Being a Blackberry user for a couple of years, I can easily reflect on some great instances of when my Blackberry has "saved the day". Anything from an urgently needed pitch while away from the office, directions when lost and late for a meeting, yadda, yadda.
My latest and craziest...
Backstory
I have a satellite dish, but the place I live won't let me bolt it to the house, and even if I could, it wouldn't see "the bird" (broadcasting lingo for satellite).
So, I mounted it on a post at the side of the yard.
Being as frugal as I am, instead of purchasing a post, I took one from a turn-of the century fallen down barn.
2+ years it survived, and then an insane windstorm blew it over. snapped the post in half. I guess the dish was like a kite...
Present Day Backstory
Still being frugal, I didn't pay to have a technician re-align it. I did it myself by moving it around while my girlfriend watched the display on the television and called the numbers (13, 14, 13, 13, 13, 17!!!!, 12...)

Blackberry saves the day
I put on the Bluetooth headset, she called it, and relayed the data over the phone.
