As to being tied to the Crackberry it depends on your boss and the boundries that are put in place. Even if I read emails on the weekend I won't respond unless it is REALLY urgent nor does my boss expect me to.
Outside of the fact I do not ride a subway, your statement would mirror my circumstances.
I really enjoy having instant access to email (if necessary) when I'm traveling on business. I can peruse a dozen emails just sitting on a plane, waiting for the door to close. When I finally get back to my office, my backlog of unread emails is manageable.
