Hopelessly in love with my blackberry. I come from a paper planner background and have used the Franklin Covey system of planning for years, they have software that integrates with Outlook and just makes Outlook a cooler version of itself and it operates on my blackberry too. I honestly have so many appointments and tasks related to work that I'd be lost without something to keep track of it all and the BB happens to be smaller and handier and do more things besides just be a planner.
I don't really use my smartphone to it's full capacity and rarely surf the net with it unless I need to find something and I'm away from my computer but I have been using it for mapping driving routes as a GPS.
The added plus is that it's also a phone and that reading what some of you use your smartphones for gives me ideas about how to realize a greater potential from it.
I'm not addicted to the point of it taking precedence, when I am face to face with others it takes the backseat and I don't inturrupt face to face interactions with it's intrusion. I love modern technology and appreciate the simple life just as much. Like so many other things it can be carried to excess. I don't enjoy watching people letting technology interfer with social things like dinner time, time out with friends, family or a spouse etc.
Meal time has always been reserved for family time without a TV on where I grew up and still practice that today, even when dining alone.
