BBM 6 is Here and Wants to Chat

It's hard not to notice Blackberry's dominance in SA. So what’s the hype? BBM of course. Haven’t you noticed how your friends will only chat if it's free? The platform has 45 million users, 70% of whom use it daily.

Blackberry Messenger 6 adds a new social app layer to the messaging platform, with even more features to use within the app itself. While playing a game users can invite their BBM friends to join and continue to chat in real-time as well as making use of Foursquare, The Huffington Post, Wikitude, Scoremobile and Poynt to name a few of the tie-ins.

Expect the look and feel to get a slick new upgrade, and more emoticons than your emotions can handle. It will only be a matter of time before all Blackberry subscribers jump on the Download button.

BBM remains the crown jewel of the BlackBerry experience, despite the various other pretenders to the thrown and the gossip about other OS systems building their own native imitations. For now, BBM is in a class of its own.
