    The Words of the Year 2023

  • I got BlackBerry!

    The nearest DoCoMo Shop had informed me that a new BlackBerry device (BlackBerry 8707h) had arrived, so I went there this Monday and bought it. The handset cost 28,000 Yen. Very reasonable.

    Setup is very easy. I keep three of my email addresses (including a BlackBerry-specific one) in this handset. I can catch incoming emails and reply to them, wherever I am. The key strokes are very comfortable. Even if you type long emails, your thumbs won’t get tired.

    I’m not saying I’m completely accustomed to this gadget right now, but I will be soon. This must soon become the item that I can’t do without, as many Americans may think.
