Actually, everyone I’ve talked to that NEEDS to be notified on important stuff – ala the movie scene where all the government folks at a the big dinner start getting called out because the end of the world is happening, uses a blackberry. The iphone just doesn’t cut it.
And the funny thing is how many Apple “fan-atics” will give these guys grief.
With all the apps the iphone is starting to look like a useful ( if expensive ) little device, but it isn’t the holy grail. So I’m not surprised you went with a blackberry.
But it did sound like you were trying to talk yourself into an iphone 😉
