There are a few basic differences:

  1. email messages are sent using your BES whereas PINs are sent using the wireless network and RIMs infrastructure. Therefore, PINs can be useful as a backup if the BES ever goes down for some reason.

  2. Email messages sent using the 'Desktop' are encrypted, PINs are not unless extra steps are taken.

  3. Emails can be sent to non-BlackBerry users, PINs cannot.

  4. PINs will tell you when the message has been delivered to the recepients device by default, emails will not unless you use the <confirm> function.
