During the turf and landscape growing season here in the St Louis area, I use it for appts, notes, emails and texting between myself, customers and all of our company offices.
I used to get back to the office late in the day with tons (30-40) calls to return about turf and LS. Phone tag begins! Now customers email, text or call and I get back to the office with 2 or 3. People now take pics of problems and send it to me on my BB for diagnosis, its awesome. When I go home, I am fully home now!
During the heat of summer and winter, I am a full time IT support person, managing all of our computers and cellular needs for turf, agricultural, petroleum and automotive side of our company.
I get calls and emails throughout all of my days weather turfing or teching from our offices with urgent and not so urgent needs.
Our whole company uses Windows Live Messenger and they all love it. With my BB, they can text through WLM and get a fairly immediate response right their on their PC's. Have had other phones with Android and Windows Mobile and WLM simply eats batteries like candy, not to mention that these other phones disconnect WLM randomly. BB retains the connection all the time.
BB's make a lot less of a task out of messeging! Other phones have to work much harder to do the same work.
Love it and its company provided as with all sales and mngt personell at my company.
Well..........I program CNC milling machines, and am constantly taking pics of the screens on the mills and emailing them to the manufacturer when Im troubleshooting an error. So I guess that qualifies.
City engineer / local government worker. Personal bb on company BESX which I administer. I use it primarily for emails, calendar, and contacts. It is invaluable for project management and great for keeping track of my busy personal life as well.

Network Security engineer/BES Admin for a VERY large real estate development/parking company. Payed for 100% by the company. Blackberry is not a requirement, we are actually going to be changing to Droid devices here soon (they can handle our needs much better than blackberry can).
I am a Controller(HR,Accounting, Payroll,etc) for a hotel and a college student. It helps when I am away from my office, especially when my boss is sending me emails every 2 minutes. He is very dependent on me and will hunt me down if I don't answer my office phone or emails right away. He has even opened the door to the womens' restroom and yelled my name.
Project manager for an oilfield environmental company. Berrys mine, bills theirs. Used mostly for phone, instant email receipt is an added bonus but not required.
Self-employed professional photographer, specializing in commercial, event and entertainment photography. I use my BB to handle last minute changes from clients (happens often), show samples of my work to prospective clients (why I got the Storm) and handle business while traveling. I don't know how I got along without it!
