Photos: Gadgets we're thankful for, Part 1
November 21, 2008 10:52 AM PST 
Ina with BlackBerry Curve
With Thanksgiving a week away, the Crave team couldn't help but express gratitude for the consumer electronics that make life easier--and sometimes far less productive. Click through this gallery to see which gadgets Crave contributors appreciate most these days, and be sure to have a look at part deux, in which Cravers give thanks for the Apple iPhone, iRobot Scooba, Nikon D80, and more.
BlackBerry Curve
Those who have known me for the past four years know how attached I was to my Palm Treo. I wrote stories on it, checked e-mail on it, and could be seen wandering around the newsroom, bumping into things as I focused more on the phone than my surroundings. That said, the gadget I am most thankful for at this moment is the replacement for my Palm Treo, the BlackBerry Curve.
While my Treo was rock solid when it came to e-mail, the Palm OS' sub-par Web browsing and multimedia abilities left me wanting. The BlackBerry Curve has managed to do everything my Treo did--and do it better. Plus, although it's no Canon, the camera is good enough to take blog-worthy pictures from time to time. I don't even have Storm envy... yet.
