I've been using a PDA of one form or another for the last nine years.

I don't own an MP3 player, an ebook reader, a day planner, or a _simple_ pocket calculator[1]. Yet, amazingly, I listen to music, read ebooks, don't miss many meetings, and my meeting minutes are electronic, so I can futz with them after the meeting and send them to the appropriate people.

My current pocket doohickey now is also my cell phone (Samsung SCH-i760) so I carry one less boat-anchor around. Life is good.

Enjoy your Blackberry.

One suggestion: There's plenty of short fiction available, just the right length for long meetings.

Regards,
Jack Tingle

[1] So sue me. I'm old school enough that I use an RPN scientific calculator, and PDAs can't quite cut that.
