WhatsApp Messenger is a smartphone messenger available for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, and Nokia phones. WhatsApp uses your 3G or WiFi (when available) to message with friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, pictures, audio notes, and video messages. First year FREE! ($1.99/year after)
WHY USE WHATSAPP:
? NO HIDDEN COST: Once you and your friends download the application, you can use it to chat as much as you want. Send a million messages a day to your friends for free! WhatsApp uses your Internet connection: 3G/EDGE or Wi-Fi when available.
? MULTIMEDIA: Send Video, Images, and Voice notes to your friends and contacts.
? GROUP CHAT: Enjoy group conversations with your contacts.
? NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: Just like there is no added cost to send an international email, there is no cost to send WhatsApp messages internationally. Chat with your friends all over the world as long as they have WhatsApp Messenger installed and avoid those pesky international SMS costs.
? SAY NO TO PINS AND USERNAMES: Why even bother having to remember yet another PIN or username? WhatsApp works with your phone number, just like SMS would, and integrates flawlessly with your existing phone address book.
? NO NEED TO LOG IN/OUT: No more confusion about getting logged off from another computer or device. With push notifications WhatsApp is ALWAYS ON and ALWAYS CONNECTED.
? NO NEED TO ADD BUDDIES: Your Address Book is used to automatically connect you with your contacts. Your contacts who already have WhatsApp Messenger will be automatically displayed under Favorites, similar to a buddy list. (You can of course always edit Favorites any way you like)
? OFFLINE MESSAGES: Even if you miss your push notifications or turn off your phone, WhatsApp will save your messages offline until you retrieve them during the next application use.
? AND MUCH MORE: Share location, Exchange contacts, Custom wallpaper, Custom notification sounds, Landscape mode, Precise message time stamps, Email chat history, Broadcast messages and MMS to many contacts at once and much much more!

I recently moved from a BB (Storm 2) to an Android (Moto Defy) and was used to having BBM (BlackBerry Messenger). With this app I don't miss BBM so much. I'm still able to send international messages without getting extra charges to my friends and family with BB, iPhone, and Android. It has a few glitches? at times... Messages don't always go through, but when it does work I love it. I?m able to send text, voicenotes, pics, emoticons, videos etc. Only thing that's missing are display pics.
Some BB users have complained of not being able to send emoticons.
I just installed this app on my DX, how on earth do you add contacts to it?
I just can not get it.. HELP!!

As Whatsapp is tied to your mobile number, it will automatically check your phone address book for any Whatsapp user and add them as contacts in your app.

I haven't tried this yet I will be soon but to me the closest thing to bbm is liveprofile IMO only thing missing is group chat next update should have it tho like u I missed bbm when moving to android
Ya liveprofile is definitely the bbm equivalent now. It has the D AND the R on messages and shows when someone is typing. Not to mention it's also free. Now that they finally have blackberry support, I think they will have insane growth the next few months.
