CrackBerry

A funny nickname for a BlackBerry, it is popular because people get addicted to this electronic device. For example, "My boss is out of town but I can ping him on his CrackBerry, it's the one thing he checks while traveling." 

Historical perspective: Like many software and hardware devices, Blackberries became obsolete in due to no more manufacturing (as of 2018) and no more support (as of 2022). Created by RIM (Research In Motion) the BlackBerry was a two-way messaging device and that allowed subscribers to wirelessly update their calendars and send and receive e-mail remotely.
