[kbz1960]

That makes my day! Thanks

[anon(2692400)]

I just hope it has skype video call.

[BigBuffBerry]

I hope it is a reasonable price.

[morpho4444]

it will cost 19.99 USD

[bulls2213]

Christ. So much for that

[adjdudley21]

and u know this becauuussseeeeee?????

[kbz1960]

Wow that is quit expensive. What do you get for that cost over any other IM on any other platform?

Edit: Why is it $10 for iphone/ipad and $20 for RIM products?

[howarmat]

there arent any other IM programs available for the PB.....monopolies are nice sometimes

[google-man]

This is great but how do you know it's $19.99?

[anindoc]

it will cost 19.99 USD

thats pretty steep for an app, well if it gives me video,voice chat then i might be looking to dish out that amount..... Monday is just around the corner

[google-man]

"I just hope it has skype video call."

That would be great!

[lophreaque]

i would pay $20 for an app that allowed sms on my PB.
Skype would be a bonus for sure. I might pay $20 for that alone, though I use it about twice a year. I just want it on my PB.
I don't care for any other IM app and wouldn't even load it for free.
Nobody I communicate with uses any of this other IM stuff, sms is king in all the professional business environments I've seen.

LOL so true. I think with this being released in the not so distant future there will be competitors.

[lophreaque]

Let me clairfy - sms without some Rube - Goldberg path through email.

I will quote Nelson Muntz from the Simspons... "Haaaa haaaa!" *pointing sarcastically*

...but its a good sign that IM+ is coming to the playbook....I just hope its not some half-baked, laggy piece of crap where a real working version is... "coming soon".

[Cleanton]

USD 19.90 is very expensive. I will not but till they drop the price.

[bounce007]

I doubt there will be a video/voice call feature for IM+ and with that said I wouldn't spend $19.99 on it.

Thats not very nice, but it is funny. I don't expect video call, but video call would be the only reason to buy it. I'm currently using the android version of skype and chat works good only thing i'm missing my video call.

[dieselville]

No offense to the developers but if its $20.00 they aren't going to make much money. Not many people are willing to shell out $20.00 for an app just for instant messaging.

[ODAAT]

To be fair to Shape,I have used IM+ Pro on my BB for years across multiple devices and it has always been extremely good at what it does. The Push messaging system is awesome. Having said that, a lot of it is about portablility-being contactable on IM when I am out and about. If it only works on Wi Fi and only offers chat rather than voice or video, I might as well just carry on using it on my phone and save �20.
