A flash shouldn't always be thought of a used for illuminating a subject. It also "backfills", which is to mean in fills in shadowed areas, usually closest to the camera.
An idea use for this would be outdoors, bright sunny day, (yes, we're going to use a flash at high noon) with the sun high in the sky. While your eyes may not notice, your nose and other facial features will cast shadows on your face. Backfilling this with the cameras flash will result in an image without the shadows. Because a shadow is much more defined and obvious in a picture than in real life.
The flash is a useful tool, don't dismiss its need as simply for "use it in a dark room" scenario.
All those pictures you took would have benefited from a flash.
Not trying to discredit what you're saying, but isn't what you're describing "fill flash" not "back fill".

Yes, and no, but you need to use the convenience key like you would a camera. Point to the dark area, press the button halfway, reposition.
Unfortunately, this would lock focus as well with BB7 phones. So if your dark area is too far away from your intended focal point, your picture will turn out blurry.
I've used this technique with my 9810.
