CrackBerry Lessons, short and sweet

What could I have learned from my BlackBerry Curve, a device I hardly ever used? I hated its keyboard, so had I stuck with it, I would've learned brevity.

I generally despise restrictions (some are good). Restraints that impede flamboyance are especially irritating. Why use one sentence when five would do nicely?

By instinct, I'm thorough — I apply that to blogging. I may begin intending to be pithy, but after several paragraphs, I delve deeper to explain every element. To do otherwise seems like a disservice. The infrequency of my blogging was likely a factor.

Maybe as I blog more often, I can keep entries short and sweet. I suppose I'll find out!

I've heard many complaints about iOS keyboards, but I haven't had problems. Perhaps if sitting in front of a real keyboard didn't hurt so bad, I'd feel differently — I don't know — the reality is that I write mostly from my iPad and iPhone. (I hope developers make better blogging apps for iOS.)

Thoughts? Please share them. I'd also like to know if you use iOS so I can better organize content.
