BBM Beta goes live in Windows Phone Store for downloading

If you've joined the BBM Beta program, there's good news. The BlackBerry Messenger app is now live and ready to be downloaded in the Windows Phone Store, allowing Windows Phone customers to message friends on the BBM service on iOS, Android, and BlackBerry.

To download the app, you must be part of the BlackBerry Beta program, which filled up quickly. In addition to the Windows Phone-centric ability to pin to the Start screen, here are some of the features that the app brings to Windows Phone:

  • BBID Setup and Log-in (for Whitelisted BBIDs)
  • Create BBM Profile
  • Invite a contact and suggested contacts (people you know)
  • 1-to-1 & Multi-person Chat
  • Contact Categories
  • Manage Settings
  • BBM Groups
  • Notifications and in-app "splats" for new content. See them in Feeds, Contacts when they've sent you a message, etc.

Additionally, BlackBerry is also reporting the following known issues:

  • Invites and acceptances don't send when Windows Phone goes out of WiFi coverage
  • A few newer emoticons are not rendering properly (i.e brrrr, and flex and @-@)
  • Windows Phone shows as available for BBM Voice call although feature is not supported (seen on Android and iOS, not BlackBerry 10)
  • Error popup appears when using "Find Friends" and the "OK" button is selected
  • Suggested Contacts tab only shows users already using BBM, but lists them as potential contacts when BBM is initially launched

Are you part of the beta program? How are you enjoying the new BBM app? Let us know what you like and if you've discovered any bugs or issues while using the latest cross-platform messaging service that's available to Windows Phone.

Thanks to all our tippers for letting us know!

  • Already downloaded up and running.. Scoping out app right now.
  • Yup just got mine!
  • Downloaded and tested it... Very disappoint app... If your friends are not using bbm... Game over.
  • I was going to sign up for the beta but after asking my gf and a few friends the conclusion was simply don't bother. The world has moved on and this version not being feature parity with others is a let down too.
  • It's a beta.... Of course it won't have feature parity...
  • Dood! Thats the point! Just as with Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber, Telegram..... Etc.
  • It shows an error message that I don't have the permission to download the app. Any solution/reason
  • Yes, and The solution is...

  • yep me too
  • You must have submitted a different email while registering for the beta, a different one than your WP phone account.
  • Really?
  • I originally thought that but received the email on my live account.
  • Not true, I happen to be only using my live account email for registration on both parts of beta sign up.
  • i already registered with different emails.. but it's saying that u don't have the permission to download this app... what i hav to do now??
  • Don't fill in the fields on the page. Click the sign in button on the bottom first.  
  • What page and sign in? -_-"
  • can u paste the link in comments.. plssssss
  • There is a sign in/log in button below the entry fields. Click on it. You will then be able to sign in with your pre submitted credentials.
  • If you're having trouble go to this link https://beta.webapps.blackberry.com/threads/view/23587

    Happy BBM day everyone!
  • The app looks sexy and love the layout, just dont have bbm friends haha
  • Me neither, for this reason is i'm posting my PIN here haha
  • True... the UI is awesome... but I could just find 3 friends using it. I will keep it though at least for the modern metro UI. Whatsapp need to learn for Blackberry.
  • 7CE99131 add me and I'll invite you to the WP group I just created.
  • Add me, 7D1004C1

  • Yaar can u share her pin ? 7CFD4041
  • That's because WhatsApp is very intrusive and adds all your contacts automatically. Do you really msg want 185 contacts?
  • 7c9779bb , I don't have any one..

  • Meh....I miss my Blackberry days, but now I have no one who does this anymore. It's sad really :(
  • Exactly how I feel!
  • Nostalgia
  • Downloading. I was in the waiting list. Wow thats osum
  • Same here, and its working fine :)
  • I tried accepting your request many times.
  • Let's have a group with all the Windows Phone users in India. Add me - 7ca64767! P.S. I'm not being regionalist here. :P
  • I wanna be in...
  • I was on the waitlist..but i can download it still..;)
  • Extremely buggy. Crashes on multicast, when you push yourself on upper left corner, and others I don't remember all of them at the moment. They have lots of work to do.....
  • That's the reason we're testing it, I've noticed a few issues myself that I need to provide feedback for ;-)
  • Already gave two feedbacks. When we switch between apps the invite page does not close even after ee click cancel button. When we hit back button on WP phone the BBM closes but when we reopen it jumps to the same page, finally had to force shutdown BBM. Also we cant see the other person typing unlike other apps. Edit: the typing status is seen now. It was showing only if both are using WP, now it is showing for all handsets.
  • Hey... Remember is Beta Testing. It is obvious it'll have some bugs, we're testing it in order to make it better.
  • Yup I downloaded n using it...lets c what all v have in it
  • How long does the loading screen continue after login? It's been 5 minutes for me.
  • Yeah, it took about 5 mins for me too. But it finally logged in. I hope they fix that.
  • It's been 10 minutes and still nothing. If I press back button and relaunch it takes me to the chat screen but there is no pin or anything. Trying again with another id now.
  • Same. I'm in but I have no pin. Everything i do causes the app to crash. When I try to report the bug it asks me for an incident number that I don't have.
  • I tried another id. And it worked. It just set up in 1 minute. I guess my old id wasn't working with it. Try making new one.
  • There will be a pin soon. Give it a few more minutes, it will tell you that your phone is registered. Then u will see ur name in the upper left corner. Then it will let you report the problems and also, it wont crash.
  • +1
  • +2
  • Its boring...u don't have permission to download
  • Only beta testers those who signed up for the program can download.
  • I am already signed in in BBMBeta
  • Same. Signed in. Got email. Cant download.
  • Just downloaded it...
  • Didn't manage to join the beta program on time sadly. I would really appreciate it if anyone could make a video review for the app, and give me the link to it C:
  • Poor firas :/ miskeen :D
  • Ya miskeen Firas!
  • It's alive!!!
  • Downloading....
  • Just downloaded. Why not share PIN here and test the app thoroughly?
  • I am encouraging on the thread listed above.
  • That would be better in a forum thread like they have on Crackberry.
  • Agreed.. Would be a nice idea to have a group on bbm for bbm WP users too
  • 7c9cd0af here. Add :) lets test this.
  • I got a mail though.
  • Yes, I'm in.
  • Be careful. If you die in the Matrix, you die in the real world.
  • I'm really bothered by the MH17 news to be happy with this.
  • Sad really. Almost ruined my birthday. :/
  • Happy Birthday Sukhi!
  • Thank you. :)
  • Just downloaded it. The UI is pretty smooth, and unlike the android or ios port, it's not a clone of the BlackBerry OS port, rather they've followed the metro design well.
  • Yes it's smooth. Startup is a little slow and bugs here and there. But would work.
  • I downloaded
  • Downloading BBM now through the link they sent to my email! Wow! Thanks bbm!
  • Share link please
  • I'm in, too!
  • Yesh, now we can infect another network, Viva la Windows Phone
  • Technically we already did think bbc not the best package for wp users but no better then nokia users
  • Downloaded.
  • Just downloaded on L720 India...waited early morning, but finally here.
  • finally
  • ...The Rock has come baaaacccckkkk...
  • Lool never stop doing what u r doing now, coz I'm too lazy to type such comments where needed.
    Someone's gotta take charge of this mission.
  • I have the same issue as some other users here. Got the email that I am a part of BBM Beta, however on Windows Phone store I get an error message that I don't have permission to download :(
  • You would have entered incorrect id when filling the form which asks for the BBM account email address and Windows store email address. Guess you would have made a typo or there is some other issue.
  • Perhaps you are right. I guess for my Windows Store ID I had put my Outlook Alias rather than the actual hotmail ID. Any idea how do I change it, while still keeping my invitation for BBM Beta intact?
  • Use the feedback form in the bbm for wp section of the blackberry beta zone site after you login
  • Great. I'll try that :) Thanks
  • Not sure if there is an option to change at BBM end because it might have registered in their servers for beta participants. Instead you can try changing the id on windows phone. Just switch the alias as primary email address and change the same on windows phone.
  • Thanks. I just changed to my alias. waiting it to sync and I'll try. Thanks :)
  • How can one change the alias on their phone?
  • Here is how to do it. http://www.wpcentral.com/how-add-alias-your-microsoft-account This article say it will show it without a hard reset, I am waiting for mine to reflect the change
  • You need to change it on MS account online and try adding that account on your phone. You can delete the original one after that, if there is no option to edit the email or you may have to reset the phone to add the alias
  • Could be. Now, even though on my phone it still shows my @hotmail.com email and I registetred with @outlook.com email, I made it primary too. Now I am able to download the BBM   So let's hope it all works :D
  • same here  
  • Same here changing alias from the site did it, even if the change didn't reflect on the Microsoft account in the phone.
  • Downloading yaaaaaai
  • Got it
  • its a'ight plenty bugs though.. emoticon to send message. cant see what you're typing
  • I am nit having that problem on 1520
  • I can see clearly but yes the emoticons are too small.
  • I tried it, and it seems like a disaster... It's to buggy, but I understand because this is just the first version. Hope they improve it soon.
  • They've updated it about 3 times last I was counting before it was released to us. No clue what those updates were for but still
  • Just crashes immediately upon opening. Doesn't work at all.
  • Laura Let the App Run.It will take awhile to grasp your Uder ID. Once thats done You will be able to Migrate your data from an old device.
  • I got it to work by turning off WiFi.
  • try removing it and reinstalling it again that worked for me.... heres my pin to try it out 7d0556c5
  • Cant even setup my profile
  • try removing it and reinstalling it again that worked for me.... here is my pin to try it out 7d0556c5
  • My pin is: 7d44d0b6
  • Checking it out
  • Not bad. Still wish the would make it so that I could be signed into BBM on multiple devices concurrently.
  • THIS IS THE GREATEST MOMENT EVER IN THE HISTORY OF WINDOWS PHONE & ALL YOU WRITE IS A SIMPLE PARAGRAPH!?!? WHERES THE PRELAUNCH PARTY, THE BLIMPS, THE DANCERS, ALL THAT STUFF!? THIS IS BBM DONT YOU KNOW!?
  • Hope you are making fun of this
    Take it easy pal, its just an app.
  • Its not that great of news se x1 had bbc which was a start but not as good as the emulater they showed off before wp leapt off a cliff
  • Downloading right now ! :)
  • No BBM Channel.
  • That will come, this is just the first version. Better to start with limited functionality first and fix the bugs, then start adding more features.
  • Exactly as it is I have a feeling this will be a battery killer
  • What is bbm channel?
  • http://www.bbm.com/bbm/en/bbm-channels.html
  • Just got my email to d/l and trying it out now
  • "Hey guys, I can BBM you with my mobile phone with Windows on it!" It's like a marriage made in 2002
  • Haha lol
  • Beuhhh!!!
  • Can you please make a review Wpcentral team
  • +1
    People with no access to the beta program would really love to see the app in action.
  • Alguien que se haya apuntado a la Beta que hable español? Hahaha
  • Yo, mi PIN: 7CCE6876
  • Yo! 7cd7b7ba
  • Aquí.

  • So am I the only one who gets a black background for a barcode and no pin??? Did ya'll create a new bb I'd or used the one u used to sign up for the beta??? Cause I'm getting alotta bug.. Can see my profile... It crashes.
  • Let the App Run for awhile.Dont touch it till it picks up your Email Id. Then you will be able to Migrate ur Data from an Old device.
  • Had the same problem. Open, close, open and leave it for it to pick up.
  • Hi, I'm having the same problem. I can download & install such BBM beta apps. However, when I login using my non-whitelisted BBID, I can enter the main menu but with all zero (00000000) PIN & no PIN Barcode (all black). I will try to use my whitelisted BBID & see how it goes....
  • okay none of my contacts use BBM anyone want to add me so we can test it
  • 7c9b4af1
  • no mail but i can download :D
  • How??
  • If by some unfathomable error, he didn't get the email, he can still download even if he didn't get the link directly. Just as long he signed up for the beta.
  • I have to wait some more. No permission to download.
  • Hey beta testers plz add me... I'm waiting for ur first invitation on my WP.... Pin: 7D027096
  • Got the mail but can't download the app? srsly?
  • Downloaded & Installed.Initial Setup may take awhile Just login and let the app run if you try to force any of the options on it intially It will keep crashing once ur Id is recognised you can enable find friends and it will allow you to Migrate all your User data from another device, It even scans your phonebook and suggests friends. Its Freaking Gorgeous I Love the Interface. The Android Version is no match for This. Hats off  to Blackberry ! Now theres another reason for Blackberry Users to ditch their phones.
  • OMG! OMG! i don't care.
  • If you don't care, (like me) don't comment. Let the others have their fun. :-)
  • You took your time to comment so obviously you do.
  • Yeah right ;)
  • I signed for beta but not get email yet.
  • You must be in waiting. I was too but somehow I got the mail.
  • My pin 7cbd2a9b
  • When is this releasing officially??
  • Whenever we all can leave behind wp8gdr3
  • I already download it. It looks gorgeous. Way better design than iOS and Android versions. It is a little buggy, but c'mon is Beta and we all are going to help make it better.
  • Awesomeee
  • +tech king same here downloaded but I see a blank profile with no pin. Should I create a new id ? Or use the one I used for signing beta...??
  • I used my existing BlackBerry ID and it prompted me to switch my account to this device. All my previous contacts came over.
  • It takes too long to load. I will try leaving it running in the background and see how battery life is affected.
  • Ok... So I uninstalled twice and reinstalled... It works now got contacts but saw them once now no more..bug maybe...
  • Guess they need streamline this process? With more words
  • 7d20f5d4 anybody for a test?
  • Got mine, but off to a rocky start...cant seem to log in.
  • Was on the wait list, got the email and am downloading now :)
  • Me too. Awesome isn't it? :p
  • Did u get the mail immediately u signed up for the beta bcos I signed up a long time ago but didn't get any mail from them
  • No, I signed up last week and got the mail last night. I was already a beta zone member though. It is pretty awesome:D
  • I finally got it to setup my PIN. Need more contacts, now. Hit my PIN up @ 7d166d7b. Lets see what this can do.
  • hey how can you access it...
  • Whats the deal with No permission to download. I got the mail but even then couldnt download the app.

  • Looks good. Using the link provided in the email, catch One. Only three contacts suggested, one of the contacts I installed and removed BBM because I could not contact the people with BlackBerrys! I say let the gams begin.   After all the other news.... Looks like there are too many loners around or is it the 24 hour magic? 
  • Installed, looks clean. The live tile isn't as detailed as whatsapp and viber (show messages in tile) but I can forgive that for a first beta. Otherwise ok so far. Friend welcoming me back to bbm. Ha.
  • Better than Kik lol

  • Downloaded but none of my friends are using BBM... so sad...
  • I love it. Gripes here and there but how do I report these? What's the incident ID?
  • I am part of the beta and have it up and running. Working good. Contracts and groups transferred over. pin 7cf26b0d
  • How did you transfer your contacts ...cuz I can't find my old contacts from 3 years ago
  • Using your blackberry ID...
  • Thanks... that was helpful..of course you use your ID ..but where do you find your contacts
  • When i signed in using my existing Blackberry ID, it will asks wether you want to transfer you existing account to the new device or not. That was how i got them. I did before on an iPod, now i transfer to my WP.

  • You guys have to let it setup which means assigning your pin. Don't rush it.
  • 7CFD4041 keep adding me ppl .
  • Wow, some people should never sign up for a beta test. This is a beta version. There will be issues. They already said that this version will not have feature parity yet. We should expect some issues and when we run into them, we should calmly report them to Blackberry so that they can try to fix them before general release. There are features I want to see just as much as everyone else. It is true that BBM is not widely used in the US. Even in beta, this feels better then Skype. I miss MSN messenger everytime I have to use Skype. Something someone told me the first time I participated in a beta test. BETA = Better Expect Trouble Ahead Just some food for thought.
  • Well said
  • Agreed, I do miss how well MSN messenger was built into the initial Windows Phone version.
  • Well said, I'm in the beta for BBM. Already it feels more polished than skype (other than the intermittent crash here and there). The app has more features than skype at this stage, the skype team working on wp should be ashamed lol.
  • Was on waiting list.but still downloaded
  • Nice.. UI is Excellent, Fast Messaging, Fast App Resume, Notification is way Better even in Portico Firmware.. 
  • You're still on portico ? Posted via Windows Phone Central App
  • Yup, still in portico.... HTC windows phone 8s, still no update until now here in Thailand.. it's been almost 2yrs, Just a BIG portico update..
  • Anyone notice they loaded a template into saved pictures folder?
  • I did not get that. Nothing was added to my Saved Images.
  • Guess it only appears only when you allow other people to scan your qr code since it looks like a template to share it in say a email for example
  • 7cd286e7 add me
  • Why it is showing "YOU DONT HAVE PERMISIION TO DONWLOAD  THIS APP"???
  • Have you signed up for beta tester?
  • yeah i did :(
  • Can't Download The App So Disappointing
  • Useless. Too many bugs. No function except Crash Crash Crash..!!! Crash on every tap
  • Whoa, the fast is really affecting you lol. Chill out, that's why its called Beta. They will fix these pre-production issues. But its the last 10 nights of Ramadaan, you should not be wasting your time chatting on your phone :p
  • Don't have permission to download this app
  • Sign up for beta and got 1 mail to confirm email id that's it
    And i can't download this bbm
  • Flop!!!!!
  • Selop!!
  • I signed in a week back, confirmed my BBM ID, bt still not able to download..
  • Me too
  • Same here and I am pissed, I signed up early.
  • I read an article on appy geek... It redirected to wpcentral and there it was written that the guys in waitlist if not getting the app gotta wait fr the complete rollout.. Or wait fr the complete app to be updated.. Don't now wth is goin on.. Pissed
  • Use the link in the email to download it
  • Seems all good so far... Not a single crash.. Nokia Lumia 1020 AT&T PFD... Add me BBM pin 7c9e09aa
  • Guess they allowed other bb users in who had a beta zone account that didnt make the signup list by the looks of it & that is slowing it down
  • Finding it impossible to set up my profile: It keeps crashing on me. Uninstalled and reinstalled, still no way.
  • Had they released beta version even for Android and IOS before?
  • Yes they did on IOS as i remember.
  • i have registered for BBM But still it says u don't have permission to download this app... please suggest me some link for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • That's because you haven't signed up for the beta do you can't download it no matter what Posted via Windows Phone Central App
  • It is saying that u don't have permission to download wat,to do now
  • 7d3fef64 ADD me too Guyzz
  • Seems all good
  • Even though I was in waiting list, I was able to download the application. I m usinig Nokia Lumia 925 using WP8.1 in India. Application is little slow. Needs a lot of updates. starting takes few seconds before it starts. It is clean. No dark background. It crashes a lot. Suggested friends also buggy.
  • Does it have the same features as the IOS and Android versions?
  • Why I need to download this
  • cause you anjing .
  • cause you anj*ng
  • Yaaaay! Got it :D
  • Hate blue tile
  • My BBM pin is 7cf5030a please add me to the wpcentral group.....
  • Install the app today cant get my pin yet
  • Managed to add 2 contacts, BBMed 1, success. Funky Cold Medina, played after success!
  • Not able to download pls help me to download
  • Have you signed up?
    Did you receive email from BBM?
    Does your phone show the same email id you entered during the sign up?
    If everything is correct mostly there is some issue at their end or would have been a typo when you filled the form for windows store id.
  • It crashes
  • Report the bugs you find. That's why you registered for beta testing right?
  • Can't see the point personally.
    Last time I had a BlackBerry it was a company device. Suspect same true for others. Never used BBM once, but integration with Enterprise contact directory was very useful. Could easily look up and email or ring anyone whilst on the go.
    Does Windows Phone support directory integration?
  • Cant download
  • I thought this is not beta apps, doesn't like Instagram beta with lacks of features
  • Received mail this morning n downloaded
    But none of my friends using it
  • There are many who shared their pins add them and start chating
  • So much crash
  • Please how do I sign up for it?!!!!
  • Sign up has closed. You will have to wait for the official release, or maybe they will open it again. Keep checking wpcentral.
  • Yet another Beta app. Over/under on which app stays longer in Beta, this or Facebook.  
  • Facebook has a non-beta version. The Beta version is just for those who want to try new features in advance and don't mind a bug or two.
  • Finally after several hours I got it to log me in. My pin is 7cff3cd0
  • can anyone help i cant download it and cant open the sign up page...help me guys please my lumia

  • Invite my pin 7D222DE4
  • BBM is dead. Too late for Windows Phone and too late to impress Windows Phone users.
  • beta broo,
  • I'm just wondering how the company itself is going to handle all these new users when they finally go bust and shut down for good. This definitely isn't going to keep them alive the way they are bleeding cash and market share right now.
  • 7CB53B2E
  • Anyone who was in the waiting list and still got the app?
  • Welll.. Took some time.. Up and running now on my Lumia 920.. Stable and fast .. :)
  • Its definitely faster then whatsapp
  • Downloaded. Initial loading was too slow. I have no friends in bbm. Sad :-(
  • You need to install the app from the email that you receive from the beta center :)
  • I got an email and link to download. But no permissions to download. I'm sign in using my Microsoft email.
  • 7d26e922
  • This app just freezes for me on 8.1 1520 loads. Some things freeze. I can't add anyone. My pin says 0000000 my barcodes blank
  • Same happened to me, reinstall it, just takes a long time with the circle loading screen during set up
  • same to me.... now try installing again and waiting loading circle
  • Be patient and keep checking every 5mins it will work fine after some time....
  • When I tried to sign up for the beta, was told it was full and would be on a waiting list, read WPcentral this morning, thought id give it a try to download, anyway it downloaded, checked my emails, and there was an invite to the beta. Seems to run smooth, had to uninstall once, due to hanging on setup, when I closed the app and reopened it, I had signed in, but none of the details were filled in. Uninstalled and reinstalled it and it was alot quicker and everything setup alot quicker
  • Downloaded, but I have to re invite my BBM contacts
  • And who knows when will be on the air for those didnt catch the beta?

  • I can't add anyone. When i try to add by PIN. The app closes. My Pin is showing 00000000. but when i try to send a requesr by SMS My pin is 7d8a503f.
  • My messages don't send, any help? Or is this just a problem in the Beta?
  • I like that it transferred my account from my android set up to this phone.
  • I can't change my profile on the app. Major bug issue it shuts down everytime I go to the profile
  • My messages don't go through, any help? Is this the Beta app or my phone? *Lumia 920
  • Can someone share their mail sent by bbm beta to download...let me try...i am in but cant download it.! Plz help me..send it on bharatgounder@live.com
  • I cant log in with the details I have fro. The beta registration. Do I need another account? The app just shows a cant login message
  • Click the sign in button on the bottom.
  • This is pretty much a big "meh" to me personally. I don't know a single person who uses BBM anymore. Not one. Think the last one of my family and friends that had Blackberry ditched it at least two or more years ago.
  • 7ce9438d
  • When will this be available for ppl who haven't joined the beta program ? :(
  • Why can't I download even when I already signed up for the Beta testing? Anyone??
  • Another App thrown late into the windows phone playing field. Why is windows phone the last to always get the good stuff after android and ios got it ages ago? Trust me that even when it does, it is sometimes not optimized enough. Has Microsoft considered that? Maybe its time for them to consider android apps on their new lumias and not be soo quick in killing off the Nokia x project. Can you believe there's No option in sending audio messages on windows phone 8.1 version of WhatsApp? I mean this is crazy. As power user coming from android with rooting, flashing & all that I decided to give windows phone a try because of lean budget then. Looks like a made a wrong mistake. Windows has come a long way with respect to the Windows phone 8.1 Dp am running on my Lumia 520 but the truth is the truth.
  • Hahaha.. When I saw the article, I tried to download it... And it downloaded.. OMG.. I was shocked and opened my hotmail.. There was a mail today morning inviting me to bbm beta.. I was on waitlist though.. Did not expect it..

  • Lol bbm voice not even available on their own devices Posted via Windows Phone Central App

  • Lolo they worked hard on app screen shots.
  • Can't download on my Lumia 520.
  • My two coworkers are diehard bb fans. They pride themselves on only using .16gb of data between the two of them per month. I laughed and said I use that much in a day. I pay for my own plan with my L1520 so that my coworker can't hold that over me. Works out well. We had Nextel blackberrys back in the day and used the push to talk thing mostly. They and or I have Never used hbm. No need for me. We email, txt and call one another now that those features are all unlimited here in the states.
  • I was in the waiting list yet I'm able to use it.
  • I'm download first and email from Blackberry come later!
  • Downloaded it and I love it. Missing two features which I hope it will come later. The select all option when making a BC and the channels. The toast notification is good one notification to all not like Whatsapp every message has a notification
  • Working okay with the minimal features so far.
  • You can add me 7cb1b8bc
  • Did anyone have success with Channel's? Does the beta have that feature? We're you able to join or create any? Ps. Is there a forum?

  • Add me guys

    Pin: 7d0b4a29
  • Many days I'm wondering what is this app good for? There're so many communicators - why should I use BBM? There is no one of my friends (and I understand them). Facebook account has everybody. It's like use Windows Messanger (when exists) on Android or iOS. Every platform has its own communicator and that's logical, but why should I use BlackBerry app instead of some multi-platform app?
  • The app keeps crashing and it's way too slow. More of an alpha release than beta.
  • Allright, I need somebody to test it: 7c9e7f25 Is it just me or the app just doesn't find my contacts using it?
