BBM coming to iOS and Android this summer

[peteyt]

As people have said when I first saw this announcement earlier I thought simply one word - suicide.

For a while people claimed Blackberry was great simply because of BBM. Now not only do we have other possibly better messaging clients e.g. Whatsapp but soon BBM will be available to Android and the iPhone. It's like Microsoft selling Windows and xBox it's too main top sellers.

Blackberry are crap in the first place . all my friends that had a black berry got a iPhone

if thats true then all your friends are sheep who cares about android ios and BB windows phone is the killer and if you dont believe me then i will be laughing at you in a year or two. go check out rooms (like bbm for wp8) it 10x better, you can share a calender, and do stuff what you'd do with a fridge (all your notes pictures etc etc) and it just so much better.

A lot of my friends have BBM but they also have Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat etc.
I have enough methods of them contacting me without BBM.

I mean, I text most people.

WP8? Don't make me laugh! Android has a market share about ten times that of WP8 I believe...

Windows phone? You mean that phone with a lot less apps than all the other mobile OS's that doesn't seem to be making much of a splash.

While I'm not a fan of the iPhone if you like the iPhone you like the iPhone. Being a sheep is going to the phone because everyone else is but your telling everyone to run to Windows 8 phone and not really selling it. I have an s2 debating on getting an s3/s4 because they are great phones, great specs and great features but when my contract ends in October I will compare phones, features, pricing etc. It's people who just pick phones for fashion reasons that are the real sheeps

I am not sure if you are being serious or trolling

BlackBerry getting rid of their exclusivity with BBM is like apple putting iTunes on every mobile platform. Only reason people really buy a blackberry is for BBM and now they haven't even done that, bad move.

I think people forget that blackberry's are essentially business devices. They're only really useful for security and email are they not?

I did think the same thing..

They were pitched as business devices years ago - they are not even top for that anymore.

My previous phone was a BlackBerry Torch, which I got primarily because of BBM during the big BlackBerry hype ~3 years ago. By the end of my contract I was barely even using BBM, favouring WhatsApp instead. BBM was one of the main - possibly only - appeals of getting a BlackBerry, and now that it's not exclusive I'm sure many people will opt for better phones and operating systems, leaving BlackBerry to fall even further into decline.

I personally won't be downloading it because nobody I know still uses a BlackBerry.
