Posted on October 4, 2008 by Ben Cecka
I was lucky enough to hit the A-list at work for an upgrade to a BlackBerry 8830 from my usual cell phone. This is the first mobile device that I’ve ever owned and I’m totally hooked. It’s like the move from dial-up to broadband — I’m not sure I could ever go back to a [...]
