12 inches!:
Point of correction pple, the reason I use bb is not because of bbm but because bis is cheap. For 1k on etisalat, I have unlimited data, my push email which is more than enuff requirement for me. I'm not like those android users that cry over mb or switch of their data network from time to time. My bb is more than enuff for my internet needs. When data on android becomes as cheap as 1k I will make no hesitation to consider switching but for now, na bb tinzzz ooo.

PS: Even Android users all want to use our lovely cheap unlimited data bis on their fones *tongue out*
Eiyaaaaa.... Sowi ooo!!!
I use MTN BBC MONTHLY subscription on my SONY XPERIA S(Android)

akanniade10: Am a WhatApp user, buh having both on the same platform wouldnt be a bad idea. Will prefer BBM tho.


Aesthetically wise, BBM is uglier looking. Their only advantage is the better emojis/emoticons. Hoping the BBM app on android is way better looking than on BB devices.

rman: BBM is better than WhatsApp IMO.

I don't like the idea of automatically having you as a chat buddy because you have my number and whatsapp installed on your phone.


That's the general concensus but if u can hand out your number to someone, how's if different from handing out your pin? The same way people can collect your number, they can also collect yer pin. *yells* Next!!

Still don't fancy it.... Besides it's not going to be FREE and its available for Android 4.0+

cecegorz:
We seems to be on the same plane of thought.
Heads- bbm is going to be the chat king across all OS platforms, Whatsapp owners might as well look for another line of business.
Tails- All BB running 6.0 OS down is going down the drain, because they aren't different from the mass market Nokias and Tecnos if you take out bbm.
Who will want to spend money on a smart phone that has no wifi tethering capability added to the shallow screen size of these BBs.
Another thing I forsee is that if this works out, expect a massive roll out of activating BIS on alternative devices from all networks. None of them will want to miss out on the windfall.

Which of the Tecnos are you talking about? The android phone better than the bb phone you just mentioned??

With BBM I have control over who I add. With Whatsapp, a mad man can add your number and talk to you.

cupid4ig: just watch and see


when whatsapp allows you to ping with your credit and BBM will need a full subscription before any show.
ABIA!! whatsapp rules,

kobikwelu: First of all, What made RIM famous is not BBM, buts its Push Email capabilities..It had the best and most secure platform to implement work email servers...

but in emerging markets, you could say BBM is the major reason why Blackberry phones became no1

Android push email is faster than BB's by a few seconds on the same network, i think its about the hardware superiority (high end android) or the fact that BBM mails hit a proxy server first.

No wonder bb10 does not come with whatsapp

justfree.:
yea that is true cuz of the bbm voice and video chat cool

BBM video chat like VOIP?? lol skype had it from inception in the Android play store, how come whatsapp became more popular without it

VOIP IS NOT DATA FRIENDLY, it cant be a winner either way you look at it.

Nigerians will embrace VOIP when wifi becomes widespread.

BTW why are Nigerians not making 3g calls on their 3g phones even with front camera?

BBM for Android & iOS mobile platforms.............. Good!
BBM is the best, no doubt!
But come to think of it, why do i need a blackberry bold5 again or torch2 {#50k} with just 'BBM' when i can get a tecno n7 {#28k} with BBM, android version 4.0, with mad graphics & can play hd games?
This is the end of blackberry. Whoever brought the idea................. Kudos!
