Super impressed with viber

Just as i start my search for a replacement IM Whatsapps extents its trial by 6 months...
Gave Viber a try but it didn't work on my Samsung Galaxy S running ICSSGS rom...will have to wait for an update before i can give it another try.
 
It's true that there are some serious obstacles with integrating VoIP on Blackberry (and on most devices, it's near impossible to use VoIP when connected to the cellular 3G network).

At this stage, Viber's BB messenger (text messaging) system is almost ready and working great. However, Viber's VoIP (calling) system is much trickier since there are limitations in Blackberry itself that make implementing VoIP very complex, but we're working hard these days to overcome these obstacles and also include VoIP.

So - keep believing! :)
Still no date on BB version release?
 
@ArkiTech -
The compatible version of Viber with ICS should be released very soon - up to several days, probably even less. Stay tuned for news :)

@mmmig -
You will be pleased to know that Viber for Blackberry is just around the corner now. We are in the final stages of testing and coordination with RIM, and if all goes as planned, it should be released soon!

When will viber be doing video calling?

We are not sure yet. It's under development these days, but giving exact release dates is impossible at this stage. Once we have any news, I'll keep you posted :)
 
With 70 Million Registered Users, Viber Brings Beta Apps To BlackBerry, Windows Phone

We’ve been covering Viber since the very beginning, through the launch of an Android app and the addition of photo/location sharing capabilities, to the moment the company announced 50 million users, 150 million calls, and a billion text messages per month. In fact, those milestones only sprung up a few weeks ago in February, and even more achievements are already being announced today.

Between February and now, Viber has already jumped from 50 million users to 70 million users, who just so happen to talk for more than a billion minutes and send over a billion text messages per month. Daily, those numbers translate to over 7 million calls and 40 million texts, within which location sharing is being used about 10 percent of the time.

With growth like that, the migration onto new platforms only makes sense, which is why the company has announced versions of its highly popular VoIP/messaging app for BlackBerry and Windows Phone. The app will launch in beta on both platforms.

Viber for BlackBerry Beta and Viber for Windows Phone 7 Beta will come with Viber messaging, letting people share photos, text, and their location with other Viber users. There’s no friend requesting whatsoever — if they’re on Viber, the app will know and let you message them.

Once Viber feels comfortable about the messaging capabilities on these beta apps, it will launch full versions of the Viber app (voice calls included) for both platforms.

Turns out Robin hit the nail on the head with this prediction: “My educated guess is that this will become a stunningly big hit in no time.”

Best regards
the Viber Team.
