So for the past year, I have been very happy with my phone. Until now. A few months ago Jeff trailed a Blackberry from work and it was very cool. But I still wasn't sold. Then some friends of mine started texting and I couldn't join in and there was Twitter that could be done from a phone but again I couldn't.
So this lead to me wanting, no needing, a phone with a full keyboard so that I could get in on the texting action. We did our home work, checked prices, looked around and finally this weekend, I took her home.
*Sigh* Isn't she just so pretty? She is pink just like my camera and my purse. I now have a matching set.But now I have a confession to make. I know why this sweet little device can sometimes be called a 'crackberry' because oh boy, is it addicting and is it helping me feed my ever growing blogging addiction. And after 2 days of having this lovely little gadget home, I now have the Blackberry Thumb.
So I guess, I am going to have to take it easy for while and let my thumbs recover but wait...did I just hear an alert... yup the light is flashing...what is it a text, an email...Must check...I can't get it unlocked...darn bandages....This is all tongue and cheek of course, I am really fine and have no bandages on my thumbs and I certainly don't have an addiction....

LOL ahhh the joys of texting its like it is laced with crack! I am like you for the time being Ikeep it simple.
I love your creative use of medical supplies for your ailing thumbs. Yes indeed!
I hear ya on the "crackberry" my hubs got one almost 6 months ago and that meant that momma had to have one too, since I was left with his old piece of crap phone! I'm now addicted to the crack!!
Donovan snapped my phone last night and I am now in the phone shopping process. I want a pink phone.
That is funny!! I needed a good laugh!! Is that toilet paper of kleenex?? LOL
LOL! Enjoy it!
Jen...I love this. I love you. You crack me up!!!!
Lol!
We bought a simple phone a few years ago too. I don't think it texts or anything.
The only "fanciness" I wanted was to have a clock on the top of it (while it's closed).
But a few months ago, I *won* a Blackberry. Seriously. It was the first thing I ever won! And now, I too have sore thumbs.
The advantage though is that my hubby has a hard time using it, because his fingers are so big (yay! lol)
Too funny! I have an iPhone that I am addicted to! They are like crack.
Very funny. Not addictive---hmmmm. Are you sure? Good to see you yesterday. Enjoy your new toy.
No addiction? I'm so disappointed. I love hearing about other people's addictions so I don't feel so bad about my own. dagnabit.
I want an iPhone. But I do love the iTouch I got for Christmas. It rocks.
oh the addictive nature of technology...
*chuckle* If I had a blackberry that cute I think my thumbs would need recovery time too.
I love how your phone has a gender.
aHA! I noticed your last reply was sent via a blackberry---I've been playing with the idea of getting one myself, but am afraid of the addiction!!!!
I bet that would be addicting. I guess it's a good thing we're broke. :)
Very funny! I love the pink colour.....I love anything pink!
we r sooo alike...that's my phone! and rest those thumbs...i need to read ur posts!
You are so funny. Rest your thumbs, your blackberry can't interfere with your blogging!
That's so tiny. How do you hit the right little buttons?
Hee! Is it as painful as old school Nintendo thumbs? :)
we've been needing new phones, too. ours have the pull-up antennas! how old are those!!!!
i love the pink!!!
I so need a new phone. It doesn't have to be a Blackberry. Or an iPhone. It just needs to have a keyboard. I just added texting to my plan a few months ago... and typing on the keypad is getting old.
Get those thumbs on ice!! LOL!
This is precisely why I have avoided getting a BB.
It's darned cute in pink, though!!
I just got a phone like that, only mine is black.....at first I was like, what do I need this for? But oh boy.....how did I live without it before? I finally had to change my settings though to only get my email ever hour b/c it was running out of batteries too quickly. :)
can I tell you something . . . I have never (yes NEVER) sent a text in my life!
ha! Serious huh!?! I've had to cut back a bit cause I ran my bill up way high... oops
Please let me know what hospital you went to...the quality of their work is truly frightening.
Although, nice Scooby Band-aid.
She's beautiful Jen! Now ice those thumbs and get back to texting!
Too cute! I love pink stuff! AND I love texting--been doing it for too long now--, so I'm right there with ya. (It's really easy to do during class, if the need were to arise.) :)
LOL!!!! I just found your blog and that is hilarious! I wouldn't know how to use a blackberry (thankfully -- I'm addicted enough to blogspot and facebook)!!!
Take care of those thumbs. ha

I don't dare get one! Not only would I be glued to the internet at home but also while driving, grocery shopping, and getting my haircut. Yikes!
I went back and forth about a phone with a full keyboard and a regular phone and wound up going with the regular version. I now have complete phone envy. Sigh.
HA! What did we do before all the technology stuff?
I only text when absolutely necessary, I usually have no idea where my cell phone is, and it is rarely charged... I have successfully dodged this bit of addictive technology for now...
Hello...my name is Kate...and I have a crackberry addiction. I EAT. DRINK. SLEEP. with my crackberry. It's a sickness. LOVE the BANDAGE PIC!
I am LOVIN the scooby doo band-aids. And, you must not become addicted. HOw in the world did we all function before portable internet?
