no... it ****in' rocks

sometimes i don't answer the phone in time, 'cause i'm busy rockin' to a little knight ranger
 
I bought myself a BlackBerry for Christmas. I love it. Once you get the hang of typing with your thumbs, you can do reasonably well. I've filed several stories on it and you don't have to find a landline or a WiFi hot spot. For football this fall, it'll be wonderful.
 
Treo kicks BB's ass.
Better screen, better media capabilities, overall better phone.
I've had 1 for 14 months and would never get a BB.

What Bat mentions is the main reason I've also considered getting a Blackberry. My main question is one of value. I've thought about getting a refurbished Blackberry (I'm a Cingular customer). I know you have to get a data plan on top of the usual plan. For those who've made the move, is it worth it money-wise?

To me, filing from a Blackberry would be like having sex in the back of Mini Cooper. Is it possible? yes, but you better be quick or you could wind up with some serious cramps.
 
It's not that bad, really. The first time I used it to file, it took me about 40 minutes to finish a 15-inch girls' basketball gamer and boxscore. I've trimmed a lot of that time off once I got accustomed to it.
 
If you add in the bluetooth headset, your pretentious dickbag factor will shoot off the charts.
 
i have a bluetooth headset for my phone right now and must admit i love the thing. i know it's a dickhead device, but it's great. it really helps for interviewing folks
 
the Bluetooth is quickly becoming a necessity. With a Razr, I simply can't hold it against my shoulder any more (too thin) and most states are now moving to an 'illegal to talk on a cell phone without a handsfree device.'

But people who use the Bluetooth while walking through the grocery store? Douchebags.
