BBPIN is just like blackberry instant messenger, so yeah free messaging with other blackberry users. I think in the latest update they've added this gimmicky barcode thing whereby you take a picture of someones BB barcode and it adds them as a friend, rather than typing in their BB pin. Pointless though imo.

Called crackberrys aren't they, because of the compulsive email/facebook checking that you can do (because its there), if you have one.. I'd love one for those reasons though =D.

Agreed with J222JRA BB Pin is a very hand tool if you have many friends or work relations with it too.
I am constantly tapping away on mine sending files some work some personal.
I have both an iphone and bb, i like my bb but prefer the iphone for apps. But still wouldnt give up my blackberry for a long time
I get 1400 mins, ulimited texts, free net (bb bundle) for £30 a month. Happy days. Hope you enjoy it pal.
Maybe when enough people have one, someone can create a saxp group on the messenger, with any deals, sneeky finds and general chitter chatter

Was referring to the barcode thingy! Not the messenger, that's good.

What contract is that on?
Instant messenger is a cool feature on BB but iPhone also had a free ping facility
What made you choose that over an iPhone?

what is ping?
im on Vodaphoneeee
the iphone, i had a samgsung tocco, and wasnt THAT impressed with the touchscreen tech going on!
but i only wanted the iphone for apps... not for a phone! buy the time i played ith both and got down to treating it like a phone rather than a toy, the BB was much more superior imo!

A Ping is simply a tone sent to a persons BB to give them a nudge lol Like on MSN.
You can set how the phone pings......tone, tone + Vibrate or silent.

One thing that does annoy me about my bb is that when i recieve a call it will vibrate then ring.... why not just have it do this at the same time???
I found an app that does it but still i shouldnt have to spend £5 just for a normal function!
Am i tight or what haha
