Blackberry Messenger

The current social craze is owning a blackberry and using its most popular application, Blackberry Messenger. Just a couple years ago, Blackberry’s were synonymous with people in business and their need to keep on top of emails while on the go. That same trait still holds today but now the Blackberry’s core customer base has drastically expanded to include everyone and anyone who want to be constantly updated with their own social spheres, whether it be on Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter. The main reason why most people get a Blackberry is for their popular Messenger application. This application has been around for awhile but ever since the latest version 5.0 was introduced late last year, the possibilities have greatly increased.

If you sit down at any mall, and just watch people go by, I guarantee that you’ll see several people walking and frantically typing on their qwerty keyboards and “pinning” their friends on their messenger list.

For some, its a known addiction to be constantly on their Blackberry, which I bet has caused some tension in many relationships.
