BlackBerry Messenger for Android and iOS announced

Who made BBM? Rim? If so they should call it RIM Messenger, cause it will run on Android/Ios and not Blackberry. Hehe.

This would have been great 3 years ago. Now since everybody's got WhatsApp - not so much.

I still wish WhatsApp will realize that people are not tied to their mobile phones these days - release a tablet / web / PC / mac-app damnit! Allow multiple sign-in from multiple devices and sync everything! If BBM does that - perhaps... (although I doubt it).

That's why more and more people are using Viber.
 
Would really consider getting BBM for Android if they included the video & voice call from within BBM feature, like in the latest BBM version.
 
With all those spam and chain letters being send around on BBM, I don't know if I want my phone to be buzzing every 5 seconds :whistle:

Gtalk?

Technically for me its the best. It syncs, you may decide to log out if you want to, so people can see you're not in the mood to talk, but they can still send it for you to view later.

One of the most important things for a IM service to have is a large user base, people sue what their friends use. I hate to say it but Gtalk is kind of geek only

I read somewhere RIM changed their name to Blackberry
 
Sounds like a boon for parents on other makes of phones.

At the JB concert it was pretty apparent the teeny-bopper scene is still very much hardcore Blackberry. Whether it will remain that way in 2 years time (after a full upgrade cycle has passed) is less clear.

Yeah, the appeal of the blackberry to teens - or is it the parents of teens - is still very strong.

O/T: In my books any time spent not banging my head into the nearest guardrail at a Bieber concert is an opportunity wasted. :whistle:
 
I have never used a BB but most of my friends who use BB have resorted to deleting WhatsApp because of a stupid feature called "Last Seen" and i must admit i hate this feature cos now you can't seem to avoid those boring contact, and once you ignore them they call you every hour cos they have your number.
Bbm on my s4 would allow me to reach all those who just hate WhatsApp...

Simple . Just block the contact.

This one chick I know deleted whatsappp cos she kept getting calls from random guys. Then I asked her why didn't she just block them. She said she didnt know you get that feature.
