Have you gotten into the blackberry craze yet?

Since the Treo 600 came out, I’ve been a Treo 600 user and I finally switched to the Blackberry 8830 World Edition a couple of months back. Honestly, I didn’t understand what the big deal was. It seemed that most of what the Blackberry could do, the Treo could do (except the Treo is fatter than the Blackberry).

My attitude completely changed now that I’ve been using the Blackberry more and more and I can proudly say that “Yes! I am officially a Crackberry!” 

Here are some things that I can now do with my Blackberry that I either had a hard time doing or could not do with my Treo:

1. Integrate easily with Gmail.
2. Integrate with Google Calendar <– LOVE this.
3. Use my phone internationally on local networks (by replacing the SIM card).
4. Have much better navigation of the internet
5. Have seemless integration with my work mail server.
6. Use many social networking applications on my Blackberry (they have special software for Blackberry).

However, there are some things I miss about a Treo, the most of which is the TOUCH screen. At the same time, I’m very surprised at how easily I’ve adapted to surfing the net withOUT the touch screen.

One major tip if you’re thinking about using a blackberry: You better be VERY disciplined with yourself about NOT consistently checking your e-mail. It will consume your life if you are not careful!
