My Phone, My Wingman…

Note: Blackberry is synonymous with smartphone in this article

Let’s face it folks, the Blackberry is the digital age’s business card. For recent college graduates, it shows that you’re now gainfully employed and part of the “in crowd” of young professionals. For those who’ve been in the workforce for several years, it’s the symbol that you’re still cool and in touch with the changing times. The business world is so steeped in the Blackberry culture that it’s almost as if we don’t have a person for a boss, rather, we work for our Blackberry. It’s time to turn the tables and make that mobile work for you – and I’m not talking about at the office. Use these resources to employ the smallest wingperson (ladies, you can use these too!) in the history of wingpeople.

1. Ever had that dark wish that a friend of yours was in a car accident so you could get out of that horrendous date? Now you wish can come true- no paraplegic comrade required! MobileFaker allows you to schedule fake calls to be made to your phone. The rest is up to your imagination. If the date’s going well, just tell your “friend” that you’ll hang out tomorrow night, tonight you’re on an amazing date (brownie points, no doubt)!
2. MobileFaker, back at it, doesn’t limit you’re romantic utilities to a mere phone call. You can load a fake boy/girlfriend to your phone. Nothing’s more attractive than being “unavailable.” Even those CSI nuts who investigate everything and need proof of your significant other will be quieted with pictures and text messages from your sweetie.
3. The triumvirate would not be complete without a database of pickup and letdown lines. My personal favorite letdown: “I’m so happy to be dating again. My ex is totally psychotic and keeps stalking me.”

What would a wingperson be if they weren’t there for you the next morning? Absolutely worthless, that’s what they would be. Fear not, your Blackberry is there for you. Download MobiPocket reader for free to get started. Next, download the hangover cure remedy from ZDnet. This little wealth of information will give you all the foods and types of activities you should engage in to get rid of those few too many appletinis you took down at the club.

For those of you who are trying to keep your feng shui in line, you can reap the rewards of thousands of years of research from the Far East with MobiPocket’s acupressure hangover cure. A couple steel balls (that’s where the pressure comes from, get your mind out of the gutter!), twenty minutes, throw in a hangover, and when all is said and done, you feel so great you could handle another four or five appletinis!

So next time you don’t feel like hitting the town because your partner in crime is MIA, fear not. Your buddy has now been replaced by a cell phone who will never leave your side (until you drop it in the toilet).
