BlackBerry Addiction: Help Me Name My BlackBerry Curve

My Newest Addiction Needs a Name

Tammy Lee Morris
Most who know me already know of my addiction to Diet Dr. Pepper, but I have a new vice to join Tallulah: My BlackBerry Curve.

She is a pink little seductive siren, quite a cutey as BlackBerries go.

My BlackBerry Curve has the full features of most Blackberries, I guess. She allows me to check my email when I'm out - even if I am just in the yard or across the room and too lazy to walk to my computer.

I have three email addresses set up with my BlackBerry - which is quite handy since I don't check two of them very often. I can check those addresses on my BlackBerry and if there is something important, then I can sign in on my computer - quite the time saver for this busy lady.

This precious BlackBerry Curve will also let me check my Facebook account, update my Facebook page, send text messages (which I have aligned to text updates to my Twitter account which is set to auto-post to my Facebook account, how cool is that?).

My pink BlackBerry Curve also allows me to do other cool stuff, like take pictures and video and even upload those to my Facebook page or send them to friends. There is a calendar, a notepad, a calculator - all the regular features of any other cellphone. Like most other BlackBerries, the BlackBerry Curve has a qwerty keyboard that makes texting and sending emails easier (but only if your fingers are small - like mine).

My family likes playing Brick Breaker on my BlackBerry Curve, which means that if I put it down somewhere, someone in my house is going to pick it up and use it. That's annoying - since it's mine, but whatever.

I wish I would have chosen a red BlackBerry, since red is my favorite color - but I'm happy with the pink BlackBerry Curve that I got.

I've had a couple of issues with her trackball having momentary lapses of reason and not working properly, but that seems to be okay for now.

I'll admit, I'm hopelessly in love and addicted to my BlackBerry Curve. She is a special friend to me.

Sad, I know. I never claimed to be normal.

The admission of my newest addiction has brought a new dilemma that begs a question: What to name my BlackBerry Curve?

I chose to embrace my Diet Dr. Pepper addiction and named that demon Tallulah. Tallulah is precious to me. I coddle her and feed her often, but she has a new sister who is in need of a proper name: My BlackBerry Curve.

I am asking for help to name my BlackBerry Curve - since nothing I have yet thought of quite seems appropriate for such a sweet device that has enslaved me.

Give me your suggestions - I will give proper consideration to each and every one. How will I know the right name? I'll just know. There will be "a moment" - and I'll know.

    I can't help you with a name, but I agree a Blackberry can sure make make life more convenient and fun.

    Let's go Muppet here and name her Miss Piggy. Since you are now addicted to your crackberry, er, blackberry, then Miss Piggy is appropriate since she's hogging all of your time (sorry, could not resist the pun ;) Then get your hubby a green one and call it Kermit!

  • L.E. Duncan6/7/2009

    Wow, great article! I understand the addiction...a monkey on your back. Which you could name it...Monkey. When people ask you what that thing is, you just tell 'em, "It's the monkey on my back"
