You know you're a Blackberry (Crackberry) Addict when...

[jfteran]

Okay this is simple... Finish the sentence:

"You know you're a Crackberry Addict when..."

I'll start it...

You know you're a Crackberry Addict when you're looking for something you've lost and you actually think you have a "Search" function that can help you out...

When you got mad at your PC for not having an AutoText feature.

...when you are typing on your PC and you keep hitting the shift key while trying to type a number.

[daphne]

... when you panic if it's out of your sight.

[crisambo]

...when you send more messages to your spouse/significant other, than make the phone call. . .

This is hilarious, I do this quite often and end up with !)* instead of 108 and laugh when I see what I've done.

[lraed74]

When you wake up, hit snooze on the alarm clock and then grab your BB to see if she's got any new messages for you.

[UTLonghorn2099]

...you have to set a alarm on your BB to remind you to log in to your hotmail/yahoo/gmail/etc. email account once every three months so your account doesn't get deleted.

GUILTY

and....
you start trying to manipulate and convince your friends to get BB's even if they aren't technology smart, just to add more PINS and contact info in your own Berry. While praying to the BB gods for more apps that wont come along with FLASH

Sooo guilty... I got 3 of my friends to get BB and my girlfriend is about to get a Pearl... I think when you get a BB and you love it you should get immediate stock in RIM or some type of advertisement endorsements cuz we try to make others get BBs!

I agree completely, someone email RIM about this customer incentive/improvement plan?

[gixxer]

Or hit snooze on BB Alarms Pro and read all your email before you get out of bed. Also check weather and news before getting out of bed.

I had the same issue but since getting the Bold, I've been having it go into bedside mode. I was ok if one color was flashing to ignore it but if it was another, I just had to look

I purposely wake up in the middle of the night to check for new messages/PINS.

[dyrianq]

... when you get an instant urge to check your email when you see a LED light flashing

[JGBerry]

...when...

1) your sense of touch and hearing have improved as a result of feeling and listening for the blackberry vibrating in your belt or pocket

2) you know when you are about to receive a message due to the way the keyboard lags while in the middle of typing

3) everyone at works bypasses the IT department for Blackberry questions and go right to you

4) instead of asking someone to remind you or call you later about something...you tell them to "just send me an email"

5) you use your blackberry to get out of awkward social situations

[daphne]

... when you see someone else using their BlackBerry, or any phone, and you are compelled to immediately get out your BlackBerry.

How true that is. Its like when someone else yawns.

[scorpius]

When you start missing Double Space when using MS Word.

You choose the 8900 over the Bold or the Storm because it let's you type faster.

You actually are intrigued when someone next to you in the plane uses a 7730 (this really happened to me )

[dwood721]

You wake up and check BB Forums from your BB before you check the weather or anything else

I plead quilty, I have 2 BlackBerries now.

... when you get an instant urge to check your email when you see a LED light flashing

isn't that natural???

1) your sense of touch and hearing have improved as a result of feeling and listening for the blackberry vibrating in your belt or pocket

That could be possible!

2) you know when you are about to receive a message due to the way the keyboard lags while in the middle of typing

I call it, that seventh sense!!

3) everyone at works bypasses the IT department for Blackberry questions and go right to you

Well I am in IT

4) instead of asking someone to remind you or call you later about something...you tell them to "just send me an email"

Yea, I've done that.

5) you use your blackberry to get out of awkward social situations

Definitly!!

... when you see someone else using their BlackBerry, or any phone, and you are compelled to immediately get out your BlackBerry.

Done that from time to time. (depending on who I saw lol)



When you get really into the whole why the iPhone is no BlackBerry battle..... I mean conversation.

when you spend more time with your blackberry then your friends
