First, the good news: BlackBerry service has been restored after an overnight outage that left millions without e-mail access on their cherished devices.The bad news is that you're now acutely aware of your CrackBerry addiction.
Research in Motion, the Canadian company that provides BlackBerry service, is still investigating the cause of the outage. But what about the effects?
Stories abound on the supposed addictive and sometimes painful nature of the handheld devices, not to mention the cultural impact of a workforce that’s unwired, but nonetheless tethered, to the office.
So how did you get through the night?
According to WebMD, withdrawal symptoms can include:
