I check it all the time, everywhere, at any time. I use it for personal and business email, facebook, twitter, music, it’s my alarm in the morning, I chat business and personal on it. It’s my baby. My BB is my baby, and I love it. I am a Crackberry. The first step to getting better is admitting it, but I’m not getting better anytime soon.

After reading all of this, though, I’ve started to set my blackberry to “phone only” at night and may think of turning it off to automatically turn on in the morning (but I like to know that I can receive an emergency phone call). I’ve definitely stopped checking (OK, most of the time) if I get up at night.

I have my BB with me all the time, I use it for facebook, rss, web, work email, gmail for personal stuff, take pictures, show pictures, music. If it had more features I would probably use those as well, I am completely hooked on this. Right before I go to bed, I check it, set my wakeup alarm, hook it up to the charger, and off to sleep.

I check my BB everytime I wake up at night. Infact I can’t decide whether I check my BB because of the fact that I wake up at night, or the other way round !!!
This becomes even more relevant since I am based in India and most of our partners are in the US.
I am happy (in a twisted way) to note that there are more people like me “sleeping” with their Blackberry !

I literally have my BB with me WHEREVER i go! I’m not kidding.

You name it – while eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner that I’m not occupied by something else, I go on my BB; while in the bathroom doing business or in the shower (of course, it can’t go in the shower stall); even while at home either going upstairs/downstairs/going to another room; and even to bed. In fact, I sleep with it on my bed. It doesn’t lay on the nightstand next to me, it lays on my bed next to my head.

I am on my BB every minute that I’m not doing anything else important. I check mail and go on the internet throughout the day. And if I’m having a hard time falling asleep, I go on my BB. None of that reading a book, or watching tv to help fall asleep. And when I wake up and don’t have to rush getting up, I go on my BB to do the same thing all over again.

We are inseparable! =)
