My first realisation of the brand Blackberry was when a few years ago playing golf with a mutual friend ,he kept rambling about him continuously receiving emails on his Blackberry. I was not honestly impressed for then am a Nokia man.
How times have changed, my conversion or appreciation for this particular device was not immediate though.
It was by accident that i started using a Blackberry. Few years back i started using PDA phone and O2 was my first one.
Then what happens? i lost it when my car was broken while i was performing Friday prayers.
I bought a Dopod, a version almost similar to O2, again i lost it. I left it just for a few minutes in my golf buggy and Presto it was gone!!!!
Along came the Blackberry, i was immediately hooked to it, it has the simplicity yet offer the best functionality for a busy executive with its push email and easy keypad.
Life was a bliss, you are connected to your office even while travelling, you look cool with a Blackberry in a pouch and better still you are able to relate to total strangers at airports, trains,hotel lounges who are also Blackberry "warriors".You can take photos with reasonable clarity and posted it on your blog as you fancy.
So what happens then? Your Blackberry suddenly becomes "haywire" reminiscent of the recent movie i watched "eagle eye"(not that bad..). I sent to the dealer for repair and what's the response? It will be sent to Kl and if not able to be repaired my Blackberry will be sent all the way to Canada.Wow!!!
Like a loved one, you only realise how important they are in your life when they are no longer around, of course not having a Blackberry even for a day should not create such a melodrama but it's close man.Really how much a man now rely on his personal communication tool.
You do experience once a while a product that comes into our lives and revolutionise our workday routine totally ranging from automobiles, sneaker shoes,Sony Walkman to name a few but none so as dramatic as a hand phone. Hands up anyone who doesn't have a hand phone?

Like a person who has lost his way, i think i better go back to the ever reliable Nokia,thank you very much.But then how i yearn for my Blackberry Bold!!!!
