You dont need to use BBM SDK to send a pin message to another user from your application. BB pin is not just limited to BBM. It is a unique identifier for your Blackberry which you can use to send messages using Pin. You can also use your pin along with BBM to send messages in BBM. If you need to enter the pin in a textfield, and send a pre-filled message, you dont need to use BBM. You can use Use the following method to send a pin message

public static void sendPinMessage(String address,String body)
{
 Store store = Session.getDefaultInstance().getStore();

//retrieve the sent folder
Folder[] folders = store.list(Folder.SENT);
Folder sentfolder = folders[0];

//create a new message and store it in the sent folder
Message msg = new Message(sentfolder);
PINAddress recipients[] = new PINAddress[1];

try{
    //create a pin address with destination address 
    recipients[0]= new PINAddress(address,"My app");
}

catch (AddressException ae)
{
    Log.Error(ae,"Check address");
}

try{
    //add the recipient list to the message
    msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, recipients);

//set a subject for the message

        msg.setSubject("Subject");

    //sets the body of the message
    msg.setContent(body);

    //send the message
    Transport.send(msg);
}

catch (MessagingException me)
{
    Log.Error(me,"Message excpetion in sending pin");
}
}

We cant test pin messages in simulator. You have to use two devices for testing – rfsk2010 Dec 23 '11 at 12:05
You can send emails using the same UI. but create a emailSender() and pass your body and email address to that – rfsk2010 Dec 23 '11 at 12:21
