It's too much work to keep track of what phones your friends have. I have 200+ people on my contact list, and I think maybe only 4-5 of them don't use smartphones. It may take off if Apple makes their messenger available for all systems, an

I really feel the battle is being fought on the wrong field. While it's great and nice to have more release dates and new features as an assortment of letters and numbers that the majority of the population has never heard of, past the init
