Groups is not always a solution. If you want to send to 6 people one time, then 4 different people the next time, and then maybe half the first and half the second list another time and then a completely different mix later - random, dynamically changing recipient lists - then groups won't help you.
There's no easy way to check/tick off which 1 to 10 contacts you want to send an SMS to similar to way most VZW dumbphones and I assume previous BB's allow you to do.

true - but how much time might you save vs just typing the first couple letters of the person's name in the "To:" field to begin with? I like the idea of the checkbox - perhaps RIM will add that as a feature/function in future updates.
