That's interesting, Stuart -- I'd totally forgotten about the PIN to PIN thing you can do with Berrys. I imagine those messages would just look like data as far as charges are concerned, but I have to say I don't know. My first question on hearing about the Google Talk thing was whether the talk feature were actually removed or just disabled -- because if it's the latter, then there's the possibility some enterprising software hacker might be able to re-enable it.

Interesting. I've been using RIM's own 'berry-to-'berry IM thing for a few months now (pretty slick btw) and hadn't thought about the money flow. Does anybody know how it works in that case? My assumption is that, since it works PIN to PIN (I think) the airtime would fall under regular 'berry data charges from the carrier. Or does it "look" like an SMS or something?
