If so, it would be stupid and bad of BB to exclude certain features. Those companies can do it but not the mighty BlackBerry?01-28-14 04:44 PMLike 0 - I don't see why BB didnt have BBM for all Android users from the get go. Especially when gingerbread makes up such a big amount of Android users (which is also proof that most people don't care about high end because they don't need it and that there's a huge non high end market). I find it stupid and bad to exclude some users when other messaging services don't.
I find that BB should make BBM available for everyone and everything.01-28-14 04:49 PMLike 0 - I don't see why it wouldn't. Doesn't all the other messaging services, Whatsapp, Viber, etc. have all its features available for all who have the service regardless of the phone or software?

And it should be on Windows Phone too, it should be everywhere, but maybe it hasn't been released on WP yet because BB first wanted release it on the two largest platforms and then the rest. I doubt it hasn't been released on WP yet because the amount of Windows Phone users isn't big enough because if BB wants BBM to be used over the competition and if Whatsapp is on WP, then BBM should be there too.
I wonder how I would go if BB charged the same or a little less than Whatsapp on the platforms that Whatsapp charges in like iOS.01-29-14 12:30 AMLike 0 - I see and agree with you, but if BlackBerry didn't release for this version since the beginning, there is clearly a limitation. I really don't know what, but if there is something, we will se soon. Hope they can bring BBM 2.0 for everyone.
Posted via awesome BlackBerry Z10!01-29-14 12:35 AMLike 0 - What bugs? I use it on an iPod touch on iOS 6 and it has worked flawlessly so far.

I lost literally all of my iOS BBM friends back to Whatsapp due to this situation.
WP support should be a strategic decision rather than based upon number of users. What if just on of all your friends has a Windows phone? Then the entire circle of friends has to stick to whatsapp or likes.

- If you take a closer look at the many related threads in this forum you will find that the experiences that people made with BBM on iOS are very "volatile". Some are ok like you are, but many experienced lack of stability, reliability and speed.

I was sitting with an iOS BBM friend the other day, both of us on the latest SW versions, and on Wifi and 3G with strong reception. We tried to figure out what the issues are that constantly bother our other friends when using BBM.
While testing, we literally SAW the following happen:
- iOS user sends message A
- BB user receives A; iOS gets green R
- iOS sends B; B stays on grey network sign;
- B never arrives on BB
- after quite a while iOS sends message C to BB
- BB receives C instantly; iOS gets a green R for C
- message B still shows grey sign on iOS
- 3 days later, message B still shows grey on iOS and never arrived on BB
No, it still doesn't work reliably. I wish it would. I'm about to losing my last BBM friends, and feel like nothing ever happens, except the release of channels and other features of less importance.02-05-14 03:27 AMLike 0 - Sorry, no.

It does not help to close eyes and believe everything's good just because some people never had problems, and/or that defective devices must be the reason for all problems. There are tons of threads on CB reflecting the frustration of iOS BBM users (not so much Android, so I tend to believe that there is also a basic problem on iOS 7.x), not all of them do have defective devices that make their BBM fail.
I wish that BB would focus on resolving these issues with all their strength and competency that is still there, rather than doing channels and video calling etc. All these nice things don't matter, if the basic functionality, messaging, doesn't work reliably.02-06-14 08:22 AMLike 0 - Let me tell you that I have 3 different Blackberries, and that I had ~10 iOS BBM friends (not any more!), and we all had and still have these problems on a regular basis.

But again, I did not say your lying I'm just saying not everyone is experiencing those issues.
Posted via CB1002-06-14 10:00 AMLike 0 - I did not say BBM for IOS doesn't have issues but IOS limitation is a big reason for this and messages not sending is not something I see everyday, my friend said she had that happen once and I had this happen once yesterday but other than that it's the normal tick and D problem which we all know is an IOS limitation.
But again, I did not say your lying I'm just saying not everyone is experiencing those issues.
