Epic. I thought they should have done this earlier.

No need for skype or whatsapp now, and I can "facetime" my parents on their iOS devices at home with my Z10

I think it's great if used properly. People that have iphones or Android that use BBM would be curious of BlackBerry. Best advertising platform ever

I think they should have waited to get in more BB10 sales before making this move! One less reason people have to go for BB

I think now is the perfect timing with BBM channels and everything BBM as become!

So, not wishing to upset anyone, but why would an iPhone user (say) prefer BBM to Whatsapp? I don't use Whatsapp so I don't have an angle here. Is it buggy, or battery intensive? What's BBM's big advantage now the installed base is tiny? Just askin'

I don't think this is a good idea for BB.
BBM is one of the main reasons many have stuck with BB through the bad times.

The BBM advantage is that no-one need to know your contact numbers before they chat with you. With WhatsApp, once someone gets hold of your numbers, they can send you chats.

BBM was only exclusive to blackberry. Now BBM is going to be like whatsapp.

I think this is great news. With the launch of BBM Channels along with Voice and Video this could make BBM a major social network.
