I jumped on the Smartphone train in 2008 with a BlackBerry Bold 9000, because IM+ messenger with native XMPP support was available for it. This has been the last time I was using a desktop messenger like Pidgin. 😊 When did you buy your first smartphone and what model was it?

Mostly XMPP. BBM was really great, but I had no (private) contacts with BlackBerry devices.
