What do you do with your blackberry on the farm?

[dfarms11]

Trying to figure out if it would be worth it to get a blackberry or not. What all do you guys that have one do with it that is productive on the farm? Can you run excel on it and enter in figures? can you view any website or just certain ones?

Thanks for any info.

If you get a good data plan on it it acts just like a computer. I have word spreadsheet and pdf on mine ( for a cost) there are gps applications for it. You can get navigation on it as well.Every thing is small of course so actually entering values in a spreadsheet cell may be hard. I have a blackberry with a decent call package and 500 mb of downloads. I pay 80 bucks with telus. I has just a regular phine with rogers and was paying 60 . It was worth the 20 for the Berry. As well telus gave me a think 30 days to return the phone if i didn't like it.

It is my life line. I am still learning how important this tool is for the average farmer. Basically like the previous post. It does most things that your lap top does and maybe more. GPS
