Anything interesting I can do with a Blackberry?

Work is getting me one. I've never had one before. Does it do anything cool?

It makes great phone calls.

Not a whole lot, they're much more of a business tool than a toy.

They're great for keeping your employees on a short leash, except that you ARE the employee...

They don't even make all that good a phone, they're awkwardly shaped & the interface doesn't lend itself well to phone calls. They're great for e-mails, contacts, and calendars though.

But phone calls kill the battery life. I have had a few the 7290 the 8700C etc not much you can do with them unless you want to pay for some programs even then its limited your better off with a windows based phone IMHO. I have one cause work provides them they are great for emails and thats about it.

Bluetooth headset = shape problem solved. There's a good swarm of free programs, and if you've got experience with J2ME programming you can code your own. 🙂

The brick breaker game on the 7100i is fun 😛.
