I hate to continue the off-topic BB discussion, but I wanted to chime in on how BBM is a pretty big factor for people now. It's not like the BlackBerry is just used by business people. A friend of mine really likes the new iPhone but decided he's not going to get it simply because of BBM. He chats with everyone through it and finds it incredibly useful.
Personally, I don't even have a text message plan for my BlackBerry anymore thanks to BBM. I like how you can see someone typing a message, and messages are delivered nearly instantly. Text messages take quite a bit longer to arrive. It also allows you to send pictures easily, which is great since I find MMS so slow.
That being said, the Pearl Flip is a terrible phone and I regret getting it. I'm going to the Bold.
