Blackberry Saves Users an Hour a Day

by Terrence O'Brien on July 5, 2007 at 02:20 PM

Blackberries Save an Hour a Day
The BlackBerry turns the average employee in to an e-mail zombie. Work comes home and that little bad boy rarely leaves its owner's side. Yet, Research in Motion, the company behind Blackberry, has released a survey that claims s BlackBerry actually saves a person an hour a day. And if a corporation is saying it, it must be true.

So, how can CrackBerry addicts make use of this new found hour a day? Try taking a longer lunch, spend an hour at the gym or just sleep a little later each morning. BlackBerry has some suggestions as well:

  • Treat yourself to a traditional shave from the Duke of Edinburgh's barber Truefitt & Hill's
  • Master the game of darts at your work local
  • Enter the dragon and become a Bruce Lee martial arts expert
  • Spring clean your MP3 player and create a selection of playlists: gym, beach, tube, Saturday night
  • Start actually writing that book you've been talking about for years
  • Alphabetize your DVD collection...or even better, sort them by genre and director
  • Impress your friends -- and the ladies -- by learning the guitar
  • Take your dad for a mid-week pub lunch and turn your phone off
  • Get fitted for a bespoke suite on Saville Row
  • Spend your lunch hour buying something naughty for your partner from Agent Provocateur

As you may have guessed, these suggestions come from BlackBerry's U.K. arm. What would you do with your extra hour? Tell us in the comments section below.
