I really hope that yours wasn't used for a baseball...yikes.

The Only Girl said...

How about adding "a watch". Yes, it's a little bulky, but it does the trick.

Alicia said...

amen! i'm all about the flashlight! thank goodness for my bb...i'ld be lost without it!

Yankee Girl said...

I have used my phone for all of those things except a weapon. Now I am trying to think of the things I can do with it to inflict pain on others. And I'm not a mean person!

I used previous phone as a baseball because it was so crappy it just HAD to be destroyed.

Deb Thaxton said...

-->I love my blackberry too. It is also a time waster when standing in long lines.

It's rare but sometimes I even use it to *gasp* make a phone call!

MiMi said...

Funny I didn't mean to post this yet. I was trying to think of more uses.. lol...

When I saw it I was going to take it down but had 5 comments already...what a laugh.

And anyone know how to contact BB for the endorsement deal.

Theta Mom said...

Oh, the rock concert, good one!

BeautifulWreck said...

LOL... sending to my husband who has been having trouble with his. He has gotten two in the last few days that do not work right.

Joanne said...

Only thing I have ever done with a blackberry is - eat it!! Yes I am a ludite - I work for a school that teaches Electronic Engineering but I refuse to allow technology to run my life all the time.
Heck two of my phones at home still have cords *gasp*

JP said...

I love that my phone has a "Lantern" mode...

ha!

Of course it's not easy to get to, buried in menus, but it's still funny.

LOL - I have used my bb for almost all of those very things - however, I also just sold my bb on Ebay and bought a new phone this week and I love it just as much, if not more and I LOVED my blackberry! ;o) P.S. Thanks for the kind words on my blog this morning about my house - the house we live in now is just a typical colonial house made out of siding. Unfortunately, here in the northeast you don't see many houses made of Rock and Brick like down South and you sure don't pay the same CHEAP LOW prices on houses here as you do down south. *sigh*

I too use the handy Blackberry for a flashlight daily!!!

Funniest commercial for cell service ever, Sprint, when the guys are comparing features.

First guy says, "oh yeah, well mine has theft deterrent."

other guy: "theft deterrent?"

First guy: Throws phone at him and smacks him square in the face.

Laughed so hard I cried first time I saw that one!

Rush said...

As another resource to carry out my affair. Just sayin'.

Leaving now..........

blueviolet said...

Finally I can see why there's a point to having one!

SPEAKING FROM THE CRIB said...

LiLu said...

I use mine as a flashlight every morning when I get up and try to make my way to the bathroom.

Stupid dark winter.

Stephanie Faris said...

I vote for weapon...to whack all the people at work over the head who always stopping, mid-sentence, to check it while talking to me!

Betty Manousos:cutand-dry.blogspot.com said...

That is a very good commercial!!
Too funny!
hugs hugs

otin said...

Blackberry makes a good cobbler also!

Melissa B. said...

Yes, we use our cellies as flashlights in a pinch. And, of course, they're much safer than a BIC lighter at a concert...

Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) said...

I'm going to show that list to my hubby...maybe it will let him see why I want one so much. :)

JennyMac said...
