Maybe like they know your BlackBerrys true identity :) I just dont see the point. I loose my messenger contacts every time I change devices and there is no desktop interoperablity. Everybody I speak to has to have a BlackBerry and type on the small keyboard. The worst part about giving out your pin is that the messages automatically go to level1 priority for your profile I guess it is a novelty… Maybe like they know your BlackBerrys true identity :)

You want PIN to be like your e-mail or phone number. RIM wants PIN to be some sort of DRM. Pirating applications in the Blackberry platform is nearly impossible because of PINs. . I really don't see any other use for the PIN. The messenger? Please. If two people have Blackberrys, they might as well chat over e-mail. It's instant! Or use some instant messenger like Yahoo or Google Talk. . Last week someone was glad to meet a fellow Blackberry user (me) in a generic gadget forum. There are not many Blackberry users in Brazil. She immediately asked for my PIN. I told her the truth: I offered my e-mail address because a) she can reach me just the same; b) I certainly will reply from my desktop whenever possible because I actually avoid writing e-mail with such a tiny keyboard; c) I really would rather not chat over such a tiny device. So I also offered my MSN ID. She never replied again. I wonder if she felt rejected. . Once I saw a young woman chat on the phone in the movies, two chairs away from me. During the session. I think that's crazy. Those are two different purposes. You want PIN to be like your e-mail or phone number. RIM wants PIN to be some sort of DRM.
