Well, I did it. I made friends (well sort of) with the Blackberry and, as of today, I'm still confused by all the bells and whistles of the Blackberry Curve. I do have a few gripes - AT&T Wireless/Cingular or whatever the hell they are calling themselves do NOT have alot of ringtones for the Blackberry 8300 aka "Curve". So, last night, I had to go and upload a song to Mobile17.com and generate a ringtone. Great, right? Well, Mobile17 DOESN'T have this model listed - so with that, I was beyond stressed! I finally was able to get that to work, but then I had the lovely task of importing my contacts.

Can I say, "HUH". I'm normally pretty self sufficient with the computer stuff, but this had me downing an ice coffee like it was a shot of Cuervo. It. Stressed. Me. Out. I had the speaker thing going for the phone but I don't know how the hell I did that. I had the synch thing working finally, but couldn't transfer music or files. I made the mistake of falling asleep with it on the bed and every. 10. minutes from 4:30 a.m. on, the damn thing would BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - I guess that's when the junkmail is sent. In my sleep, I booted it off the bed quicker than when Shadow is snoring (yes, the cat can snore!). Then I had to get updated contact info from a bunch of people because my Razr had an old SIM card so I lost many of my contacts. What. The. @*@*#$. And, that will be an never-ending process.

So, I guess we're going to have a bit rocky road ahead, but let me tell you - I felt like quite the little PR rep when I was able to answer a question for a contact quickly. No logging into my mail and having clients/contacts, etc. on delay. I guess this means I really am on call 24/7. But, to quote one of my new favorite songs - "Is it better to burn out than to fade away".

**Note: while the Treo had the better rebate of $200, for what I need, I needed the Blackberry for function. *sigh* so I will only get back $100 from AT&T/Cingular/whatever. However, I did have a bit of extra money I have coming in so it all evens out in the wash, I guess. It still cost about the same as those Gucci Sandals I wanted. *sigh* one day...
