Reply #11: I had one, hated it, gave it to another manager

It's not that it was hard to use, I just didn't see the worth in it, but my attitude is that I refuse to sell my soul to the company.

I only check my email twice per day at work and sometimes only once. If something is urgent, I will get a call. If the technology works for you, go for it, but in my case it was simply robbing time in which I could use to do more productive things so I saw it as little more than a toy and a distraction. However, I was kind of biased against them in the first place because they piss me off when I'm in a meeting and several people's crackberries are going off and they are constantly checking their messages and distracting others.
