That's tied to certain phones, iirc.

An exposed keyboard you don't have to hunt for? A better security
model? Something free of Microsoft stuff? There are lots of reasons
one might prefer blackberry.

Now, I have an AT&T Tilt, but somedays I'd rather have a blackberry
Pearl. The WM6 based Tilt is not a terribly elegant phone I'm afraid
(it's got every feature in the book, but it's not elegant or a joy to
use), and the keyboard just goes to show that bigger doesn't actually
mean easier to type on. I imagine one could be much more efficient on
a BB keyboard than the width of the tilt keyboard. It's a nice PDA
you can make calls with though. But to be honest, most days I leave
it at home and pocket my Krazr K1.
