Typing code using a BlackBerry?

Is a BlackBerry feasible for writing code with?

Additionally: Are there some programming languages which are specially easy or hard to type on it's keyboard?

I don't know BB well, but I'm trying to evaluate it for writing code while commuting. AFAIK, it doesn't have a "full-featured" keybard, and there are other phones with a more complete one. But I'd also like to be able to write text single-handedly, and I believe it's possible on a BB (?).

Note: that's not a question about writing code for a BlackBerry, but rather on one.

(If that's not a good site for such a question, please let me know where could I pose it. I've let myself put it here based on the "matters that are unique to the programming profession" entry in the FAQ.)

No. Consider a netbook if you need something cheap you can write code with on-the-go. I've tried too, but mobile phones (no matter how smart they are) can't be used for writing code (unless you're willing to spend 1 hour to write a "Hello, World!" app).
