Blackberry people are productive people and it really irks me to not get any messages all day, then log onto my E-mail account and see 20 relevant messages stacked up that I have to deal with immediately rather than little by little throughout the day. Not to mention the crippling uncertainty of not knowing whether or not the things that you sent out are reaching their recipients. I'm willing to say that I would go without OS 4.5 for another month if they would find a way to fix them indefinitely.

The notifier is like a death rattle. Sometimes I am too scared to even read it, becasue it represents work, the difficulty of which is unknown. I hate the fact that the first thing I do everyday (even before getting out of bed) is check my email to see how may jobs came in overnight. When I see the inevitable list, my mind starts to race and I begin mentally composing repsonses. Life, as once I knew it, has gone.
