Open Thread: Whither Blackberry? What's your fallback plan?

BlackBerry shutdown closer after ruling - U.S. Business - MSNBC.com
[ via Slashdot ] Damn, this could be pretty big stuff, eh? I'm guessing at least a few of you out there are rabid Blackberry users -- I've never even used one myself, but I have friends who live on theirs. So, I'm curious: How do you feel about the possibility of losing Blackberry service? If it went away today, what would you use instead? Do you have a fallback plan? 24 Comments

Used the right way, I have actually had a great time of integrating my BlackBerry into my personal GTD system. When I joined the GTD love train a few months ago, I considered buying a Treo, because, well, The David seems to be pimping Palm on every other page. And it felt weird to carry around a BlackBerry AND a cell phone -- I'd much rather just carry one electronic "box" around. My job provided me with a BlackBerry, though, and to save some dough, I implemented the officially santioned "How to use Outlook for GTD" methods described on David Allen's web site, and when I enter Next Action Items on my Blackberry, I make sure they're preceded by "@Office" or "@Home" or whatever. I find it works great. I still hate carrying it around on weekends, though, and I've been tempted to start working with a Hipster PDA, so I'm not barraged with work e-mails on a Saturday afternoon. » POSTED IN:
