Need to know-email checking via cell, blackberry

[SlowButSteady]

Some call them Crackberry.

I haven't gotten that attached to mine.

When I'm traveling, I forward my email to my iPhone. Otherwise, it's faster to type on a computer.

I don't read email on mine, but I do frequently use text messages and and the organizer features. I spend a fair amount of time out of the office, and it's the easiest way for me to stay on top of things.

I don't even have a job, but I use mine constantly. It blinks all the time (mostly about Facebook and I haven't figured out how to turn that off).

I decided to get a BB because a co-volunteer of mine was always so available, just because he had it. It makes my to-do list so short, because I handle things as they come (most of the time. )

I'm required to have a BB for work. When I'm working or traveling for work I check it pretty frequently. Even if you turn off all the audible or vibrate alerts for emails, I haven't found a way to turn off the blinking red light when you get a new message, and it's pretty hard to ignore that.

On the other hand, I have absolutely no cell signal at my house or for miles around, so I can't check it there. Even though I work from home when I'm not out visiting customers, I have to say that's not such a bad thing.

Duct tape. Works like a charm.

Haha, I already have a rubber band holding the BB together as I've dropped it so many times.

I do want to see the red light sometimes, though...I'd like something I could turn on and off.

Well, if you put a little piece on the light when you don't want to see it, and remove it when you do, you've got it made. I do that for my bike computer because I really dislike seeing the speed, but I want the stats at the end of the ride. I've also used a fabric bandaid.

You could also put a fat rubberband on that covers the light, since you already have rubberbands holding it together. Or a little piece of fabric under your existing rubberbands. That would be easier to remove and replace as needed.
