BlackBerry Cool

More than you could imagine. The other half says I have a major addiction and should be referred to the men in white coats!

My collection comprises of multiple devices of most of same model, stacks and stacks of Nokia’s, S/E, most of the new and innovative devices that I have to get my hands on.

But… with the BlackBerry, its definitely more like a CrackBerry to me. Most days I carry more than 3 devices (2x 8700′s, 1x 7100), all on different networks just in case I cannot get connectivity on one.

(pics to follow, they will make you chuckle)

I have a warhorse of a 6750. Before that, I had an 850. So let’s say I’m on the slow end of the adoption curve.

I’m the same, pretty much have kept on upgrading since the 58xx days. But I would have to say the biggest improvement came from 5xxx –> 6xxx and then 7xxx –> 8xxx.

957, 6230, 7230, 7290, 7100t, 7105t, 8700g — Enough said!

My first one was a 950, and my current one is an 8700g. Between those 2, I’ve had (in order) a 5810, 6710, 6210, 6280, 7210, 7730, 7100, and a 7290. I’ve never really had one that wasn’t for the GSM/GPRS network. I still have most of these in a drawer in my office, except for one that was stolen and a couple I gave away.

Addiction? Maybe…

“Addiction” is putting it lightly

Here goes….addiction started in 1999

Where da crack at!?!?! I NEED HELP!

I just got the 8700g after only having the 7105t for 3 months.

I’ve used same 7290, corporate-owned, for about 2 yrs. It has withstood impact, dropped on concrete steps, as if it was made of . It has served me well

Well I started supporting them in 2004 (luckily they are work provided). Now I have a “lab” next to my desk with almost every T-Mobile one that has been released. But here is the list of ones I personally used:

First blackberry was purchased last fall, now I’m on the 8700.

-7230
-8700g

While I am sure that I can not compete with others on the quantity of Blackberry devices used, I am sure that I am off to a good start. I currently have three Blackberry devices and my wife has one too!

It all started in April of 2005 when I bought myself a 7290 as a birthday gift. I really enjoyed using it and upgraded the OS from 3.8 to 4.0 to 4.1!

I then bought my wife a 7100g. It too was upgraded from OS 4.0 to 4.1.

Last month, I bought myself the 8700 device for a birthday gift. I have also updated the OS on that too.

I traded the 7290 with a friend in exchange for a 7100t. I have upgraded it to OS 4.1 and converted the housing to the 7100x!

I have recently acquired a 7100i through my company. I am enjoying using it also.

My kids are getting hooked too. My 7 year old son carries his 7230 dummy phone in his holster everywhere. He sports it with his (no longer functional) Motorola HS850 headset. My daughter has a 7100g dummy phone and she is not quite 3 yet.

I am already making plans for the NEXTEL 87xx model when it comes out!

So, I do not have the most, I am off to a fast start in a one year period!

I have only had 2 Blackberrys. Got my first one last year, went from a SK2 to a 7100t as I wanted more ability to personalize my device. I moved up to the 8700 as soon as it came out for Tmobile, and gave my hubby my 7100t. Apparently I am spreading BB madness… who will be next?

I had a 7230 with T-Mobile for about a week, and the service sucked so much (slow and limited working coverage) that I cancelled it. I got that one because it was so cheap, and nothing else was compareable price-wise, so I went a while without a Blackberry. Then I decided to go in and just buy a 7250 with Verizon, and love it.

I have been an addict since 1999 as well. And never one to envy others with the latest but rather to be the one who people ask “where do i get that model?” i have had most of the models that came out (as have my business partner and my employees). I have used the:
950
957
5810
6710
7230
7290
7100c
8700c

got the 7100t in mar. ’05, upgraded to the 7105t in nov. ’05 (better keyboard, adjustible lighting for screen, scratch proof screen, etc.), and moved on to the 8700g late april mostly due to the still better keyboard. not regretting the upgrade at all.

i use my BB for my small businesses with BIS (have 3 e-mail accounts sent to the BB) and the BB is a must have for a one person / small biz like myself.

Noooooo! I’ve just got a couple of devices at the weekend total now exceeds 20 devices… I NEED HELP…

Two 6750′s (first was stolen with my car)
One 7750
Two 7510′s (soaked the first one)
One 7250
Three 7520′s (broke display on first, soaked second)
One 7130e
One 7100i

I wish there was a way to transfer PINs from one device to another because everyone I know is sick of updating their addy book everytime I break a Berry.

Hows this for old school 8700 step aside. I’m partying like its 1999
