I'm on the BIS and relied on it to store my contacts. Since Yahoo never upgraded 3.0 to support address book sync on the newer BlackBerry models, I found myself wandering elsewhere. Google Sync came to the rescue. It syncs as it's supposed to without having to install that clunky Yahoo Go bloatware.

I do moderate/administrate a Yahoo! Groups list, but all the messaging is via my Gmail account. The fact that they're chasing the iPhone market and not BB, shows they aren't really paying attention to market trends, just fads.

The application was just a waste of space wrapped in a pretty package. The navigation was waaay slower than the individual applications on my BlackBerry. And then, the real killer is that the YIM (Yahoo Instant Messenger) isn't "real-time". You have to refresh and update it...on an IM? Riiiiiight. It was a good thought. Just a complete waste of time and effort. Smart move, Yahoo. I was one who made sure it got axed. The application was just a waste of space wrapped in a pretty package.
