Great post over at Army of Achdus on how Blackberries are affecting our relationships with each other, and with Hashem: He has several stories and anecdotes that really illustrate the point. Definitely worth reading.On Lag B'Omer, at a private "hadlaka," my Rebbe spoke about this topic. It wasn't said over a public drasha for public consumption, but for his "chassidim," he said to just get rid of our Blackberries if at all possible. I don't know about other people, but one friend of mine who's a successful entrepreneur, actually did it! He got rid of it a short time later and he's now doing just fine and is still very successful.
