The private beta app for BBM on Windows Phone may be here but you can't have it yet

BlackBerry may be the struggling for relevancy in 2014, but they still have a couple of valuable properties, including their BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) service, which is now on iOS and Android. Earlier this year, BlackBerry announced that a version for Windows Phone was also on the way, and July was last reported as the due date.

With that introduction, it should not be surprising to find the private beta of the app hiding out on the Store under the BlackBerry Limited publishing name. However, like all good things, you cannot download it yet. Private beta means you have to be on the tester list, and that involves using your Microsoft Account ID. As a result, you can look at the app on the Store, but you can not download.

BBM for Windows Phone can bring more parity between iOS and Android when released. As to how the app looks, we still don't know. Windows Phone Central reported earlier that Modern UI elements would be present, while preserving the familiar BBM design:

"…BBM going forward will strive to maintain a healthy balance between BBM maintaining its own identity while still honoring the best practices of platform's guidelines. In other words, BBM users moving between platforms should recognize and know how to use BBM in an instance, while at the same time the app should still look and feel like the best native apps on the platform. For Windows Phone, expect BBM to feature its own live tile and panoramas."

The release of BBM for Windows Phone is most likely just days, if not weeks away. Windows Phone Central is attempting to verify that this is this real BBM app, even if a private beta.

See BBM for Windows Phone 8 on the Store

Update: We have confirmed that this is the official BBM app from BlackBerry. The app is not coming out tonight, but BlackBerry will be extending the beta to some users in the near future. BlackBerry will announce details about that beta soon.

Need it badly ... Then I will not need whatscrap
Whatscrap, LOL!
Lol
Another theme for idiots.
Of all the tech people I know literally zero of them use "WhatsCrap" i was shocked that FB paid what they did.
Here in India, everyone uses WhatsApp. It is not crap, it's a way of life
Well in also from India .. Majority of my friends use bbm .. So you can't say that ..
Fight fight fight!
LOL
I need BBM. I don't whatscrap
In Indonesia also majority is using BBM and WhatsApp. I can said most of peoples is using WA to chat with Blackberry owner since Blackberry previously market leader here. and BBM at that time only exclusive in BB. furthermore Line version for BB is bad and drained batery so fast at that time WA is the only option to connect with BB owner. I think now everyone starting to move into Line or Kakaotalk. I think because of free 1 year WA already expired for some people and Line nor Kakaotalk have a huge advertisement and promotion here..
Oh really bade log badi baat..
Well, my friend's cusin's buddy saw a man play an American Indian on TV once, and he uses neither...just SMS.
"Everyone"....yeah, no.
I am from India ... and I hate to use it.. i am using it because some of my friends forced me to use that :P, And for "the way of life" part never try to generalies your own beliefs for rest of the population.
for one it's not crap and no offsense this time but i'm assuming you're american(or maybe canadian) you guys seem to mostly have cheap texting and i rarely hear about you guys with whatsapp i was shocked when i went to canada for school and found nobody who's from canada who uses it and when i visted my cousins school in america didn't find anybody there who used it either but i know from internaitonal studens that it's just as popular to them as for where i'm from
I'm from India ..
Don't you bring Canada into this. Blackberry is Canadian.
Not since they've used foreign factories for repair/manufacturing
All repairs for devices sold in Canada are done in Canada.
Americans have cheap texting? That's laughable, here in Ireland for €10 a month off contract I get unlimited texts along with 1GB of data and 300 call minutes.
Your last name is Wiener!!?? Bwahahahahahaha!!
That's a German name. So? Stop showing your ignorance.
They paid for the access to all the young people that use it.
The thing is, most of the people I knew who seemed to only ever use BBM, have now mostly migrated to iMessage or to a, surprisingly, lesser extent Whatsapp. I feel once it's released, most headlines will say, "breaking, Frozen T-Rex released on Lab-Grown T-Rex". Either way, a welcome app I'll be downloading.
iMessage? That should just vanish.
Well it's been out for a while for iOS and Android, so some people must already know how that's affected usage of WhatsApp and iMessage. We're sadly just 4% as WP users so won't make much difference to the overall picture. I have never used BBM but would like to see BB become important again, they were pioneers and deserve some credit for messaging over upstarts like WhatsApp and others who are copying what has come before. That said, would be nicer if Skype had a better and lighter client and everyone used that for messaging, another MS mess up there when they killed Messenger.
im pretty sure imessage is only on apple? or did i miss somthing
Nope, you're quite right it is iOS only. But that's the thing you see: Despite things like kik, ping and Whatsapp, people were still buying BBs because, well, you couldn't get on to BBM without it. Similarly here, some who could go either way, buy an iPhone so as to not be left out of their circles, believe it or not. Plus, you now have access to the supplimental servies (kik etc) and an exclusive one, on a device that's considered premium with the first go-to market place. So it is a (huge) selling point for many.
I agree. If Skype was a good bit lighter and less power hungry and deeply integrated with the OS (even a little deeper than in 8.1), then yea, I'd see it being worthwhile as competition. It's not an all inclusive messaging platform a-la iMessage, it's a really good messaging platform that's considered just an app barely many use. Muchless in 4% of the market (granted, saying 4% is better than 3% we were saying last year). If we had a sizable dent in the market... I strongly feel it's a mixture of noise and the low end market as to why there are even (some, half assed) official apps making releases these days.
If Blackberry had been switched on and released BBM for every platform a few years ago then iMessage would not have taken off and it would be easier to move back to a Blackberry from an iPhone. But people get entrenched in a set of friends who live through iMessage...
Well at least this is faster than flipboard
"Sorry you don't have permission to download this app".. This is what it tells me..
Did you read the article or the title atleast? lol
lol, you're maybe one of the fandroids who reads the first word of the title then go straight to comment.
I like it.
BBM is more or less outdated in my opinion.
I assume so but then again I've never used it to see how many friends actively use it. It is on iOS & Android, but last time I asked they also all used Whatsapp.
In my case... Almost all people I know has BBM... It became the main communication method in my family after normal call and text messaging... So, I do need it..
Its a matter of having as much as official apps as possible on the platform.
I'm one of those few who still using BBM, I'm using my dads iphone for that sometimes.
If BBM is less battery thirsty, then I'll work on switching peeps to it. I think WhatsApp is a main source of my battery woes.
Totally agree...Whatsapp its a battery hog!
I don't find it too big a drain. I wonder how many people on iOS have moved from WhatsApp to BBM? Interesting to see big companies like MS and BB as former market leaders going from being exclusive to having to be more service based and have their products on all platforms whereas Apple and Google have things more exclusive (though Google has had to put most of their services on iOS).
+1525
How is having more features than the competiton outdated? You either don't know the definition of the word or you've never used BBM on iOS, Android, or BB10.
Good one
Trust me.. It's not outdated. I like it more than WhatsApp cause BBM has more features and security.... and best of all it's ad free (unlike Line or Wechat). People often disses BBm due to the falling market share of Blackberry. But BBm-the app, is probably one of the best IMs out there.
I would like a beta invite. Where do I sign?
You don't.
That's just not right.
:-(
Hello Daniel. I can download
I love you daniel. .lol kidding
*Jack Bauer voice* Make it happen, Rubino.
Dan Rubino sleeps with sunglasses on and puts on another pair when he wakes up
Hahahaha
But "install" button appearing on the screen. That means I could download it, right?
Nope, tried it, it just returns Sorry, you do not have permission to download the app after showing Downloading... in the middle of the screen for a few seconds.
You can sign on a cheque for wpcentral
Chances are its the same way they did it with ios/android thru bb beta zone
I just signed in with my old beta zone account - but I couldn't see it anywhere
I heard its gonna be in store on 15 july
Oh really? Reliable source?
Shhhhh! the words "reliable" and "source" are like WPCentral's Voldermort words...
Lol... "you know who". What should we call it then?
Show us "you know who" about this rumor!
Voldemort Rubino.....
You said it! Now he'll find you and hunt you down!
Not if he is wearing the invisibility cloak :D
Aaahhh! Now!! Expecto Binorepel patronum!!!!!
But I have all "The Deathly Hallows" :P
Well. Daniel has seven horcruxes
Daniel riddle?
No doubt Daniel is so sassy.. ‼
LOL
HAHAHA +T-1000
Seems like just yesterday when everyone I mean everyone I knew had a Blackberry... Poor chaps
And us poor Windows people were stuck with shoddy Windows Mobile 6.1. lol!!!! Of course people used Blackberry or Palm...... pre-iPhone.
I have little hopes for WP8's futrue sadly :( all these Android Lumia rumors coupled with all the complacency among my fellow WP users.
You're not one of the optimistic ones are you.
He's just calling what he sees. We shouldn't be a pacified community...keep voicing concerns. It helps the cause (though it can be depressing for fans, too)
Good thing is... Lots of my friends who's an old used of Nokia still change to Lumia as their first Smart Phone... Just shows how user's loyalty matters. Microsoft just need to do more catch up so it won't make the users feel left out.
In terms of what? I'm assuming apps.
Can't save contacts on sim card, Skype is hopeless, "running out of memory on line 1", usb tethering, auto update time & date, the xbox music, video and the list goes on! Need to poke the phone to see missed communication? Btw interested in Nokia. Would check if the x family is more capable!
Auto update of Time and Date already in WP 8
I suppose saving contacts on SIM is still essential for some, but when you have the ability to back your contacts up to your email, it's quickly becoming outdated, IMO. When I use to save or back up contacts to SIM, I still had to go and add other information that didn't get saved. As for Skype, I haven't used it enough to have the memory problem. The date and time on WP has always been able to update automatically. The notification center takes care of the missed communications, assuming you have 8.1. The official release, along with the Cyan update will bring features not included in the Dev Preview. Xbox video and music is improving. Although, I will admit that the recent update to Xbox video did something funky on my phone. As for music, I suppose there is always room for improvement, but it does what it needs to do. USB tethering would be nice, but most phones have hotspot built in. Now, for the low end phones that do not have hotspot, tethering is important. Although, I'm not sure if that is a WP thing or carrier. I've never tried. But, I believe the official release of the upcoming updates will bring WP in line with Android and iOS.
How can you judge the future of windows phone where you even don't know the spelling of 'Future' @Sir William Wiener
I actually preferred WM 6.x to Blackberry.
What? BBM? What is it? Is it an app? It it good?
BBM let you enjoy the features of black berry service without buying their devices
Sounds familiar
I love when others don't understand the sarcasm!
Well it is hard for some people to derive emotions from text, that is why ending a sarcastic remark with /s or /sarcasm helps :P lol.
Neveeeeeeeerrrr!
Neveeeeeeeeerrrr say Neveeeeeeeeerrrr
You just said it!!!!
Nevereeeeeeeerrr doesn't mean never.
Never means Νεβερ
Nevar
I said until last week I would never download that disgusting app and now I want to try it, I find it distasteful since irs mostly used to look for sex by distasteful people, but I broke up and like jigsaw.. I WANT TO PLAY A GAME.
Lol!!.. What game❔❔
Looking for distasteful people to forget my ex, how lame...
Be careful!! You might actually find a nice one.... My current GF, the one on my profile picture,,, I actually met on POF..... We've been together almost 8 months!!!! I owe it to POF big time!!!
................
Edit... Wrong article... Lol!!!!
ये बहुत जटिल होता जा रहा है!
Honestly who uses BBM? I havent used BBM since 2007 when I had a Blackberry.
In my country (Indonesia) BB is still considered as a great device for communicating with other people... Although now BBM is in Andro and iPh (WP soon), the Z3 Jakarta is selling like hotcakes here because of its low price (despite normal specs)
And there are many 'alayers' using it -.-
Alay -.-
Alay mana? Alay pondok gede? _._
Wkwkwkwkwkw. Kacauuu!
Like it or not, we gotta accept that it's still preferred service for lots of people.
Lol No. Those alyers moved to more "hip" messengers like Line or KakaoTalk.
BBm is still a great app. And it crossed over to other OS too. Even if you don't like BB, you can't deny its usefulness and great features.
Please don't use some 4lay word around here that's emabarsing you know still I love Line better than BBM why? because i can't still get whatever message i missed unlike BBM :v and it's stiker is damn intersting
Well my 18yo daughter refuses to give it up.
Only in Indonesia (maybe). Person can be tell and sell the bussiness with, "pinnya berapa mas?" Dan ini jamak :(
Well why don't people ask "Username lina apa?" or " ada E-mail yang bisa dicontact?" seriously if you talk about bussiness E-mail way better. and nowdays opening e-mail lot of easier than before
Goddamn right!
Hey Dan, you could have used the bbm icon on a windows phone instead of showing it on X(Android).
It's subtle but not so subtle they're prepping us for the surrender
What are you talking about ? The picture shows a Lumia, not X.
I can download the app
sorry. I Just tried to install and nope I dont have permission to install
Did it install?
Is it working...put up a pic as proof
How did you sign for the beta program?
No pic meand nothing!
Lol! Bluffing
Daniel do an article about the Android Lumia. I'm curious what's your take on it.
I don't think it's worth making an article about that, as it's only a rumor, for now anyway
Have you seen WP's US market share it's tanking faster than Myspace and VCRs... Cloud Man Nadella doesnt care and everyone here calls me a dooms day nut for saying the market is in a nose dive when it is.
Stop
It's tanking cos no new device. No Lumia 520 successor or 1020 successor. Shelf life for a phone now is 9months after that if there isn't a newer model, its dead
Wow. Some of yall really do live blog to blog.
it hasn't gone up this quater but most importantly it hasnt gone down, it has remained flat but has added new users in the process. Also btw android also has remained flat with zero growth in the USA.
I have a rumor.
i want THREEMA!
Oh noes! Whatever shall I do!?
The guy on the reddit link said it will be online worldwide in some hours
Yeah Thats Me xD
How sure are you? Where did you get your details from?
From A Windowsphone French Group
I guess the group was wrong afterall
I don't care about BBM anymore, WhatsApp and Facebook messenger are enough for all purposes.
Don't underestimate my power of suggestion :-) But generally I do agree with you.
I don't I hate FB messenger
I used BBM on blackberry 10 device and I like BBM a lot. Looking forward to this one! I hope they don't screw up like Viber on Windows phone...
Viber on Windows Phone is the worst app ever!!
Haha
May be u forgot SKYPE ... ! The standard of Worst app.
Please do release it fast.
BB has all my respect (apple and google don't)
It's needed on the platform just like all the other applications.
This is creep one... :-)
Can't we just download the XAP and deploy it manually? There should be a way to push it manually if we can get the file from the store.
You cant deploy marketplace xap as its locked.... The only way of piracy in Windows Phone is deploying a CRACKED XAP And deployment of cracked xap isn't recommend
Even then there might be a whitelist against the BBID.
I want it now! Well at least we know its definitely coming :-)
HooHooo! I thought it was downloading for a second there! Not that I really care for the app, it's the fact that I'm not allowed it, but I know it's there, and also, I LOVE OFFICIAL STUFF ON WP!!!
Just. Cant. Waite.
Finally
No rush. When its dropped, people will grab it. Besides, why grab an app when its not yet ready for prime time? I still don't know what the hype about a messaging app from Blackberry is. But when it drops, I'll evaluate from the review and comments if its anything but hype.
They invented instant messaging!
Who? Blackberry invented instant mesenging? I take it you've never heard of ICQ and AOL?
ICQ ICQ ICQ
I was a frequent ICQ and Yahoo Messenger back in the days, but I'd consider BBM as the real first instant messenger. ICQ and YM needed u to be signed in and when you were.. It drained your battery like crazy. We often signed out those IMs after using them. As for BBM, you only needed BIS (now u don't even need BIS), sign in only once and you're good to go. Messages also more instaneous with BBM than those two.
Does anyone know if it sends over IP like Apples iMessage service does? Or does it just use sms/mms? If it does indeed send over IP then the hype is real and something that will challenge iMessage as a cross-platform alternative.
Yes, it requires data to send messages, so yes, it sends over IP. iMessage isn't cross-platform, only iOS. BBM has many other features in addition to instant messaging, including BBM channels, BBM groups, voice and video chat.
Does anyone know anything about 'fring' it was a hit in Symbian Nokia phones, group video call, text, voice and VoIP
With all the apps available for chatting, I doubt that fring can hold its ground.
I have used it for years, to bad is not on Windows phone
Almost positive it was released on WP7, but by that time I had no use for it. Not sure what happened to it.
Can't
It's happening! :D
Great, now we just need a Gopher client and a UUCP implementation and the museum will be complete!
Orkut has officially ended its service, and BBM is alive?
No one but you even knows what Orkut is anyways lol
It's an social network which was popular in India and Brazil. Facebook overtook it in 2008 i guess in terms of users in india. But it was very popular during its peak.
People don't really catch sarcasm nowadays. -.-
I understand that all users will be able to access it as of midnight tonight...I hope...I really hope. Windows phone is gaining ground in my book . Different manufacturers have certain niches...Apple has IOS (which is crock btw), Sony has their waterproof phones and solid camera, Samsung has crapload of features, LG has OIS and small bezels and Nokia has the best camera on the market...full stop. As long as microsoft continues to maintain an edge with their camera they will always be around.
Midnight? What's the source of that info.. And what timezone ?
Nokia Was first with OIS. So I'd give them the credit for that.
Midnight in which time zone???
When i searched the store for BBM it dont come up! I know u cant DL it just wanting to check it out lol
I see it, but I don't have permission to install this app...sadly...
And same here
WhatsApp is still the boss for me, BBM came n went on my Droid...but..it might have space for use on my WP8.1 lol
I think it is the geniune BBM app since the Blackberry Limited publisher name is the same on Andoid and iOS stores. I tried to download and install the app onto my Nokia Lumia 1020 and it says i don't have the required permission to download the app, which is a shame.
Maybe we should wait about a week or more.just like Path before
I really want to care about this because I kind of like BB, but there's little reason for me to try it. I don't event know anyone that uses this and I'm already seen as the contrarian for using Windows Phone.
No tengo permisos para descargar.
I have the xap but that probably wont work ..havent tried to deploy yet
How to crack BBM.xap ?,
Modify the CAPS.... I did it, it worked.
How you did it ??? Can you please tell us ???
I have no idea ..i got it from the wp store opened in IE
One thing I miss about BB... If you never used bbm you wont understand (and whatapp doesn't compare)
Checking the store for the past two days for this app...
Dont hope too much for the Beta
Skype update to 5.2 for ishare. Nothing for WP8..? If BBM is a hassle to use, as on android then it might be not worth the effort . Surrendered the invitation process.
The BBM.XAP wont install either it might open up later for us as the description did not say Pricate beta could be the place holder for later idk
For those who havent used BBM in their life. This is why its better than overrated whatsapp . Especially in group feature. [url=http://postimg.org/image/qfwy4n6mt/][img]http://s18.postimg.org/qfwy4n6m...
You fail at posting unless you're saying BBM is like not having messaging. 404 Not Found.
We should encourage BB to give as much support to WP as possible. WP is the only other platform designed for the enterprise and this can only help WP to compete with the other two.
I'm guessing and estimating that the time this app come out, so many complains will be said because of the poor performance and features yet
Its also not a part of blackberry zone.... Which is where most blackberry betas start
BBM Beta's don't begin in BlackBerry Beta Zone. When I was a member of the private BBM Beta on Android, I was nominated by a BlackBerry employee; it'll be the same on WP.
its a beta but MS does betas differently. crackberry said its offical and we should look out for a post on blackberry blog to see hot to join the beta soon. so idk
Would be awesome if this could also be a Windows app
BlackBerry are working on a desktop client, couple that with Universal Apps and soon you'll have your wish.
This will allow me to uninstall kik messenger! I need a messaging app which doesn't require a phone number so I can communicate with my kids over Wi-Fi. Skype is close but doesn't allow photo sending and receiving on Windows Phone. Can't wait for this!
I heard the Kik team was originally an 'offshoot group' of BBM makers.
Doesn't matter anymore because now we get the real deal :D
Trying to Deploy The App Via App Deployment tool No Good it says xap is invalid lol
Store encryption is a bitch ;)
Unzip the xap file.
Modify Manifest file.
Deploy ez.
Bad icon, you need more 2D
Honestly, if Microsoft improved Skype, this would be moot. BBM, WhatsApp, iMessage, etc. are all competition to Skype and if Skype was a better service, windows phone could care less about all the other services. We'd have a messaging service that we could call our own. This isn't to say that Microsoft isn't working their butt off improving Skype, its just not where it should be yet.
It is taking far too long.
When it comes to messaging apps, there can be only one... BBM ;)
MS is working their butt off improving Skype: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/07/07/skype-5-2-for-iphone-voice-messaging-support-and-profiles-are-back/ They start to improve WP platforms Skype at the same time when Adidas starts to make jumping ropes for armless.
Although it can be buggy on WP8.1, Telegram messenger ftw :)
You guys are going to dig Bbm channels. It's a lot of fun. I made my channel in January and have over 6000 subscribers and 350000 visits :)
Good for you. Seems excessive for grown folk with jobs, families etc but for kids with no responsiblity and tons of free time, sounds the bees knees.
Can't wait, kinda freaked out when I saw install, then clicked it only to see that am not allowed to install this, but at least something to keep us going
Like the smileys on BBM way better than whatscrap \m/
How to enter private beta???
I don't have permission to download this app?!
Very well, then, you don't have permission to be on my phone.
K, was just kidding, waiting for you, get well soon, loose that betaculosis.
I can download that
I am very surprised this app is still relevant with all the other texting/messaging apps out their. Myself I mostly just text or use facebook messenger (I know, I know but everyone has fb). I am curious and will probably download it when it gets released though.
BBM. Please make it public asap! Dnt do d same was 8.1 is doing to us
It showed install thn says u cant install it ?
Maybe you should actually read before commenting?
How to enter private beta list
I got the download option !! :O
But i cnt install it :(
More apps! Cool
Why don't these people ^^^ read the article properly ???
Just sent a email to BlackBerry thru my beta zone account asking if they need any volunteers I'm willing. And yes I use BBM.
We have read the article don't try to be smart..we were just asking author if there is a way to enter chat beta
You don't think they would have told us if there was a way?
BBM is highly used by 12 year olds .............and consists of sharing statuses.....group conversation that lead to bitching ....flirting outrageous with and one that has a bb pin....my last thought it....i don't want to use a app that my daughter uses every minute in her waking day
So you don't use a solid messaging platform because kids use it? I hope you don't text, I know 5 years that do.
That's a fine concern. But the kids will find ways to communicate anyhow. You just cannot control everything. Social media, dating sites, messengers.. There are tonnes of them. And then there are friends who will let your child use their phones and all. How much can one know?
why can't we have it? they should provide it asap
Don't worry Crackberry want be around much longer so this app will soon be useless.☺
Seems faster
It's not been released yet ._.
Can you tell us the email id where you sent the beta request @kg4icg
Ashwani597? (uc forum) ?
What's this bro
Lol whatscrap
But even this messenger app won't support attachment of audio and saving an incoming audio to ur local folder. Along with this if bbm appears to be fluid and smooth, then only we can consider this. What say?
Just waiting for BBM release...... Amazing secured premium messenger
I'm content with viber and what's app never liked bbm chavberry bollocks if you don't know what a chav is bing it
Meh.
WhatsApp is the only reason to start falls BlackBerry mobile sale haha.....and now people said Whatscrap
Yay!!!!!
Saw a news ,andro lumia Lmao
so wts nxt ios lumia -_-
Why don't Microsoft present Skype as a messenger? It'll be awesome with free calls, if people start using it.
Anyways is there any way to chat with Facebook friends using Skype on our phones? Just like the desktop version?
No, you can link your Facebook to Skype to see who else has Skype. But you can't use it to message someone that doesn't have Skype installed.
I tried downloading but it says "can't download"
I have done a manual download. Copied this over to my L920 and from the store hit ... and choose install local apps. The BBM does appear, but upon the actual installation it verifies the store and therefore get the error messages "you don't have permission".
Hello BBM!
I hope they'll get a Metro tile and not use the one in the closed beta now.
The hype for BBM is over ..... Its not needed as far as usability is concerned but just to bridge the app gap it is essential.
What's BBM? ;)
BauBauMicio
Blackberry messenger.. But I like baubau too
Lol bbm is useful here in indonesia
Most of us use bbm
Just found a download cheat code for the app. Hit the install button, like a hundred times, and, ping ! You get into the action !
You lied!
Come on ! I didn't expect you or anyone to believe that. I was just cracking a silly joke.
Come on guys dont fight about application.BBM its coming soon in store.some people love this apps and some people hate this apps.
Huh.. I think the beta went public.. Because I can install it..
Screenshot or it didn't happen lol :P.
Of course you can.......Wake up! Stop dreaming and read the article properly
I'M SSSOORRRYYYY. I didn't read the updated article. hahah Don't kill me
Well well, wonder when it will be released. As will be the first ones to download it to show the naysayers who still believe Blackberry is relevant and is the third mobile ecosystem.
First lets see how's BBM works then decide its WhatsApp or whatscrap
In Italy no one uses BBM, everyone has the Mighty Whatsapp.
It's a tool of communication, not a way of life
I still feel sad for people who go LOL OMG the entire day
If they launch this as a beta I predict this will be Instagram all over again. No one takes WP seriously.
Whatsapp for windows phone is very buggy and very slow. Esp resumes dont work properly.
ANother thing about BBM, If you are not part of the beta when you enter your crendentials, it will not work, so if you got it somehow, it would just be a waste of time.
Is there a way to register for testing the beta?
Read the article properly there's answer to your question
Hey how to post a pic in comments i gt a pic of bbm for wp!!! Tell me fast
link it
i gt it on whatsapp from a dev. frnd so its in my gallery...how do i link it?
Upload it to 4shared for example then share the link
I can download it
....... I'm speechless
R u serious?
anyone try to donwload it through website, "Install from SD card" option?
Yes. I've tried that and it says the same. Can't install, U don't have permissions.
BBM is only famous in Indonesia. Indonesian dying of BBM. #Sarcastics
people still use bbm?
I am Indonesian :)
Haha, Indonesian really wanted it
The privacy statement says WP7, is it spouse to?
What's the point of putting it up on the app store when people can't have it! They should send the private beta software in private emails to their private testers!
Hey so when we can download dis app?/
N we Indians too use bbm..
Ok wait because everything come last in windows phone.....don't know why
Haha lol true....@yaganesh
stil 8.1 is not released..

Hey whats going on
Kulit manggis ada ekstraknya !!!
Too late, no one in their right mind would buy a Blackberry now
Haha not blackberry but ofcourse a Samsung better to play games der
External Beta is scheduled for sometime next week, so not too much longer.
Any source for this?
I grew up and still live close to the BB offices, so I have quite a few friends/family members that work there. One of those people is in management and his team works quite closely with the BBM team. I asked him to add me to the Private Beta, but when he was looking into it, he said that the 'External Beta opens next week' and it would be best if I waited for that. EDIT: How the External Beta is rolled out is beyond me, but he is going to let me know when things progress.
And that was today, right? Any news we will be able to download as it was told to us.
Not sure, I have been trying to find out, but sorry, no news. Im assuming the bb beta zone will send us an email to let us know when its available.
