the blackberry just paid for itself

I just called Congressman Price’s office. The details of the Why of that call are for another blog post. The How is what I’m really interested in right now. I got an email blast from Lessig about H.R. 801, and in it there was a phone number for the Congressional switchboard. I was looking at that email in my phone and realized that the phone number was a link I could click, and suddenly I was making a call. I know this is something that people with blackberries have been doing for quite some time, but I had such a powerful AHA moment when I placed that call that I had to share it. What happens when everybody who has a phone can do this?

    People talk a lot about how Blackberries are for stupid executive-types, but the truth is, it’s an amazingly intuitive UI and I discover still things all the time where the BB just does something that makes sense. It’s awesome.
