Looking around the CrackBerry Forums today, I found a few threads where folks mentioned an increased amount of spam on their BlackBerry.net email addresses. Of course, spam on emails has always been a problematic fact of life but normally the BlackBerry.net email addresses stay very spam free.
RIM controls these email addresses and offers no real external access to them other than the ability to set up filters, so if spam starts hitting them it's pretty hard for folks to cut them off. You can use filters but given how spammers work, that's a lot of filter creating in hopes to avoid it.
We're not entirely sure how many people actually use their BlackBerry.net email addresses so, we figured it would be a good poll to find out and see if this indeed was a widespread scenario. Drop your vote and let us know!

In a world of proprietary and open source software, where does BlackBerry fit?
