Personally I'd love to hand back my cell phone to my boss...the dang thing's nothing more than an electronic leash. I miss the days of Organic Call Waiting...if you called me and I was on the phone, you had to wait.

Just out of curiosity, what is a BlackBerry? Is it like a PDA?
Crackberries apparently are in working order again. Junkies may get their fix.

I'm sure Maj. B. Outage will be dealt with appropriately. He may end up as Captain or Lieutenant Outage, if not just Mr. Outage after all is said and done. ;D
