My dad got one last year and I remember he played with it like a little kid plays with a new toy on Christmas for about a week. Then the next thing I know he is swearing at it and telling it to shut up. Why is this you ask, well now instead of only getting his email on his computer it goes to his blackberry as well, therefore bothering him throughout the entire day with every new addition to his inbox. Blackberries are cool but I have a feeling they are a nuisance as well.

There is one thing I find funny about blackberries and that is that they have ringtones like any cell phone. I think I find this amusing because I normally associate blackberries with successful business men and women. I find blackberry ringtones to be funny because I just can’t picture some uptight investment banker with Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy or something like it ringing on his blackberry. Do people with blackberry ringtones only download conservative songs by Billy Joel or Eric Clapton? I really wonder what blackberry ringtones there are to chose from, but I admit they are a little harder to find than ringtones for conventional cell phones. However, as I have stated before, I am not overly computer savvy so for all I know you can use regular phone ringtones for your blackberry and you don’t need specific blackberry ringtones.

Maybe one day soon when I have finished law school, my firm will consider me important enough to give a blackberry to and I can be the attorney in the office whose blackberry plays Redneck Women, wouldn’t that be a hoot?
