BBM for Android, iPhone arrives

[vicv]

One silly question - are the messages still free or does it use data ?

The latter

 

[TowerGuru]

Temporary Server Error. cant use the App on my S4.

 

[House]

Uninstalled BBM. No longer ineterested in seeing how it works or what it does. Whatsapp is working perfectly and all my friends and family who still have BB also use Whatsapp.

 

[ginggs]

I will be leaving Whatsapp, as I do not want everyone with my cellphone number to message me.

They can still send you an SMS, so what is the difference?

 

[madlala]

if you have a samsung get it form the samsung store

I Downloaded the app from the Samsung Store, and sadly it wont start, gives me the error for the network, while my network is running as just fine

 

[ShaunSA]

Incompatible with both my devices

 

[Vice]

I am chatting to my sister and sister-in-law at the moment, everything is working perfectly. I will be leaving Whatsapp, as I do not want everyone with my cellphone number to message me.

+1
This is what I missed since I left BB

The difference is that my profile pic and status are not shown through an SMS.

Since I have a BB 10 device this is not of major importance to me but it does mean that my friends who have Samsung devices are now using BBM and are so far not complaining.

The privacy of just having a BBM pin is the one reason why I love BBM and I actually get angry when people give out my pin.

Too little too late, this should have been done 3 years ago ! Fail Crackberry !

Had the red exclamation mark of despair until a few minutes ago. Nice thing is that it's using my old pin from my blackberry days and all my old contacts are there.

Don't worry. RIM gave the NSA your pin a long time ago...

Keep trying. Eventually you should get through.

As I understand it, the app will be free and they will make money through advertising in BBM Channels, like the Facebook money. You can read more here: http://crackberry.com/can-bbm-be-worth-5-share-blackberry-s-valuation

Ah, so it's not their ability to message you that's the issue then.

WhatsApp is a public network, so you shouldn't choose a profile pic or a status message that you wouldn't want the whole world to see.

Not more so than anyone else
