Any Hope For Playbook BBM Update to include BBMgroups?

**henry007** · 01-18-2013, 04:33 PM

so I have been using the playbook for about a month now and I realised why I can't stay on my playbook for a long while. the groups are missing and then when the fone goes beep and the playbook doesn't I just know I have to drop the playbook for a second which I find quite annoying sometimes. hope something would be done about this and better still the bb10 OS for playbook.....I know I know but a guy can dream can't he?

this is really one of my big complaints too. Not having groups really hinders bridging the devices. I need to walk by my phone charging every once in a while to check for group updates.

I've got my fingers crossed for bb10 on the pb. I would think the bridge would be even more integrated then (being the same os)

I agree. groups and mms is all that is missing for me. my bbm status right now is "I hope 2013 brings bbm groups to playbook"

Yes it's been said that BBM by the way of BlackBerry10 will come to the Playbook. BBM on BlackBerry10 looks to be super charged with video chat,possibly screen and file sharing too.

The thing is that no one has said when. We will all see soon what BBM on BlackBerry10 is like

looking forward to it.

With the exception of making/receiving a phone call and BBM groups, my 9930 is rarely used. I sure hope BBM groups become part of the bridge lineup (i'm sure it will). Since I purchased the OEM PlayBook Mini Keyboard I do almost all typing on it. Thats why I'm changing to a ALL touch BB10. I hope it works out for me

as for me I would wait to see if bb10 OS is coming to playbook and whether I still need a bbZ10 after the upgrade becsuse I really love the screen real estate of the playbook and I don't want to go back

Sounds YOU have a plan, I also took that into consideration. I guess I just want the LATEST, GREATEST BLACKBERRY device available
