I bought this as an altrernative to carrying a laptop
I bought this phone about a year ago right after my trusty old Thinkpad bit the dust. I thought about replacing the computer but I'd heard so many good things about the Blackberry that I decided to give it a look. I travel for my job and need to have email access throughout the day. In addition I use a CRM called Maximizer Enterprise that keeps track of all my appointments, notes and customer information. The Blackberry is one of the devices that will run a mobile version, Max Mobile, of this software.
