I will be the first to admit I hated blackberry phones. Yes, literally hated them. Too many buttons, too bulky, too much in general. Well…now I own a Blackberry Curve and I believe it’s the best piece of handheld technology I’ve seen in a while. What can I say? Verizon had a sale;) Here are few ways it’s helped me out.
Email. I have 3 email accounts (that I check regularly), it saves time when I can roll over in the morning grab my phone, push ONE button, and my inbox appears. Instead of hitting the snooze button, check your email, and if nothing requires your immediate attention, feel free sleep worry-free for the next 10-15 min.
Website. I don’t spend as much time as I should updating and maintaining my site. Now that I can access Wordpress from my Blackberry, I’m sure the next time I’m standing in line at the post office I’ll give it a gander.
User-friendly. When I purchase a gadget, phone or any technical device, I pay close attention to how easy it is to learn and operate. Will it take me four days to get the hang of it, or four weeks? Four weeks is a bit much, but the Blackberry has everything exactly where I need it. It offers numerous resources for the beginner, as well as the advanced.
Contacts. Bottom line, the sole benefit of a Blackberry phone is its ability to allow you to keep in touch with everyone, everywhere, at any time. Social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are a breeze with the Blackberry.
With my Blackberry in hand I seldom need to open my netbook. It once irked me to see Blackberry owners playing with their phones, looking at them, or even talking on them non-stop. Now I understand why.
Do you own a Blackberry? How has it helped make your life easier?
