I spent about six months with BBC on an AT&T Tilt and ended up switching back to my old 8700. I just couldn't take all of BBC's awful quirks anymore.

The big problem with BBC on WM is the contention for the radio. BBC wants to stay connected to the blackberry.net APN and every other app available for the device wants to use MediaNet. So if the app doesn't access the radio just right it doesn't get it because BBC has it tied up. Or if you have another apps running that won't relear the radio the you get no email because BBC can't get online. Yes, you can set up Messaging to directly access POP3 account's, but while BBC is running it prevents Messaging from polling the account at regular intervals. You have to force a connection manually. Then there features in Messaging that BBC won't let you use, such as WM's built in spell checker.

In short, BBC is very invasive and jacks with all sorts of normal WM features. If RIM let's it die I certainly won't miss it.
