By the way, my BlackBerry is a personal device. And not on BES. I'm using the stock out-of-the-box BBM. I've thought of trying BBM Protected just for giggles, but I don't see the point of it for me.

I don't really get much from Channels. I think it has great potential but BlackBerry use is so minuscule in the market that BBM Channels isn't going to go anywhere.

I do get a great deal from BBM Groups. I have contacts around the world and contacts in groups that I wouldn't have but for BBM and BBM Groups.

As I say, there is a great deal of personal preference that goes into this decision, as well as what peers are doing. I'm not going to say absolutely one is better than the other.

As with the smartphone I always say start by making a list of must-haves and nice-to-haves, and pick the smartphone that does all the must-haves and the most of the nice-to-haves. Your pick and my pick may be different, and neither is right or wrong, only the best for us.
