The rest wouldn't bother me, but I'd hate the blackberry. My therapist knows how I feel about it, and ostentatiously turns the ringer off without looking at it if he forgets.
But he will sit after calling me back and before we start talking, and text or email. I of course never speak while someone is trying to concentrate on their texting or emailing. I'd consider it rude to interrupt something obviously more important than the session. I don't start counting session time until he puts it down.
I hate it, and that's with someone I've seen forever and care about. With a new therapist, looking at a blackberry all session would be a sign that I ought to be moving on.
