I don't buy the keep emails separate thing. What else is there?
This application is also useful for people who don't want to subscribe to a BlackBerry plan, or who use a carrier that does not support BlackBerry (another country, for example).

BlackBerry can work without a BlackBerry plan -- and use generic Internet data instead (like Nokia, etc). GMAIL Mobile works great on this. See the Networking forum for the FAQ on using a BlackBerry on a non-BlackBerry plan.
