virtuoso01: that is particularly untrue! whatsapp does not only run on bb , android, and iOS....roger that? the only step up needed by whatsapp is to include file sharing |

OCTAVO: Question for you? How many people still use java phones. You'll have to be a caveman to still be using one. Windows OS. Dont know of many users on that either. On your question as to whether everyone gives a hoot about bbm. BBM had over 10 million downloads on Google Play Store alone. That is besides the figures on apple store too. So Mr. It looks like you are the only one who doesnt give a hoot, which seriously I doubt cos if you didnt, you wouldnt be posting. 1 Like |

alotofgrace: ......and the fact that whatsapp is notoriously insecure. You don't believe me? Then wait till your phone gets stolen and see what happens. It took me 2 weeks of back and forth mails to deactivate it. It so happens that the stolen fon was a blackberry and the whatsapp was installed on it. A simple log on to another phone with the new bbm using my existing BBID was all it took to transfer the id on the new phone. And that took less than 5 mins. 2 weeks down the line and I have still not deactivated the whatsapp. 1 Like |

I tried to download it from Google play but got a message that my device is not compatible. my device is SG tab2, 10.1, any hope? |

Ruq: This don't even need to ponder on. The creation of the BBM app just proved that every BlackBerry device just got shitier than what it was before. I can tell you people never saw this coming, it just goes to tell you that what BlackBerry users have been buying all this while is a well designed phone that already has an in built and personal messenger. No one asked if you regretted not getting a bb although the fact that you mention it suggests you really did regret not getting one. Hey!, you downloaded it, so whats your fuss. And I'm sure you kept your eyes peeled for when RIM finally decided to launch. 10 million downloads in less than 24 hours and some critter still says RIM didn't do their research well? Common, does whatsapp has that record? NO APP IN THE WORLD HAS THAT RECORD. Dude, you said it yourself, the blackberry phones are well designed. GREAT admission from a clueless BB critic. 1 Like |

princefunmi:Dude the fact the you and your friends don't use java phones anymore doesn't mean others don't use it , Mr I LIVE IN THE SKY...so wat if BBM has 10 million downloads...what were u expecting before, this is plain simple..it was newly released and since it is free for you to download all you lose is some data in downloading lobatan...had it been that it had a price tag for downloading do you think the download would be that much...abeg make we hear word jhur... And on whatsapp you can block contacts..even tho the block contacts can still read ur status but he can't send u msg (almost d same as deleting on bbm)..although I rock both bbm and whatsapp and odas IMs...at the end of the say shebi na to chat...just go with the flow jhur 2 Likes |

Re: BBM On Android And Iphone: My Questions by chiefololade: 4:33pm On Oct 28, 2013 |
Though I am presently using tecno to ping but was a constant bb user since 2011. When I switched to tecno I didn't really enjoy whatsapp for the following reasons 1. Privacy is so poor in such a way that you will just see anybody on your chat and I so much hate the last seen feature cos people will be disturbing you and still blame you for not replying them. 2. Typing on bbm is more efficient than on whatsappdont know if anyone has ever noticed this... Irrespective of the keyboard of your device, they are different. 3. Present Status of whatsapp affects the operation of the phone.. try putting your status in offline. 4. Viewing profile picture is not so good as the picture will have to load for some seconds before it can be clear. 5. The messenger comes with an expiry date 2 Likes |

OP, I disagree, with your BBM for all, so data plan for all. I wrote something about it on another thread. Amma search and bring it here. All data used in legacy BB phones pass through blackberry's data centers which compress the data heavily so that the bandwidth eventually used is so small that networks can afford to give out bogus data plans without stressing their capacity. For the Android and iOS however, the data is direct from server to phone. So special data compression. So no cheaper data plans. It works like this. On a BB if you point your browser to the url nairaland.com, the phone sends a request to blackberry's servers, which request the page from oga Seun's servers compresses it and sends it to the phone. On Android or iOS, the phone requests the page from Seun's servers directly, no compression involved. That's why Opera Mini and UCWeb are popular with those platforms. They offer that kind of compression in a way. BBM messages still pass through BB servers, which is why as Android users will notice, the data used by BBM wouldn't be so much. OP, hope you get it now? Whatsapp matter na different case. Just yesterday somebody took my number from one useless group chat. BBM offers privacy and beautiful functionality. For free. Whatsapp , infact, let's not go there. 1 Like |

if u change ur phone, and sign in fresh to d bbm, u will be given a new pin. it shd not be a big deal because u only give ur pin to new invitees, once u get a new pin, ur old contacts are still there, u just start giving d new pin to new invitees. thatsall. one thing i like about d bbm is d updates. i don't need to broadcast(cos i hate it too) i just update my status and my contacts get d info. simple. whatsapp no get status updates. if i block u on whatsapp, u start disturbing me with phone call, very annoying. but an alternative to bbm 1 Like |

It should be. What If I put my pin on so many threads on Nl and change my phone tomorrow and my pin changes, what if someone sees the old pin and need to contact me. Bro, changing of pin makes no sense. Pin should be linked to user's email address and not devices. If I change my phone 5 times in 3 years, my pin changes 5 times. It doesn't make sense. That's the reason I never bought Blackberry and they are doing same with Android and iOS again. |

OCTAVO: Mr OCTAVO! It seems you dont know what they call iM. You quoted me in a BBM Whatsapp comparison thread. I said the feature of BBM being able to share ANY FILE beats whatsapp.. You mentioned Whatsend! Fine, I have checked the Whatsend... its total POO! The app got just 137 downloads on Playstore. shioor! Both users must have d app to make the sharing work! Na rubbish joor. Fine, RIM did not plan it well from d scratch! They started it for Business Purposes... Team Boss can connect to thousand of colleagues in just 1click. Its very clear, BBM killed whatsapp and I'm sure Whatsapp team know that. Guess what, the most unique feature. .. you never lose your PIN! What else. 1 Like |

Re: BBM On Android And Iphone: My Questions by Nobody: 5:58pm On Oct 28, 2013 |
Tupacx: Where did you get that information from. The BBM app, only runs on Android OS 4.0 and above. And if my memory serves me correctly the SG tab 2 is on 4.0 So for the life of me I can't figure out why it won't run. It works on tablet, that I know for sure. Fellow should just download it from elsewhere other than playstore. That's what playstore keeps saying if you are using a tablet. At least thats what it said the last time I checked. 1 Like |
