For Valentines day, the wife and I stepped into the 21st century and got each other blackberries. She got the pearl and I got the world phone. I know, you’re probably thinking, “Why not the iPhone?”. Well, we already had sprint, and sprint has a pretty decent data network which is faster than the iPhone’s. Plus, there are lots of apps available for blackberries since it’s been out for a while. And, I also wanted it because everyone I know seems to have an iPhone and I wanted something a little different than what they all had. So far, I’m thoroughly enjoying my blackberry even though I’ve probably only received two calls on it. I put instant messanger on there and have had like 3 people I haven’t heard from in a long time IM me during the day and use it to chat with the wife at work (like reminder her that it’s lunch time 
) I customized everyone’s entry and put a picutre with them and also put custom ringtones on it, which is super easy, all you have to do is connect it to your computer with a usb cable and send an mp3 to it. The only complaints I have about it is that it doesn’t have a camera or fancy looking interface like the pearl and it’s web browser isn’t as good as the iPhones. Otherwise it blows my old phone out of the water. The old one was nice and small but wasn’t very usable and had a battery life of like 7 hours. So, if any of you want to call or IM or email me, I’m looking for any excuse to use my new toy!
