I was so disgusted I...went out and purchased a Droid!!! I now understand the seduction. Let us all fight and stay strong! Until these devices can breathe, sweat, whine, joke and kiss, I think we have a fighting chance.

Honestly? I think you have to go cold turkey. Just turn it off, and don't look at it until you're not busy with something else (I know, I know. We're always busy with something else). My email is up all the time at home, and I check it almost every time I pass by my computer. The most success I have had ignoring it is when I make the conscious decision to set aside 15-20 minutes later (like when my kids are napping or when my husband gets home), to get done whatever I need to get done.
