I caught this article from Seeking Alpha, regarding rising tech stocks, including RIM. But that’s not the BlackBerry-related part from this article, though it is an interesting read. Rather, the author uses the following quote: “Modern consumers would eat pancakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner before they would get rid of their Blackberry.” So I got to thinking, I’m a geek for the BlackBerry, but would I really eat pancakes (I thought the joke was ramen?) rather than give up my BB?

No, I don’t think I’d go that far. While I’m certainly attached to the device and find it hard to imagine a time when I didn’t have a BlackBerry, I think that sustenance is something slightly more important. Just slightly, though.

Take a look around your house, your room, your office. What would you give up before you gave up your BlackBerry? After deciding to keep food, water, clothing, and shelter above the BB, I’ve got my laptop computer. That’s about it. Maybe a couple of the especially good books in my collection get the nod, too.

What about you guys? Is there anything seemingly essential you’d sacrifice before you ditched your BB?
