I often do emails late at night on my Laptop. I'd much prefer a Blackberry as I could not only be more timely with my responses, but it would allow me to respond at a time more convenience to me, such as on my way home, rather than in my own time later in the evening.

I opposed getting one for over a year while my managers tried to force it on me. Now I am working 3 days/week I actually asked for it so I could be more in touch as I am out of the office a lot. A agree with the findings, in fact work is recovering much more than 60min/day from me since I got it. The culture of the working day has changed and I am closer to 24/7 than 8 hours/day Mon-Fri. To get more to the conditions in the study, I still agree to the findings. Every person including myself is away from their desk frequently throughout the day and the dingleberry is always attached to you so you can respond to priorities. You end up multitasking a LOT more... even in traffic jams. Yes very good for work... not so good for personal time. The dingleberry is especially useful for people who deal with international work contacts like I do... except when you are trying to have a date with your wife!!! If it wasn't for my unique work conditions I would prefer not to have one as I do like to "unplug" when I am on personal time. Once you have one it is hard to get rid of it because you are so much more contactable even with family... alas! Hi Adam, I have a blackberry (or dingleberry as I call it) that work provided for me.
