Last I check this app looked cool but that's about it... No blackberry, yet... No group chat, yet.
Stick to what app, or for a better group chat experience check out beluga messenger. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Looks like Blackberry version came out a few days ago... Still no group chat tho.
@TL604, have you tried Whatsapp, Kik, Ping or Beluga? In your opinion how does live profile compare?
There's too many of these messengers right now. Whatsapp is the best overall but the group chat sucks and the app isnt free. Kik is getting trapping good but lacks proper media capabilities. Pingchat is ad riden and is sloooowww. Beluga is the best for group chat, currently lacks video, great interface but a bit diff from the rest, also was recently bought by Facebook so Im not sure if it will stay for the long run.

There are definitely some server issues with Whatsapp.
That being said, it provides groupchat functionality, a feature that LiveProfile is currently lacking.
Until it is added, I will stick with whatsapp.

The reasons BBM is popular are: ready to go right out of the box, no signup to anything required. Message delivery and read receipts ( probably most important lol ). Good integration with your BlackBerry phone. BBM groups.
All these messaging apps are for dumb people who have no clue. If you want a real messaging app, buy Beejive. It's available for iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry.

It's available for iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry. | I have a blackberry but with liveprofile its the same deal. No signup to anything, just download it. Message delivery and read receipts, status updates, profile pics. It is basically identical to bbm.

Their phones in my opinion, are horrible. Cheap materials, buggy OS, constant slow-downs, occasional restarts, web browser refuses to work... The list goes on!
With more variety as WELL as compatability between all 3 os's, RIM will get left in the dust. I mean their best screen res. is 480x360 FFS!

after seeing everyone on my facebook posting "add my liveprofile: pin ********.....i caved and installed it on my BB....gotta admit...i find it quite useless...i have bbm...to my friends who dont have bbm....i can just text them or actually dial there numbers and talk to them and not have to wait on a "did he read it yet?!....he did!!! and he didnt reply!!!! that asshole!!!!"
oh well though...this is just another one of those apps for people who have iphones who want to feel special and cool like the people who have BBM...
