From Wiki

BlackBerry Messenger (abbreviated BBM) is a proprietary Instant Messenger application included on newer model BlackBerry devices. It was developed by Research in Motion. Messages sent via Blackberry Messenger are sent over the BlackBerry PIN system; thus, communication is only possible between two BlackBerry devices. Exchanging messages is also possible via dedicated discussion or chat rooms, which allow multiple BlackBerry devices to communicate in a single session. In addition to offering text-based Instant Messages, BlackBerry Messenger allows users to send pictures, a wide selection of emoticons (also known as "smileys") and other files over the Blackberry network. With the release of BlackBerry Messenger 5.0, RIM allows users to use their unique QR Code 2D (matrix) barcode to add each other to their respective friends lists rather than using only numeric PIN identification.

I'm going for the 3rd option as I know jack about such things and find even the above rather challenging to decipher!

I'm gonna go for that too... but don't actually have a clue... even though I've been lucky enough to win one of these from this comp! Big massive thank you, grannybiker!

However being a wee bit of a technophobe and only being used to a cheap old (was the cheapest one I could get 4-5 years ago) mobile, I'm still terrified of messing it up. lol!

The phone is absolutely awesome, I fell a wee bit in love with it the second I opened the parcel. I've now gotten the hang of sending messages (so much quicker with the keypad), and have even dared to venture on the web with it (something my old one couldn't do). The pictures taken with is is fabulous. But I still haven't dared to set it up with e-mail/try BBM... I'm sure I'll get there, just give me a few more weeks.

Week 9 Question: What are the available options for your status in BBM?

a) You can only use a pre-set status message

b) There's an option for a pre-set as well as customised status
messages

c) You can't have a status message in BBM

Not sure of the answer but I think it's more than likely b!!

Windows Live Messenger Features:

Found it here : http://uk.blackberry.com/services/internet/im/im_wlm.jsp


Windows Live™ Messenger for BlackBerry® smartphones allows you to chat in virtual real time with your instant messaging (IM) contacts when and where you want to – not just when you’re in front of your computer.


It has many of the same features you already use with Windows Live Messenger on your desktop, including1:

• Fast and reliable messaging
• Virtual real-time awareness of which of your contacts are online and ready to chat
• The ability to customize your own status messages (e.g. ‘Back in 5 mins')
• Access to your existing Windows Live Messenger Contact List and the ability to add, delete and block contacts
• Emoticons to express yourself
• Auto-login so you’re always connected
• The ability to participate in several chats at once and to initiate and participate in multi-user chats

No offence tna4ever, but haven't you already won this comp?

The answer is a) No, the PIN is unique to your BlackBerry smartphone.
