Ignorance. The fact that they ask shows they haven't even tried it.

That is sad. BBM is the best messaging app and the main reason I carried a Blackberry for so long because I could chat with everyone I knew. Now I get the same Awesome chatting regardless of the platform! It's a Win/Win

Aren't you implying a position of superiority by saying "I weep for the younger generations" therefore being just as pretentious as noted prior?

I believe that he's acknowledging the fact that most young people today are just too set on their own point of view and feel entitled to being right about everything even they are not.

Can/should they really be talking about something they don't know/never tried? We all know the answer for this one.

It's not prejudice, I guess, just observing facts. And of course, it doesn't aply to everyone. But applies to a lot of them.

The comments are definitely ignorant.

You could substitute the name of any messaging service and make a point just as "valid" as these:

"What's the point of having WhatsApp on your iPhone? You have an iPhone for a reason! "

"If you have gTalk please refrain from speaking to me"

"What's the point of iMessage?"

None are particularly more valid nor more pointless than the other. Preference, features, and availability come into play.

These pretentious Twitter writers are the poor saps who find it impossible to string together a coherent thought longer than 140 characters... Leave them to their ignorance and enjoy BBM, apparently several million new users are...

I think it has less to do with BlackBerry and more to do with the mentality that exists with iOS that it's "us agains them"

go back and look at how enraged they were when instagram launched on android.

I thought some iOS users were going to end up in rage-induced comas.

Are we really surprised by this lol?

It doesn't bother me a bit...if anything, BlackBerry should be happy. as long as they're talking about BBM, it's some sort of advertisement. Mayb those people will eventually come around if BBM gains enough traction

If this makes you "weep for the younger generation" what do you do with serious issues? People can have different opinions and likes than you. It doesn't make either of you better.

This is nothing to get riled up about. Everything has haters EVERYTHING. You could search a completely different trend on twitter and find people complaining. Focus on the positives like the fact that BBM has over 10 million downloads

This exactly. I have been on twitter and the only complaints are from iPhone users. Not one peep from any android fans. It?s hilarious actually. They are enraged. LOL. I will admit, there are tons of tweets super stoked for BBM also. Let the number of new accounts be the judge

Is it any more pretentious than people here saying that they are going to switch to BBM exclusively? That would mean telling all of your contacts that they must install BBM in order to message with you.

It could be argued that they are actually going against the grain of the millions (self included) that downloaded BBM.

Could it be? Are we "the crowd?"
