    I hope Americans will stop saying 'coming this summer' or 'this fall' when referring to release dates of products or movies. When exactly is summer? One country's summer starts at a date that's different from another . Heck, we don't even have winter or fall in our part of the world.

    (I know BlackBerry is Canadian).

      I use BBM all the time. It is far better than mobile phone number based system such as whatsapp and viper and can be used on wifi unlike some others. Even the wifi voice calls BBM to BBM works fine if the speed is fast enough. Frankly, now that Z10 now has skype, I dont see any reason for wanting to change to another os. Very happy with my Z10 even if it did take a little time to get used to. This is where mobiles are going. I just hope that BBM remains relatively secure if available for iOS and Android, and that the system scans out any spyware, particularly from Android devices.

          I'm only using BB for BBM. If this happens, I'll buy an iPhone. BB loses its virginity.

                        Hmmm im glad to see RIM decision to make BBM a 3rd party app to Ios and Android, I myself comming from a black berry pbone myself to android really miss my friends from bbm... not sure if this a move just to keep black berry relevant at all and to keep their foot in the door but I always wish RIM the best of luck... I use whatsapp now as many people do but Its got nothing on BBM... just my opinion
