Yep, there are advantages:
- Use for those occasional marathon emails that need more than the thumb keyboard;
- Create Word and Excel documents directly on BlackBerry using eOffice software;
- Pocketable; keyboard folds to same size as a BlackBerry when folded;
- Spontaneous; it's optional; you can use it only when you feel like a bigger keyboard that can be touchtyped on;
- Another reason to leave laptop behind;
