I don't want BBM and I don't think Android needs it. The BlackBerry users who are afraid to switch because they don't want to lose BBM need a reality check.

 

Longest sentence ever.

 

Wow... that really needs some punctuation.

And I'm pretty sure BBM will never be available on anything other than a Blackberry.

 

No, it's there.... GoogleTalk...
My wife installed it on her iPhone (<-rookie) and we can chat. As well, there is a googletalk app for BB, so everyone is happy in a kinda, sorta, not way...

 

First, please punctuate your post...it was difficult reading it and understanding it.
Secondly, Yes we have gtalk. Why do you wanna get complicated with pins and such like bbm?
Thirdly, gtalk is better than bbm in: 1. You can chat with anyone with a gmail account vs only blackberry users. 2. Nearly all smartphones have a gtalk app, so you can talk to anyone using a gtalk app vs only blackberry users again. 3. It's easy to add a friend. No pins no hassle required. 4. You can use your phone to chat and then switch to your computer very easily. 5. You can view the history of the chats on gmail AND your phone.

Now, again, why do you want bbm?

 

Exactly. Plenty of messaging power in th Droid.

 

BBM won't ever work on another device unless BB wants it to. Can't see them ever doing that...too much of a draw for many BB owners.

 

lolwtf?

do not understand.

 

WTB translator app.

 

Like has been said before unless the phone is allowed into RIM's proxies and that aint a gonna happen until RIM gives up... (or starts charging people to use the service cause they aren't making enough on their own devices)....
