Like all things, having a Blackberry has its virtues and its vices. We have already discussed ad nauseum whether or not talmidim should have cell phones in the Beis Medrash. We have attacked this issue from several different angles, and the heated discussion became very acrimonious (usually the younger posters versus the older ones). Anything that prevents someone from doing properly that which he entered the Beis Medrash to do, and especially if it distracts others, should be banned at that time.
