For me a BB is essential. Every single one of my friends has had a BB for a while for BB messanger. My N900 is faulty so I am using BB as my primary device for now. Boy what a boring kit. Think I would go mad if BB was my only device. I can't even browse the internet with it. Having to constantly zoom in zoom out and scroll left to right just to read a single line.

However, like I said BB is a must for me due to BB messanger. Funny thing is most of my friends had Nokias before getting BBs for messanger. I just wished Nokia had introduced such a service so I did not have to get an additional device just for messanger.
