Cell Phone Question

I know this might be a stupid question, but do you current bankers have a phone in addition to the blackberry? In other words, does the company allow you to just use the blackberry they give you for personal stuff or is it work only?

some people use two phones, others use just one. I liked having just one (BB) until IT blocked everything you can think of on our blackberries. What's the point of having a smart phone if you can't get to you gmail account, facebook, install apps, etc..? So now I carry two, one for personal use (and I can do everything I want with it) and the other is a BB that only has a data plan, no voice plan.

 

Everybody I know has a bberry and a company phone and most but not all use both. Personally I don't like talking on the bberry since it feels like I'm holding a brick to my face in comparison to a slim mobile.

 

Oconnor - are you saying that the company provides you a blackberry and a separate phone, or do they just provide the blackberry?

 

Well I've just never heard of the company giving people two phones. None of the analysts I worked with were given two, so I just wanted to clarify.
