I have a Blackberry, but in my worst nightmare I wouldn't consider using it to take down a set list! My two thumbs typing is far slower than my old pen and paper writing - but some people do that. I believe that the Dylan set lists, historically called in by phone, are now often sent via Blackberry.
I was actually very tempted to take a few pictures with my Blackberry, but if there's a way to turn off the flash I haven't found it yet and I didn't want the flash going off in his eyes.
Maybe my "thumb typing" will have improved enough by next time for me to try it.
The other inhibitor is the 1.5 cents per kb that it costs for data in Canada (with my US AT&T account). So, a simple email that is maybe 20 kb costs 30 cents to send anywhere. That's not bad, but if you knew all the email I get you'd realize that I was looking at a $30 to $50 a day bill if I overused the Blackberry. I shut off some of my incoming mail (normally received via a forward which I turned off), and told the people who occasionally send me large files (Bill Hall with his wonderful mp3s) not to send me anything. Here's hoping my bill isn't too high. I'm afraid to look (it's online).
