Blackberry Owners Unite!

Got a 9700 bold, upgrade day has just arrived. If I didn't use BBM to keep in contact with my friends, I'd probably switch to HTC. But, BBM is amazing, and I've no actual complaints about by 9700. Therefore, I will be going in to the store and testing out the Torch, although I'm pretty sure I already want it

Just ditched my Blackberry for the Droid Thunderbolt. Hate to ruin the party but it's light years ahead of my Berry other than the lackluster battery life which is where the BBs tend to shine but my Tour served me well for two years.

So how do you like it after a couple days? Was it easy to learn how to use? I played with one at the store when they came out last week and that thing was freaking fast when using the web browser!! But I have 3 more months before I can upgrade.

FYI I have been reading that BBM will be released to all platforms, and by the end of the year. Have even read it on crackberry dot com. There are also other Instant Msg apps out there that can already be used on other phones including BB. So I would not let BBM make your mind up for you.

In 3 months I will be getting something besides a BB, maybe by the time that contract is up they will have a QNX OS for their phones and I will go back.

Are they free free? That is to say, will they take up none of my data or text allowance? That is the beauty of BBM for me, anywhere in the world, it's free, independent of any roaming charges!

Of course when the BBM reaches other platforms it will be the same, and from what I have read the other IMs work the same way. You will have to search them I don't have any names off hand.
