    Because rim removed the "Select all" option while sending a broadcast, i have to choose my 90 contacts one by one every time I want to send a broadcast (and I do that a lot) so this actually sux (anyone knows why they did that?)

    Today, and instead of choosing to send a bc I mistakenly choose to start a multi person chat, and because it gave me the same screen as the sending a bc does so I selected my 90 contacts and started a multi person chat, with 90 contacts.

    5 hours passed and I can't end what I started
    Every time a person speaks it re invites everyone who left the chat
    So am left with 90 angry Contacts (that are constantly decreasing as we speak)
    What I can do
    Please help me
    Am losing Contact and my friends are mad

    Sorry but it does not bring up the same screen.
    BBM > Start Multiperson Chat brings up a screen that says Select to all you to select your contacts.
    BBM > Send Broadcast Message brings up a screen that says Broadcast and the "To:" compose screen.

    That's two different screens to me.

    Personally, I hate broadcast messages and have deleted people on my list that continuously send broadcast messages. Its annoying. Stop.

    The select your contacts screen is the same

    Personally I love broadcasts and have deleted people that never sends any, and am not gonna stop because you think it's annoying.

    This is a feature that has been talked about a lot already. Personally, I'm glad it isn't there, since I would get so many broadcast messages at odd times throughout the day (I always felt it would be a nice deterrent from getting so many useless broadcasts if they took the option away). It wouldn't surprise me if it came back in an update, though.

    How do those two screens look the same to you?

    Those are Four screens not two
    And the select contacts screen ia the one you actually select contacts from, which is quite the same

    Technically it's three screens: tfp is showing the first screen with two images, one with the broadcast message highlighted and the second with multi person chat highlighted.

    I have to agree with tfp; these two choices take you to different screens.
