On Tuesday my Blackberry died. It was on with a fully charge battery was fully when the device shut off and refused to turn back on. I'm currently waiting for a new battery from RIM, and hoping that a new battery is all I will need. In the meantime I have a loaner phone from my carrier.
I would have thought that lack of e-mail would be the biggest issue. For the first day or two, it was odd not to be able to check e-mail throughout the day. However, the biggest inconvenience so far has been the lack of a calendar. I would make plans to do something and think, "Oh, I'll put that in my calendar," before realizing that I couldn't. The loaner phone has no calendar.
I didn't realize just how dependent I'd become on having a smartphone until the Blackberry died. Now that I've become more forgetful, having a PDA that reminds when to do stuff and where to go has been extremely helpful. And now that I don't have one I feel a little lost. Sad, but true.
