12hrs later and i’m still awaiting my pin lol
and how many will use it after they try it out, and live with the outdated interface. So disappointed with this
OMG. It’s simply horrible. Try to send your contacts your PIN? The contact list isn’t even in alpha order. When you search your contacts manually by entering a name it will allow you to select it, but you can’t do anything else. I tried this with my SMS contacts. App is a joke…and Apple approved this app?!
BBM is now broke since ios 7.0.3 update……crashes and has to be reinstalled when a pic is send or received.
So what if they have 10 million downloads. How does this make Blackberry any money? How does this ‘save’ Blackberry?
It doesn’t. The botched launch just makes them look bad. Just BlackBerry being BlackBerry!
just bypassed the email wait earlier today by force closing the app, (it’s taken a few attempts) . i can see a lot of potential as a communication/messaging system in particular for setting up groups and to handle tasks, events/meetings and more info, data and docs sharing/exchanging. what was the BB statement about the messages encryption ? take care, marc
