As I noted below, I’ve given up my Blackberry. And it is almost as bad as that week that I gave up Jack Daniels.THE WOMAN pretty much told me to drop the phone or find a new place to sleep at night. It took a few days of soul searching to decide what I was going to do. In the end I came to my senses and gave up my connectivity.
It’s been tough at times. Like in the middle of the night when I wake up and my Blackberry is just laying there dead, with no new e-mails waiting on me. No longer can I un-holster it during a boring meeting and pretend that I’m taking care of something important, when I’m really just checking in on the blog. Yeah, it’s been tough, but so far I’m hanging in there.
The new phone is pretty cool, in its own limited way. I can now shoot videos and take pictures which is something the Blackberry still can’t do. Already I’ve discovered that it takes a four foot drop better than a Blackberry.

Not having instant access to my calendar is the biggest draw back. I had gotten so used to not having to think about my task list and appointments that I am struggling to keep up with that stuff now. I have an older model Palm handheld, but the tech guys at work haven’t been able to make it work with our new firewall configuration.
Oh well, that’s the story of my life.
