No permanent groups like BBM. Thats all i have been looking for. I have tried at least 5 apps and none do it.

Just a simple chat app that has permanent groups (with no icon always in the notification area). Where a bunch of people can chat, share pics, and audio. Like BBM that works on android/iphone/BB.

Does anyone have any more suggestions for an app i can try?

this will become more popular when world capable android phones are more common.

I travel internationally a lot....i'm in south korea at the moment actually. When i do this i swap back to my BB 9650 JUST to use bbm. In case some of you don't realize, if you are traveling internationally you will be charged per incoming and per outgoing text message. But using something like bbm is considered data where as a text message is not. So the bbm falls within your unlimited data plan which for international use is really cheap. If pingchat is similar to bbm in that it will be a "data" service and not sms then i for one will be all over this when the time is right.

Just what I want: A bunch of nerds finding out a way to bother me in realtime! ;) :p

What was your ping ID again? :p

Srsly though, I think my posts in this thread got wiped in the crash or whatever and since I see the Dev has popped in figured I'd ask a question. as soon as I signed up I was getting spammed? That made me uninstall, didn't try to add anyone, didnt give out my id and within 10 minutes a couple whacky conversations popped up. So how does that happen? Is it fixed? and when will it be available BB OS6?

Groups would be great, and yes all you texters txt is fine, but we used to have a lot of fun with bb messenger "back in the day" aught 8 I think it was when few had unlimited texting and BB ruled the earth.
