Anyone Carry 2 BlackBerry's?

[bc7]

While I HIGHLY anticipate the release of the Bold here in America, I currently am using an unlocked 8700c for my work phone. The Bold will replace my 1st Generation iPhone as my personal device, but I am trying to decide if I want to replace my 8700c with something else, or if I should carry two berries.

Just curious to know if anyone else does this, or if I truly am just sick as my wife likes to say.

It is NOT unusual to use 2 berries but it sometimes become difficult to manage 2 phones .. both of which are a little bulky in nature. But if your work allows you to use the bold even for personal use, i think the bold should be capable of handling all your work requirements as well as personal stuff.

Of course iPhone is a different league altogether. I personally feel there user interface or look n feel for some of the general usage things like music player, browser is a little bit better to look (BBF Mods - Please do not crucify me for this :smile:)

I personally don't carry two active Berrys, but I know people who do-usually a Pearl and one of the Qwerty based models.

I do keep a backup in a desk drawer "just in case".

Same here, I think lots of folks here do....

I sure wish they would develop a BB that can have two sim cards. One sim for work, and one sim for personal....That would be sweet.

I carry a Curve for work and a non-berry for personal. However, once the Bold comes out, I will use that for my personal. I will be covered in berries.

I just bought my 3rd. Carry two.

[juwaack68]

I have 1 for work and 1 for personal.

During the day, my personal one stays on my desk and I carry the work one around with me. In the evenings and on the weekend, the work one stays on the counter and I carry the personal one with me. Unless I'm on call that week, then both both go with me.

8130 Pearl for personal use, 8830 WE for work.

I wish I had two though. Probably when the Javelin comes to town.

[Cory Scheuer]

2 for me 8300 for personal, and 8820 for work (my company and my full time job)

[aikenbbpearl]

Personal Pearl-BIS Work 8830-BES. No problems with the different keyboards. Different audible signals for the two Blackberrys. I'm hooked.

[mjgs1971]

8800 for work.

8700 for work.

Cruel.

I am so excited to know that there are others with the same addiction that I have. I guess Crackberries really do exist.

hopefully some day for me.

I carry a Curve for my personal BB and carry a 7290 for work. Hate the 7290, it's heavy and makes me unbalanced with the curve on one side and it on the other.

[BBHorrigan]

i rock two, one for work one for personal. I'd use one, but sometimes i need to tether

[ashworth]

I have two-ish. One for the family and on from work. Makes life nice an easy.

[bc7]

Very interesting to hear everyones response so far. Makes me re-think whether or not I want to get rid of my 8700c for a KRZR or some other flip phone.

[The BlackBerry Kid]

i think carrying them both on your waste is a little wierd, i would carry the work one on the belt and my play one in a pouch in my pocket to clear up the clutter.

bc7, get a smaller blackberry, like the pearl for personal, it is small and compact and non bulky, it will make you wonder why you every wanted a flip phone.

[Ghillie]

I am more than weird, then. Three. Count them... Three:
8700 on the BES from work.
8320 with a CONUS number and email/browser loaded plan. QWERTY
8300 with a T-Mobil D SIM tied to a Euro carrier loaded plan. QWERTZ

Don't ask, but there are reasons...

[cummins king]

i carry two, a mike bb, and the curve

[devnull]

I carry a BB for personal use and a crappy cheapo nokia for work...What a silly state of affairs we are in that we have to carry two devices. No offense to anyone.
