just did a quick search, and while they work the same way, it would be from my data plan, which would mean hideous roaming charges (£6/$10 per MB, charged to the nearest 1/2 MB in Europe), whereas I pay £5/mo to be connected to the BBE server world wide. This means if someone sent me a couple of photos, and I had an extended chat over one of the other IM clients while in France, I could be facing an extra £10-£15/$20-$30 on my monthly bill, whereas with a BB using BBM, I could send and receive a million photos and do nothing but message my friends for a month solid while in India and only pay £5.

You have to remember, I live in Europe, and where I am, I can be in France quicker than I can be half way up the country!

Sorry bro, wasn't even looking at where you lived. Then BB it is!

Haha, no worries! I freely admit... I am quite taken with the HTC Desire, but I am unimpressed with the decision to remove the fold out keyboard from the HD.
