  It is weird how a business phone caught on just because of BBM.

    Text Messages / SMS cost a LOT outside of the US. With very few offering decent text packages. Everyone I met in Mexico City used Whatsapp. I suspect BBM caught on in England for the same reason.

  The London riots? Of 2011? They should have release BBM for iPhone and Android 2 years ago.

    Extrapolote that thought; it's only now that those kids (who grew up with BBM) are in charge of their own financial destinty. They might be used to having BBM in their lives and if they can get it on a new "cool" phone then that will make it popular. (To an extent.)

  That was two years ago, is that still the case?
