Kool-Aid drinking masses. Pass!

i'm pretty sure when people say they are "addicted" or refer to their bb as a crackberry it's all tongue in cheek.

i use mine everyday since i don't own a pc.

Lighten up man! You sould like a bitterberry! Ha

i'm sure no one really believes that they are mentally or physically addicted to their phone. The name of this site is even in jest, an exaggeration.

You seem to have been around this site long enough to know that if you have nothing to add to a thread other than to say it is a stupid thread then you should just move on.

i don't know the OP either but i can guarantee they were just making what was to be a light hearted thread.

But you feel the need to come in and insult it and others.

Get over yourself.

^^Exactly^^ I don't have a physical addiction to my phone, but it is great and I enjoy everything that I can do with it. I just wanted to hear what other people liked and thought about why Blackberries are so great.

So, now that we are back on track..why ar eyou ADDICTED (LOL) to your Berry?

Please stick to the topic

Topic? What topic? How about linking this to one of the 6,423,923 threads on BB addiction. This is getting to be ridiculous IMHO.

Push email rocks.

Seems to me, people are just passionate about their devices. Mac users are the same breed. If these threads upset you so much, don't read them. Its simple really.

Getting my email pushed is addictive, so is using the internet when I'm not at a computer. I like the keyboard and customizable ringtones. IMming is cool, because I hate it on my computer. WiFi is nice for faster browsing and MMS sending...Google search is useful for searching on-the-fly.

I also must add that I went several days without turning on my computer. Now I only use my computer for viewing Myspace HTML comments and for downloading videos..

uhh... what?

something doesn't have to be physically "addicting" for someone to be addicted to it.

Just because you think you're too cool to joke around and say "i'm addicted" or "I love" my BB.. doesn't mean you have to be the maturity police for everyone else.

It is a wonderful sales tool with personal side benefits. Nuf said.
