I've got a brand new Blackberry Bold sitting in front of me.  What do I do with it? :huh:

Yes.... I have no personal experience with this... :shifty:

Anyway, you can install Facebook on it. :)  I also have Google Latitude on it so I can stalk people, and they can stalk me.  I'd be happy to stalk you if you'd like a stalker. :cool:

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I can barely figure out how to dial the damn thing. :lol:

It's a locked down work phone, so I'm not sure I can install a whole lot of apps.  But it does have Facebook - maybe I should start using it again.  :mellow:

And BBMs are free.  So I just have to figure out what a BBM is.

It means Blackberry message[ing].

I don't know anything else.

Beeb, it's the same thing as ICQ, Yahoo IM, etc.

I use it occasionally for work purposes, but 99% of the time I use it to message my brother's blackberry.

They just toss you a phone and didn't give a quickie lecture on how to use it? Sheesh.

It appears to be par for the course in this office.

They left me sitting in the lobby for 20 minutes thinking I was with the media, and they sure as hell weren't going to let me into the building! :D

Discipline is key. I turn mine off, religiously, at 7pm every day. It turns itself on when I wake up each morning so I can check for day-ruining e-mails ahead of time and prepare. I also set my calendar appointments to alert me at 7am so I know my daily schedule while I'm doing my commute.

Used properly, a Blackberry is a powerful tool. Used improperly, it turns you into a workplace ringwraith.
