Is it worth getting a Blackberry during High School?

Answer 1

Good Question - Do you contantly use email yet? Do you use online banking, MySpace, Facebook? If you constantly use email and surf the web and love to know when your friends leave you messages or when the next party has been sent out on Facebook it is a good idea. A blackberry basically jsut means you are always accessible. The hardest question to as youself before the purchase is who is paying for it and what is the additional cost? If you have to pay for it with part of your afterschool job money I would recommend a smartphone. These are basically standard phones that run windows mobile. You have all the same basic functions on a smart phone that you have on a blackberry without the additonal monthly fees. I personally would go with a smartphone prior to a blackberry, it gets you familiar with the capabilities of a phone and what needs you really have.
