At Last! - BBM for Windows Phone is Out

At last, BBM for windows phone is finally out

After a short run in private beta, I’m happy to announce that BBM for Windows Phone is being publicly released to the Windows Phone store in beta starting today.


BBM story has been coverd for a while for a while on the Inside BlackBerry blog, so in case you missed all the features included in BBM for Windows Phone… swing by the original blog post for all the details.
Earlier this week, I sat down with Jeff Gadway to chat about what makes the BBM experience on Windows Phone unique and provide a micro-tutorial for getting setup and how to use the app. Watch it below:

In Nigeria, we have so much looked down on windows phone because of its previous inability to 'ping'. So what now? Techno was being exaggerated because they could ping unlike 'a whole' Nokia. Nokia is devoted to seeing the best in the future, you might not see windows phone as a reasonable or valuable phone notwithstanding the prices, but believe me when I tell you that it is in the frontrunner.

Later I will write on 'Reasons why you should have a Windows Phone'

You'll find the featured details of BBM for Windows Phone as displayed in the Windows Store

Note on V1: We're excited to offer BBM to Windows Phone users! V1 focuses on bringing the speed, privacy and security of BBM – loved by millions around the world – to chatting and sharing through 1:1, multiperson and BBM Group chats. We're already working hard on V2 where we'll introduce additional features to BBM for Windows Phone.

• Know when messages have been delivered (D's) and read (R's)
• Quickly share photos, voice notes, BBM contacts and your location
• See when contacts are responding to your message
• Emoticons for every mood and emotion let you express yourself

BBM, now specially designed for Windows Phone
• BBM picks up the modern look & feel of Windows Phone
• Pin BBM Groups and 1:1 chats to the Start screen for easy access to your most important chats

Chat and Share with many at once:
• Groups – BBM groups help you share pictures, lists and appointments with group members. You can even be in a group with people who aren't part of your own BBM contact list.
• Multi-person chats – Invite multiple contacts to have a chat together.
• Broadcast messages – Send a message to multiple BBM contacts at one time.

BBM lets you protect your privacy. You control it:
• You chose how to share your information – BBM uses PINs instead of phone numbers or email addresses so that it's more private and you always control who can contact you
• You chose your contacts – 2-way opt-in means you have control over who is able to message you

Create your own BBM profile:
• Post a profile picture using images or pictures
• Update your status to let people know what you're up to or how you feel
