If you have been reading my posts long enough, you know I have this little thing for red – it is my favorite color – even my Treo cell phone was decked out in red. Well, that beloved Treo finally bit the dust and for Christmas my family bought me a new pink Blackberry Curve. So, its not red, but it is in the same color family.

As much as I like the Blackberry Curve, it is taking some real getting used to. Old habits die hard and I have spent more than my fair share of time looking for ways to change this setting or that, dialing someone’s number instead of texting them, etc.

The one thing I had forgotten about was that with no real cover, all it takes is a bump in your bag and you’ve dialed Birmingham. That is the reason I had bought a slick Sena leather, magnetic flip cover for my Treo. So, getting one for my Blackberry Curve was essential. Since I had a pink phone, I opted for the pink magnetic flip cover. Oooh, is it nice!

Now that I am getting a little more comfortable with the Blackberry way of doing things, I am using it a bit more to its potential. I love that my email is pushed to me – and with the on the go lifestyle I have it is a good thing – I can respond to client needs from the ice rink, the pool or anywhere else my busy life takes me.

Texting is my friend – it is the fastest way to communicate with 90% of the people in my life and I’m learning that texting is not just for checking in with the kids. You can do everything from search Google to order pizza using SMS (see how you can run your life through SMS and 10 things you didn’t know you could do with text).

And as for my little thing for red? No worries – I just got a new camera (the one I used to take these pictures) and it is… a Nikon Coolpix L18 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom in RUBY RED.
