-Grownupness: No one over 21 should have an Sidekick. But is the iPhone just Sidekick 2.0? Grown Folks BB -BB Messenger: The Real Twitter -Keypad: You want a real keypad, nt these small ass pop up letters -Plan: Wild cheaper than the $65 a month I'd be kicking out for the iPhone -Video: The new Bold can catch video. Very important to a serial blogger liek myself
-Maintenance: Problem? Just go to the Geek Squad. Instead of praying my BB is still under warrenty -No Trackball: It always jams -90s Babies: 90s Babies respect the 3G -iPod: It's an iPod too! -App Store: Let's face it. BB Apps are wack. Blackberry 411 aint cutting it
They Both Lose On:
-Battery Life: Don't talk on the phone with either. You finished yet? You're finished!
I tried to get rid of my berry. Really I did. But every phone store had these same wack flip phones. I felt square-ish when I held them up. Made me want to post about myself on GoOldHead.com.
How would I write my blogs on the go when it takes 3 clicks for 'C'? When people need my contact, do I write it for them on a piece of paper? Looks like I'm destined for carpel tunnel syndrome. Me and my boy William are slaves to it.
As I was typing this entry, something amazing happened. My blackberry started talking to me. We had an insightful though weird conversation. Then my Blackberry asked me to post the conversation on my blog:
Why can't I get rid of you?!?!?!
Once you go Black, you never go back
Errr....did I just type that?
No, it's me...
My God?
No, your Blackberry
WTF? GTFOH!
Watch it before I reconcile all your emails without you asking
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...it really is you! Why did you decide to talk to me? Or am I just going BB crazy?
No, it's really me. Have you ever typed in this tone before? Without all those dumbass dots?
Well, no...
There you go then
Can I ask you a question?
Anything Why are you so addictive? Are you a drug? Is their some kind of technology that you get a hold of my brain?
No, you're confusing me with Steve Jobs. I'm just the greatest thing you've ever got in contact with
There has to be more...I was addicted to my sidekick too...
Then you came to your senses. Anyone over 18 shouldn't have a Sidekick anymore. You're gonna run your company from your Slide? Send important attachments via LX? I've ran through about 11 blackberries. 8100s, 8800s that mysteriously stop charging, a few Curves...
It was all a test
A test of what?!?! Patience?
Gratitude. I made you buy more for mistreating me. Think of me like a girlfriend that you're meaning to break up with everyday, but the sex makes you stay. With me the text makes you stay
Were you worried about the iPhone?
Ha! It dies after 30 minutes. I know you weren't THAT stupid. I'm Mrs. Realiable.
Mrs?
Bitch aint I?
To Be Continued Tomorrow w/ Part 2

-Getting rid of my Blackberry. Going to see how it last for a week. If it works, I'll get rid of it for good. Will check e-mail via laptop 3 times a day. That way I have more time to focus on being creative. Not gonna go as far as the tabs on the journal though. More like the Do It, Delegate It, Defer It system in Getting Things Done. Right now it feels like I work for T-Mobile. Let's see how long this last -Played basketball for 10 hours on Saturday. It feels like I was playing suicide with 500 handballs. The jumper is still there so lemme know if you're feeling lucky. We're going to run every weekend. Tomorrow morning I'm going to walk to the office. One of the guys on court said he did that and dramatically improved his stamina. So I'm bussin out the bumble bee 95 Air Maxes in the morning. -15% into Conversations With God. Review coming as soon as it's over -This is my first year with allergies. I swear it's a government conspiracy. I rub my right eye uncontrollably. It's a movie to blow my nose because it itches at the same time. My throat is constantly irritated (pause). Sneezing every 18.5 seconds. It's a never ending battle you can't win, like the war on crime/terror/drugs/Chris Brown. Any tips on how to fight it lemme know

I can work with everything else. Send all inquires to Sickamore@TheFamousFirm.com. Send soon while I still have my Blackberry. Don't have t send official resume. A letter explaining yourself will be sufficient.
P.S. If anyone has that new Ozone Magazine with Shawty Lo on the cover, pls pls pls send me the scan of my article.
One of those people who walk around aimlessly with electronic devices attached to their ears. One of those people who talk with so much passion and volume that you would think they were solving world hunger or leading America out of a recession. One of those people who look like they're in a Corporate Star Trak episode. One of those people like Busta Rhymes. I've deeply hated those people for so long; and now I hate myself.
My berry volume is incredible low. I think it happened while eating with my blackberry on the table. I was mixing honey in my tea to help my sore throat and it got all over the device. Now people can hear me clear but they sound like trapped 8 year olds in a 100 foot deep pit. So I borrow Mike from The Famous Firm's bluetooth headset (he uses it for driving) last night. Eureka! It works like a charm. I can hear everyone now! But now I'm a slave to the it. The bluetooth has a Mike Tyson bite on my ear and refuses to let go. I refuse to buy blackberry #8 or even send it back for a new one.
For now, I'll just accept this horribly annoying creature I've become. Not going to get another phone until the touch screen blackberry drops. Or maybe, just maybe, I'll send it back to get fixed while recovering from my root canal Wednesday.
I'll keep you posted. Feel free to leave ideas in the suggestion box below. Sent to ThankGodImFamous.com via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
