Crackberry

I got my hands on a Blackberry today (for testing purposes, naturally), courtesy of  Computing Services. It’s an impressive little gadget, which does exactly what it says on the tin – it synchronises with your Exchange mail, contacts and calendar, and gives them to you in a very usable package (especially when compared with my Nokia).

But.

It is just too easy to take it out and check for email. Too easy. And I check my email too often anyway. I’ve only had it a few hours and already I understand the Crackberry nickname.

I’ll probably miss it when I give it back, despite being yet another gadget, and a large one at that. Even so, I won’t be asking for one of my own. It does its job a little too well.
