BBM-Starting Point In BlackBerry's Path To Glory?
Blackberry has been in hot waters recently. The once leader in the smartphone industry, has had a spiraling journey downward, ever since the release of the iPhone. Since then, BlackBerry has made several attempts to enter back into the game which has been evident with the launch of the BlackBerry Z10, Q10 and the phablet Z30 (review coming soon).
However, BlackBerry has realized that (a little late) that the software in a device is given much more value than the internals which run the device. As a result BlackBerry has recently released one of its priced apps, the BlackBerry Messenger in both iTunes Store and Google's Play Store. And the app has also reportedly been downloaded 10 million times in both stores in 24 hours.
The app is pretty neatly designed. The blue, black and blue color scheme reminds us of BlackBerry's OS 10.
It carries more than just colors from BlackBerry OS since it includes much of its swipe based functions.
For example, if you to the right you can access your contacts, chats, updates etc.
You can swipe from within the chat to return to your previous screen.
Adding people using unique QR codes is not only intuitive way to add people on BBM but is also hassle-free.
As always the Emoji collection on BBM has always been vast and remains unchanged even in iOS and Android.
Some users have complained about waiting for long duration's for their BBM pin.
All in all we think that this is an excellent path chosen by BlackBerry to get back in the game and it also seems that it is working for them.
