THE BLACKBERRY STORM 2. ANOTHER REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT...

Ok. I took the plunge.

Yesterday I went out and made the decision. I purchased my first smart phone...

I bought the new BlackBerry Storm 2...

It sure looks pretty. All shiny and new. Big touch screen...

As an investment in my real estate business, the purchase was long overdue...

Afterall, my old phone was just a phone. It didn't have a camera. I was in the Stone Age...

And I strive to be a tech and social media savvy agent. Heck, I even tweet...

So I am excited about the phone, yet I still find myself wondering...

What do I do with the thing?

Ken, I have had a CrackBerry for Years now, and couldnt live without one. It has the best Email push of any phone out there. Just be sure to sync it with outlook and it is an awesome business tool

Enjoy it! Practice with it and when in doubt, ask any teenager if you have questions on how to use it!

Key - I just bought a blackberry curve about a month ago. What a great investment it was.

Hi Ken, Maybe Erin could help you out. ;o) Kids know more about technology than adults do. Have fun!

Good Morning Ken! Good for you! I've had a Blackberry for years and currently have the Blackberry Curve. Looking to change to the Storm2...but haven't made up my mind. Hope you like it. I'll have to ck in with you and see what you think.

Didn't know how to use it - now I can't live without it! Best thing I've done for myself & my business recently.

I've been looking at one of those. Please post again and let us know how you like it.

I currently have the Curve, and have been wondering about upgrading/switching to the Storm. Look forward to hearing how you like it.

Hi Sea, Leslie, Lani, Olga, Shirley, Robert, Laxson, and Robert. Wow. What a positive response.

I have found learning on the fly fairly easy. A bit overwhelming the first day...

I am very excited about its uses for work.

Erin will be a little tech genius!

Thanks for stopping in,

Ken

Ken, I bought a black berry curve about 8 months ago, I don't know how I got along without it before! Good luck and let us know what you think once you get used to it.

Would love a blackberry! You'll figure it out in no time.....

I took a Verizon service person around looking at condos and she taught me more in a couple hours than i learned my first 2 months.

I love my Blackberry and I know you will love yours as well! Have fun with it Ken.

Welcome to the "Crack-berry" club. I'm sure you'll be addicted to that thing before you know it!

Hi Daniel, Terrie, David, Marilyn, and Mike. Thanks so much for stopping by.

I have waffled for a few months. I phone? BlackBerry? What is this Droid?

In the end, I wanted Verizon service and went for the Storm.

I love hearing all your positive responses!

Thanks again,

Ken

Ken-I have had my Blackberry for almost 2 years now, and I couldn't function without it. Enjoy it!

Hey Ken i am in the same boat. I plan on heading out in the next couple of weeks to look some form of smartphone. By the way is that Candyland the phone is on?

remeber no texting while driving my friend, even though clients want info NOW! The first time you wake up at 4 am and check you email.....well dont do it.

your friend Evan

I picked the Blackberry Tour recently! About a month in I realized how much in the dark ages I was! It has made a big impact to my productivity. It does become a habit though! So tempting to check each email as it chimes in! Have fun!

I think that you will enjoy the new phone. I have recently bought the Blackberry Curve 8310 and totally enjoy it.

Hi Don, Erin, Evan, Roy, and Joe. Thanks for stopping in!

Yes, it is a Candyland table!

I am very excited. I was so caught up in the brand, I didn't make a decision.

The more I read how pleased everyone is, the more I am excited to learn.

Thanks again,

Ken

It's actually a table? Cute. I'm strugling with the decision of the smartphone. It would make life easier, I'm sure, but I don't know if I can do such a big phone. I like my smaller phones.

Hi Crystal. Yes, it is a Candyland table. Complete with two chairs, a drawer, and game pieces!

It does feel like a lot of phone to be carrying around...

Thanks for stopping in,

Ken

Enjoy Ken ! But, I am back to Backberry curve 8320. Didn't like touch phone concept much. I really enjoy punching the QWERY keys rather tham using the styles !! The track ball is ultimate !
