Hey,
I don't use the BB assistant on my Classic. I find its key (between the volume keys) to be very convenient.
I think it can be very productive, if there is a way to reprogram it to take voice notes on the go.
Now, I assign a shortcut key on my keyboard to open the remember app where I can add voice notes, yet the proposed method can be faster specially if you don't have to unlock the phone.
