The New York Times has an amusing article about how people are increasingly turning to their phones to quickly get answers on everything from trivia questions to news items. The article only mentions BlackBerry users, presumably because those units are generally given out at work, so people have them on hand.

Of course, you can annoy your friends, and be "right" with any phone that can access the Internet, not just a BlackBerry.
