Comments on: Are You The “BlackBerry Guru” In Your Social Circle? http://www.berryreview.com/2008/12/31/are-you-the-blackberry-guru-in-your-social-circle/ BlackBerry News and Reviews You Can Use Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:13:37 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Fred http://www.berryreview.com/2008/12/31/are-you-the-blackberry-guru-in-your-social-circle/comment-page-1/#comment-17548 Fred Sat, 03 Jan 2009 09:57:52 +0000 http://www.berryreview.com/2008/12/30/are-you-the-blackberry-guru-in-your-social-circle/#comment-17548 I have been a true Blackberry Addict since i first encountered them in 1999 when I joined an agency that lived and died by them. I bought my first pc in 1984 (cost more than my first car). I love to be the guru and help but i really only like to answer the same question (from the same person) twice. Once for the information and then to reinforce. After that, its clear that they are not really listening. I find that everyone learns and acquires information to their own limits and ability. I like to help them stretch that limit. I have been a true Blackberry Addict since i first encountered them in 1999 when I joined an agency that lived and died by them.

I'm also giving them forum pages to check out as well as RIMs site for any troubleshooting needs. Guess you can say I'm an o.k guy.

I have a pearl currently, and I work as a wc for Alltel. I have had some training from RIM and also learn so much from websites such as this one, so that I can help my customers as well as friends. I help all sorts of BB users, newbies, etc, even if they are contracted with other carriers, I just love the Blackberry and all it represents, including a life more convenient and more in line with communication. I don't mind answering questions or arranging one on one blackberry 101's with people interested. I'd like to think I'm enhancing the lives of others one Blackberry at a time!

(I saw a hoodie at thinkgeek.com that says "I will not fix your computer" - I want it!) My gf's dad just got a Storm. He's never had a Berry, he upgraded from some Moto pos phone. Everytime I've seen him over the last 3 weeks, it's "Hey, I've got a question..." I like helping out, and like someone else said, it's a lot better to show them to do it themselves.

The funny thing is I think most people are content to just use their bb LIKE A NORMAL PHONE! Some people... Gosh. I tell them how I've tweeked my phone or got the latest OS and they don't seem interested. I've found you can't really teach someone something they're not interested in so I just leave it alone. They know where to find me. I know quite a few people with bb’s and I know the most of any of them. The funny thing is I think most people are content to just use their bb LIKE A NORMAL PHONE!

I reply (usually) that I can try to help but don't know it all. When I do help, it is in person and not me driving the keyboard as learning is best retained when the student is instructed while doing. On stuff I don't know, I point them to various forums and ask them to let me know the answer when they find it (so I can learn too!). I’m the one that gets all the qiestions.

Hey, I think it's our charge to help out the newbies... especially since we all pay at least 20 bucks extra per month to say we are Blackberry owners.
