How To Make Yourself Smarter By Buying A Phone

I finally did it. I got a Blackberry from Alltel. They say it’s a smart phone. I’m not sure how smart it is yet, but I love gadgets. I knew the day would come sooner or later and I was always hoping sooner. If you don’t have a phone that will make coffee nowadays you are either falling way behind or you at least feel as if you are behind the rest of the world. My son Jake had pleaded to me a few months ago that he needed a smart phone. I questioned this need of his. He promised that it would help him in college and be able to keep up with his schedule and study better, thus good grades would be the result. He talked a good game, so his Mother and I bought him a Palm phone for his birthday. Lo and behold, his grades were outstanding and I’m talking physics and microeconomics.

Will it help me compete in the world of Real Estate? I think so or at least I certainly hope so. The reason I got a Blackberry was for business. Specifically, email. Over the last few months I have attempted to convert everything I possibly could over to my new MacBookPro from Apple. Unfortunately, my real estate email services is Internet Explorer based. The only way I can check my email is to get to a Windows PC. In such a competitive line of work, I need to respond very quickly to email. To the rescue came the Blackberry.

Einstein certainly got by ok without a smart phone but one has to wonder how much smarter he would have been if he had been using a Blackberry? Hmmm….

I could not believe how easy the email set up on the Blackberry was. I really figured I would have to bury myself in a manual to figure it out. I just knew that I would have to configure POP servers and SMTP servers and go through a lot of aggravation. Boy, was I wrong and very happy about being wrong.
