Read More →TweetReally. While reading my recent issue of Women’s Health magazine (yes, I am a subscriber–no jokes please), I came across an interesting tid-bit in the SCOOP! section. According to a “recent survey by OkCupid.com”, iPhone users have had more sexual partners than those of us who use Blackberry or Android devices. As funny (and probably unbelievable) as this sounds, Women’s Health stated that “different types may attract people with different sexual proclivities”. Relationship expert, Logan Levkoff PhD had this to say about this finding: “An iPhone user may be more creative and explorative. A blackberry us more corporate so the person using it might prioritize work over dating.” Snickers… And as for Android users? They are the lowest in terms of sexual partners by age 30, so are they just not sexual people? I am feeling extra sensitive now about carrying Chloe, my Blackberry Bold. Here are the stats: Average ...

Which is why I nearly spit out my tea while reading an email I received from a local PR firm about U.S. Cellular—get this: they are offering all of their phones FREE in their stores beginning Friday, 12/17. Here’s the deal: Every phone is free in U.S. Cellular stores from 12/17-12/24, perfect for last minute gifts.

Read More →Tweet“I used to say that my ex boyfriend’s Blackberry was his mistress…”— my friend Danielle. It is so easy these days to become addicted to technology. It is everywhere around us and we are virtually force fed into getting the latest gadgetry and tech item on the market. Most of us carry smartphones to email, text, tweet, and check the Internet, and we cannot seem to break away from them, even when we are with our loved ones spending quality time. But when your man cannot seem to fit you in because he stays on his Blackerry or iPhone—what’s a girl to do? I too struggle with the “Blackberry is his mistress” syndrome. In my relationship, he is always plugged into the Matrix because it is a part of his job. It’s a necessary evil and it pays the bills, so who am I to come in between that. But ...
Read More →TweetMy Blackberry is my passion! Sorry iPhoners, but unless the iPhone has an app to turn itself into a Blackberry device, I am team BB all the way! With this being said, I am a beauty and fashion nut who likes to get her fix on the go, and downloading user friendly applications that involve health and beauty as well as fashion is fun and keeps me busy! Here are my top 5 fashion and beauty applications for the Blackberry device: 5. Elle Web Shortcut I have been a fan of Elle Magazine since I was about 16 years old. I no longer subscribe to the fashion magazine (damn recession!) but I can get my Elle fix with their amazing Elle web shortcut application. It makes it easy to surf their site, find out what the trends are, as well as read articles that I feel are beneficial to my ...
Read More →TweetMy Blackberry ‘Chloe’ is like my Lois Lane to my Clark Kent. My Robin to my Batman. My Mark Anthony to my Jennifer Lopez. I am sure you get the drift. For over five years, I have been a continued Blackberry RIM supporter and customer. Despite the “hipness” of the iPhone and the popularity of the Android, me and my Blackberry will never part. Our President carries a Blackberry (and all of the White House staff) so if it’s good enough for him and his staff, then it’s good enough for me! Why am I so hooked? I have no idea. I guess the BBM feature is the major reason. Most BB’ers use their BBM more than they text. Of course I love getting email on my phone (I have over 10 emails accts on my 9700, womp womp) but now all smartphones allow email on their units. The BB ...
Read More →Tweet…only for a day or two? Do you think it would be a bad thing? Would it be so awful to unplug from the Matrix that is the Internet by not checking your email, not logging onto Twitter or Facebook, not giving Google a second glance, and turning off the Blackberry? Have you ever thought about taking a break from the Internet and technology in order to give yourself a rest? Could there be a healing factor? Recently, I came into contact with a woman who said that since she has banned the Internet from her life, she has been happier and healthier. So much so that she decided to get rid of her Internet in her home and no longer has a smartphone. She said unplugging was the best thing for her—and potentially, it could’ve saved her life. This woman did not want to be identified on this website, ...
Read More →TweetAs many of my repeat readers know, I am a faithful Blackberry user and enthusiast. I have been a RIM Blackberry user since 2006, and despite the “coolness” of an iPhone, I pledge to stay with the device that I like most. One of the cool features Blackberry is known for is BBM or Blackberry Messenger, which allows Blackberry users to connect to one another through instant messenger with the use of a pin that is assigned to each Blackberry device. Cnectd works much the same way, but it allows users of different phone types to instant message one another. The app is currently available for Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia, and Android devices currently. You can chat, share images, locations, and it synchs with your Facebook updates. I first learned about Cnectd on Twitter, and succumbed to the peer pressure of downloading the free app on my Bold. Currently, I only ...
