bbm, Blackberry Messenger, as the name states, is only for BlackBerry users. You can however download "whatsapp" (works like bbm, but not quite) in the "ovi store", and hopefully your android, blackberry and iphone friends have the app installed as well.

ps: yes, you are better off getting a blackberry

There's no BBM on the Nokia (or any other phone at this stage) sorry. If your friends have Blackberry's then that's the one to use for BBM.

If they don't chances are they may use another Instant Messenger type program. So, then keep the N8.

In summary, get what suits you best.

As the name implies, it's a messenger service for Blackberries.

Huh? How would having an iPad help the OP use BBM on his Nokia phone?
