Blackberry Detox

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - June 08, 2006


If you're addicted to your Blackberry and need a break there's one Chicago hotel that will help you. If you check into the Sheraton Chicago Hotel, the manager will put your Blackberry under lock and key to give you a break.

"Rick Ueno, general manager of the Sheraton Chicago Hotel, said the program which began on Wednesday grew out of his own personal BlackBerry addiction. His one-step recovery was switching to a regular cell phone.

"I was really addicted to my BlackBerry. I had an obsession with e-mail," he told Reuters. "Morning and night. There came a time when I didn't think it was healthy ... I quit cold turkey."

He believes guests might want to try the same thing for a day or two anyway, so they can concentrate on meetings, business and socializing while at the hotel."
