While email certainly can be useful, it can also be a timewaster for some with back-and-forths, etc. I thought this was a good article on another blog: http://thinksimplenow.com/productivity/how-to-delete-email-addiction/ John, thanks a lot for posting.

You don't have to find a internet connection and pull out your laptop, you can answer immediately from you BlackBerry. As for your comment about picking up a phone; people are too busy to be answering phones and waiting on hold etc. etc., email is more reliable and anyone in the corporate world is conscious of this being the communication medium of choice. As, with email you have proof of the conversation, it is documented, and future disputes can be easily settled by checking your past messages. My BlackBerry allows me to be much more productive every day and I only answer emails beyond office hours if I want too.
