Statuses: My friends use the status line to tell us if they're busy in a meeting or at dinner or something. Helpful for planning things or just trying to avoid being annoying.
Seeing if a message is delivered and read: Two separate things that help a lot. If I need an answer quickly, I can see if they're actually at their phone to respond. And just like MSN, you can see when someone is typing a message. I don't get offended if I don't get an answer right away like some people who watch the "name is typing a message" like a hawk.
As a side note, I would browse the internet more on my blackberry if it was faster...EDGE is not exactly great for loading non-mobile versions of sites.
