pegasusbay
have been using BPE since earliest days, and with a macbook Pro n Nokia N 95 & 73 & 6310, this is just cellphone heaven, what a lovely couple!
great interaction, dashboard in menu, notification, plus an email center just like apple's Mail.
Use yr macbook to send sms, use yr macbook to read them ! no fiddling with mini buttons etc.
almost prefer to use SMS over email now ! hehe
great developer, attentive and good follow up of the suggestions we made over the years
