    I set mine to Phone Only at night, but other wise I would never turn it off.

    I have a friend who turns off his cell phone at night (not a BB user)... I can't understand that. I was like, what if someone needs to reach you? My brain cannot comprehend turning off the phone and being without outside contact!

    I have only been a Blackberry user for 2 weeks and so far I haven't turned mine off. Only done 2 battery pulls so far, once each week but haven't turned it off.

    When I sleep I put it on "phone only" but other than that it's on.

    Off when I sleep. When I am sitting and talking to my wife.
    Always at dinnertime with the family and when I simply don't
    want to be bothered.

    Seeing as I have a landline and anyone important knows how
    to reach me, I really don't feel the need to be surgically
    connected to my cell phone. And I most certainly don't feel
    the need to respond to it at every alert

    Only time its off is when I have to pull the battery which seems like once a day.... Pretty annoying. Other than that I hate having to turn if off. I die a little inside when I do..

    These things have an off feature?? I am ridiculously addicted to my BB so like most of you it's never powered down. I take it out of it's case every week to give it a good cleaning & do a soft reset every couple days (which I call 'burping my berry') & leave it in my shirt pocket when I work so it can give me a little thrill when I feel it vibrate for a new message. :-) Good Lord I need help.

    I turn mine to phone only at night, but will roll over and check on it to mak sure it is still there whenever I hear a noise. I love my BB too much, I need to learn to put it down while driving!

    No way is it ever turned off, the extend of "off" is a soft reset.

    I don't turn mine off, but do have it silenced and have the LED turned off at night.

    Every night between 9 and 11 it not only is off, its in its case in my purse in another room. I don't turn it on until I have to leave the house, and have gone 2 to 3 days with it off. I won't be a slave to my phone regardless of how much I love it (and I do, I will never have another phone other than a BB).

    Now my iPod Touch on the other hand...

    I never turn it off. I activate the off profile before I go to bed and its back to normal in the morning. If there's a time I don't want to be bothered I just leave it in the other room.

    Other than the routine battery pull my BB is on 24/7. I'll switch the profile to off when appropriate but never turn it off.

    Off at night, or I'd never get to sleep!
    Seriously, I've got the auto-on/off set for 12:00 AM - 6:45 AM.

    Unfortunately, i'm on call, so it's near me and on 24/7. Always have something to occupy me as a decent trade off though.
