hi all, is there an app that can work as BBM? and is there a way to add hotmail as push email just like a BB?

thanks

well there is ping! with which you can chat with other iphone users that have tht app, but no bb -> apple messenger

and i believe you cannot set the push thing

Try WhatsApp

In short, BBM is run through the BlackBerry system, and is compatible with no others.

Might try Yahoo IM, there is a RIM version that uses push technology and can be used without ruining BlackBerry battery life, that's how I chat with my Iphone friends from my BlackBerry.

Just use your unlimited SMS option. I think it's the best way since PUSH with certain applications are not always 100%.

I'm just saying...

hi thanks for the reply - I am in australia so there is no unlimited SMS option. I only ask, coz at the moment i use BB. and most of my friends (who are in USA, Singapore, around asia basically) use BB too. So msging them thru BBM is the easiest way for me. I was thinking of switching to iPhone if there was an app that could retain this function. I can modify the iphone to work with a BB plan. but seeing the iphone has no PIN - i dont think there would be a way. might be wrong though.

thanks all

Alternatively, when you get an iPhone, get BeeJive, and use IM (Hotmail, Yahoo, GoogleTalk, etc)...

I don't think one should be held to a device because of a feature like Blackberry Messenger.

SHEESH! Iphone junkies want everything!!

Can I get an OEM apple logo back plate for my 9630 Tour????

Can I get the apple app store on my blackberry ???

brdl04 - im not an iphone user. I am a blackberry user. was only thinking of using an iphone.

thanks to all responses

Ya, it is not possible unfortunately. Using a 3rd party IM client and communicating over that will be your best bet. Just tell all your BB buddies to sign up for and use a free messenger and get yourself either beejive or ebuddy to chat with that all you want SMS free.
