Try it, you might like it

Well, for my training company I needed to get some phones, just a few, but business phones since we had outgrown using the personal accounts.My personal phone was bare bones, make and receive calls, no texting, camera, I was lucky to have a few ring tone options. But it had worked just fine, I thought. Yeah, I had seen all of the "gadget" phones and didn't see any use of texting, 'Just call them!". But I got a new phone and figured I might as well get the available features and see if it can really help to grow the business and keep in touch with customers. So I was led to purchase the new Blackberry Tour, looked neat with a keyboard and a nice screen and was told it had so many features I should take a class on how to operate it. Take a class to learn how to use a phone! What had I gotten myself into but I figured I can figure this out on my own plus a had an advantage, a college aged daughter.
After some false starts, a quick search on the "Crackberry" site I was up and running with one tenth of the phones capabilites. What has now made me re-think "Do we need all of these features?" is the ease I now can respond to people from the business, personal and work email accounts and have found why people text, it's just a quick connection, but a connection just as well. I now relish a quick text from my daughter or wife in the middle of some business heavy discussion at work to learn that the "dog has bad breath today or running to the store, do you need anything", it is a nice respite.
