The state of messaging on BlackBerry 10
I don't get all the "hoopla" around Whatsapp.
In order to text someone normally, you need their phone number.
In order to message someone through Whatsapp, you need their phone number.
Now, before you bring up text allowance vs. data. Let me just say that: In 2013, if you are be restricted to less than 250 texts messages with your plan, you are getting hosed!

on a global scale, whatsapp is definitely the one app that is more important than skype/netflix.

It cracks me up that people talk about BBM like it is a godsend, but state they don't understand the attraction to others trying to replicate it, and across platforms nonetheless. I hope BB10 ends up with KIK or whatsapp or others on it. I want to be able to have good group messaging across multiple platforms. It would great if RIM would just put BBM on all platforms.
