Crackberry for dinner any one?

Imagine going out for dinner to Nando's with your best mate and throughout the whole meal she continuously takes out her BlackBerry phone to send an instant message. Arrrrgggghhhh! The joke is that she sent more 'PINGS' instead of having a passionate relationship with Nando's chicken wings and we all know how GOOD Nando's chicken wings are. :-)

Crackberry addict at Nando's

I too own this distracting and addictive device which has its own applications and every aspect of communication keeping you on the move but it causes anti-socialism in a room full of people with plenty to say. I'm not saying that I'm against this unique device because if everyone had one we would no longer waste money on credit as BBM (Blackberry Messenger) is FREE, although we pay a small fee of £5 a month (different networks vary) ERRRR like T-Mobile who charge £11 a month if you are on Pay-As-You-Go. KMT! However, the contents of our lives are sucked into this gadget and there is no reason to meet up with a friend for dinner to discuss boyfriend problems when we can 'PING' one another instantly. SIGH!

The Blackberry is a new addition to the computer family. Blackberry Bold, Curve, Storm, bla bla bla, which is like the Apple Family, Apple Mac, iPhone, iPad. Whatever! Who gives a shit cause I don't. This one simple device makes the relevance of having a laptop or computer pointless. I recently just purchased a laptop an now I hardly use it as I've been captured like the Illumanti did to Rhianna.

It is like having a mini computer in your pocket with all the key features that you need. Instant Messaging can be compared to MSN which takes away the notion that the Blackberry is JUST A PHONE!!!!

Some say that the Blackberry is the best mobile around and that everyone should have one. I partially agree with this statement, as it does have its benefits, I'm not gonna lie. But the types of technology being developed is outrageous. Soon our passport, bank details and oyster card will all be on one SIMPLE card.

The Crackberry phones are dominating our world.

DANGER! Please beware. It's more addictive than a drug and will over-power your mind and cause you to...

Oh I Got A PING. Sorry....

Where was I? Cause you forget the fact it is JUST A PHONE!!

2010 SAYS: "PPPPPPP PING PING PING MEEEEE..."

1996 SAYS:"BLACKBERRY? AINT THAT A FRUIT THAT GROWS ON A TREE IN OUR GARDEN?"
