Yesterday I installed BBM on my iPhone.

It works nicely, unfortunately I couldn’t recover my old original BBM account and had to create a new one. I had a blackberry for a while and it was a very nice phone. The problem was that it was on AT&T and where I worked, the phone had zero AT&T coverage.

Creating a new account wasn’t a big deal.

WHY? Did I do this, you ask?

Well, I noticed a tech news story that said BBM now could search for other people who were using it.

After installation I told BBM to scan for people in my contacts list.

You know what? Zip, NADA, Not one of my friends is still using BBM.

I’ll leave it installed, who knows, perhaps some of my buds will turn up.

The app is pretty nice although I can’t comment on the chat function.

You have to have someone to chat with after all.

I still think that iMessage is awesome on the iPhone and since I have unlimited texting with my phone plan, BBM may be an application that just takes up some room but never gets used.
