I don't think I would want to leave it at home tho !

This kind of reminds me of the "How many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" question.

You could find out if you really wanted to, but why would you really want to?

Aww, that makes me miss Montana.
I lived in Red Lodge back when there were only 2 cell companies that worked at all in the state.. Verizon, and "Cellular One" (Now known as Alltel)

Anyway. I haven't had my blackberry even ON in the last 2 months, so I'll say I can definitely live without it. Although there are some little features I miss, I got to the point where I hated getting my email all the time.
Oh, and it was broken and tmobile sucks and makes it hard to replace.

After all this talk about them though, I might go back to it for a few days, just to remember what it was like.
I will say it's a lot cheaper NOT to have one.. and with gas prices these days... ick... it's becoming a car vs phone battle... *already lost my tv, and internet *

Absolutely not. Before I had mine, I'd grab the one my boyfriend owned and mess around with it... now, I go to the store and price check any big purchase... was watching Iron Man on DVD and pulled up the Trivia page on Imdb... not to mention all the email/IM/pictures I can now enjoy without having to be in front of a computer

I don't function well without it. That is why when my wife and I vacation, we often take cruises.

I could go without my BlackBerry but... it might not be pretty. haha


For the first time I feel the future might hold something different for me. It's possible I'm fooling myself but I'm willing to take the risk.

there is the very occasional day i forget my BB at home when i go to work.. i feel naked. It's like a part of my body, it just doesn't feel right if its not there.

now that being said, i do go backpacking a couple times a year, and on those occasions, BB stays at home (no signal in the mountains), and i absolutely have no issue..

i think its very related to environment. when i am in an urban setting, i want my BB.. when i am in the middle of nowhere, i can live without it.

I hope it would never come to the point where I would be without it, so I say "NO".

I could live without it but I wouldn't want to. I think anybody could do the same if they had to. But who in their right mind would want to?

I've always kept my phones with me 24/7 and now that I've got a Curve with unlimited email and internet access it's even worse! I could live without it for about... five minutes, but that's it.

I have only had it for a month. It would be very difficult to go back to a regular cellphone. Hard to imagine.
