Seriously...am I missing out?

Not a single.person I know has BBM or a blackberry.

Am I missing out on a good feature?

Sure but if you have no one to BBM then clearly it's not a 'good' feature for you. It's a useless one.

[Daniel Irving]

Yeah. It sucks. I LOVE BB....had a 9900, now my Z10.

No one else in my circles had a BB, and there is no "chat" sites to meet people...

No sites to meet people? This place is even riddled with gay/bi men!

Well then maybe you should invite your friends to be on BBM I'm sure you have Some friends using iPhone or some Android phone. They can download BBM & experience how nice it is.

The BBM voice is clearer than the normal phone calls I can make on my network, provided in in wifi.

I know what you're saying, and yes, BBM is a great chat feature when you get it going, but if you don't have the BBM contacts you won't know,
Asking/hasling your friends to get BBM is not the answer, some take great pride in saying "I wouldn't download that crap onto my iphone" Oh well, their loss.
BlackBerry could do more, I would love to see a "real time chat room " for BBM (channels is not what I mean)
There was in BBOS a Chatroom that you logged in with your pin and was quite good, privacy was good and you could then add them to your BBM for private chat,
Can't remember what it was called but it's not available for bb10,
Like I say BBM is great, I have about 15 contacts and love using it, but you need the participants
Sorry for the long post but I wish BlackBerry would put the spark back into BBM.

even though I know several people with BB (my husband included) I don't use BBM, just use text instead.

[lynxs_claw]

That's too bad. I have 65 contacts and 5 Groups and bbm works really really well out for me and my contacts. Most are have BlackBerry devices (I'm in Canada) and a few are on iphones and Android devices.

Same here! I never got a personal BBM message except for the group updates that I really don't like so I decided to leave the group. Now my BBM turns into introvert mode.

BlackBerry isn't as popular as it used to be (unfortunately) so for some people they don't have any contacts. I'm lucky I've got about 23 contacts. And I'm active on some BBM channels.
You could do that? Get involved in some BBM channels. It's not exactly the same as messaging one person directly but you'll get to use it and there's a chance of meeting people to add that way.

If you have Whatsapp, you don't miss anything. Same concept.

I prefer Whatsapp. Works better cross-platform. And the BlackBerry 10 Whatsapp app is the best app in BlackBerry World.

I don't agree, BBM is much better,
It's the detail that counts,
Things like show what I'm listening to, so cool and an I've breaker as well.

I have whatsapp and BBM, for me BBM is far better even on cross platform.

Most people have unlimited text these days whereas BBM and even what's app consume data (albeit minuscule amounts) like my son who has an iPhone says, "dad just text me so I don't have to use my data" bit I like the D and R so I know my child has at. least read the message.

But he makes a valid point. If texting is free on most plans these days, why would ppl want to use data based messenger services, especially given the high wireless rates we pay in Canada.

Because different countries have different plans. Even sending sms uses up data

All of my friends have BBM now, even the ones who are not on BlackBerry and that's the main IM I use

[bohehiamsummer]

In my part of the world, whatsapp is the main deal. The only other friend who has a BlackBerry is one whose gf hails from jakarta.

In any case, the Q10 is pretty cool and all for me

Half the people on my list aren't even activated bbm contacts anymore.

[Crypt1c]

I prefer BBM over text, but I text more:/ I don't feel the need to harass my friends. I think once video calling goes cross-platform then it will really take off. Face time is only for Apple products. I don't even know what Android natively for video calls. For now just make some friends that don't live in your country, then you'll use it.

I love BBM and even though I don't have many individual contacts, I am in a couple of groups and I have allot of fun with my BBM groups.

I hardly ever, pretty much never use BBM! But That said, this guy must have no friends. I didn't read the OP so sorry if there is some better reason for this

Q10, Q5, Z30... Damn I love leaks too much!

Unless you have an absolutely tiny data plan BBM isn't going to make much of an impact. My 48-hour usage for cellular is less than a megabyte, and Wi-Fi also less than a megabyte.

Have both...use both. No strong preference for one over the other...it's all good.
