- When you check your [blackberry](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry?ref=kudithipudi.org) every minute, even when there is no e-mail waiting for you..
- When you are in a social gathering and keep checking your blackberry rather than mingle with people..
- When you are in a drive-thru lane at a fast food place and have to think “I will not check my blackberry until, I get to the window and get my food” (that takes an average of 30 seconds!!)..

I think I need to get some help here :-).. And looks like this is not a new phenomenon.. Here are some stories about the addiction
