I'm using BBC on a Tilt; my 8800 fell and busted so I have to use the Tilt as a backup for now. I had used BBC a few months ago and ditched it for a number of reasons. After my 8800 broke, I needed a fast solution (other than buying a new device at full price). This helped me so I'm passing it along.
My biggest problems with the Tilt and BBC had been battery life and the device was slow, sometimes needing a reset several times a day. I went to xda-developers.com and downloaded a new Kaiser (HTC) ROM WM6.1 and used the new version of BBC. It is a significant improvement. The battery life is considerably better, probably double what I was getting. The speed is also improved, not once have I had to reset the Tilt in about a week.
Still, it isn't as good as the BB8800 but it is much closer. The Tilt keypad isn't as easy to type, the space key is flaky. I miss autotext. When you hit Tilt space key, it sometimes misses. When you add names, it isn't as easy as with the BB. I'll probably get a refirb 8820. The Tilt is quite usable, but the BB is really better for email and that's what I really need it for.
