Consumer marketing is a strange fish. Those who love their Research in Motion BlackBerry cellphone/email machines generally are very brand loyal. I know a few people who always want the latest BlackBerry when it's released, regardless of style or function or size. As long as it is the latest, they want it.
Even though a BlackBerry can make work away from the office much easier, the addiction many have to it can be disturbing at times. We already have 24/7 cellphone voice access, and now we have 24/7 email access. Is it healthy? That's been the subject of quite a few psychology papers I'd suspect.
