Blackberries

Whenever I see someone with a Blackberry (the device, not the fruit) I don\'t know if I hate them or if I\'m secretly jealous. I never used to want a mobile phone, and managed to go years after most people had one. I only took my brother's old (chunky and gold coloured) one to uni with me in case of an emergency. But then I started using it to text friends (and then I lost it and missed it), then I had a new one that was small and pretty (Nokia 3210) and then I got my first real love: the SonyEricsson T610. Now I couldn\'t live without my SonyEricsson K750i (the camera takes really good photos, and I can browse web pages). So I suspect I\'ll probably end up getting a Blackberry, or something similar, at some point. There are people in the office here that have them - some were using them during our last big meeting, and they got told off a couple times - but a lot of the users arcan be quite rude. Perhaps that's because the only people that could initially afford them were the type of pushy and arrogant people that do well in the world. I think they\'re dropping in price now, so I\'m sure more people will start to adopt them. Anyway, today's rant on Blackberries was inspired by today's Dilbert cartoon.

I remember reading about it, and how she was considering asking some random guy sat opposite her with a Blackberry to help with her 'broken' Blackberry that she'd been given during the campaign.
I'm too much of a geek to get away with pretending not to know how to use a gadget. And if I don't know how to use it, I doubt many women (or men, but I don't plan on asking them out) would know either.
