I prefer raspberries. Sweet cherries are nice, too, especially in pie.

Yea I like mine a lot but with one caveat - Is it really necessary to be in touch with anything/one 24/7? Medical emergencies excepted of course.

hello
I watched Four Christmases on my new mini-laptop over a cup of coffee at Starbucks the other night. Free wifi.

Went to London last night- (Big Mistake) Wanted to go from Covent Garden to Leicester Square and the wifes new phone has Google maps on it.. Fantastic--It proved to me that I was starting in the wrong place for where I wanted to get to.

Quite relative really. I function happily enough with my simple cell phone-- no camera, games, music, maps...just basic phone. My son would be, like, lost totally without every last arcane function of his iPhone 3G.

I just got a Blackberry Storm and tried Google maps -- awesome. Unfortunately Google hasn't yet released a version for the Storm so I have to use one for the Curve. It can't access the GPS so I get a generalized location via cell tower triangulation. Can't wait for a version that works with the GPS. I wish I had this when I was in Spain a few weeks back.

I find blackberries useful. Their constant interruption demonstrates to my managers that their time is being wasted in a meeting with mere mortals. Thus the meeting ends...............
and work begins.
and work begins.

Don't mince words
I use Google maps with my Treo 755p. I downloaded it for free.
I prefer blueberries myself.

I enjoy the freedom the bberry provides. I can work about anywhere and provide my customers with the service they need. But would readily admit it is not for everyone. My newest one has a much better web interface which I'm just figuring out all the nuances.

I lived on a BB when I was working. The subscription vs value is a bit pricey now that I am retired. But I can't get Internet service down at my weekend house except through Verizon EVDO data service. With the BB I can turn on the PC data connect service for the few days I am down there (prorated against the monthly charge). It is a better deal than the dedicated data card I was using and I get the mobile email and browsing to boot. Plus an MP3 player and GPS maps.

However, if the company wasn't paying the monthly subscription I don't think I could justify it just for my own personal uses.

I was the company, I use to bike with a send/rec radio, cell phone, PDA, iPod and GPS all mounted on my handle bars because I "Had To", not any more.
I'm retired, you do it!
I have a cell phone for safety and that's that.
Merry Christmas!

I enjoy not being at work when I leave the office. I realize that is not practical for many jobs, but it works for mine and that works for me. I rarely think about my job when I leave the office. That, to me, is worth much more than the increased pay I could get by being more dedicated to my profession.
