After being available only to invitees earlier this month as a
private beta, BlackBerry has now made the BBM beta available to all
Windows Phone users. It is part of a grand plan by BlackBerry CEO John
Chen to increase the value of the messaging app, by opening it up to
Android, iOS and now Windows Phone users. BlackBerry has made BBM
visually appealing to those using Microsoft's mobile OS, by using the
same UI for the app.
According to BlackBerry, BBM beta for Windows Phone allows you to
chat with friends on Android, iOS, Windows Phone and BlackBerry. You
will know when you message has been delivered (D) and read (R). You can
share photos, voice notes, BBM contacts and even share your location.
BBM will also allow Windows Phone users to know when one of their
contacts is responding to a message they sent. And of course, there are
plenty of emoticons to use to display your feelings.
A number of new features will be coming in the next version of the
app, including BBM Voice, Channels and Location Sharing with Glympse. If
you're a Windows Phone user, you can head to the Windows Phone Store
now and become a BBM member.
