The Blackberry messenger is hugely popular with some people buying a BB just for the messenger. This is probably the main thing keeping BB from going under.
Even with all its popularity phones like the iPhone and SGS2 are vastly outselling Blackberrys. What would make an ordinary fella opt instead for the iPhone or SGS2 which does not have BBM over a Blackberry? What about those other phones make one not want to keep his BBM?

Well, in all honesty, I think the ONLY reason one should get a BB is for BBM. Other than that it falls short in almost every respect to even older UIQ devices.
Kik Messenger easily connects all iOS, Android and Win Phone users far better than BBM. And you're not tied down to archaic technology.
BB just gained popularity due to the "I'm busy, I've got a BB" image they have since most of their clients are corporate fleets.
I prefer
Kik or actual email to BBM.

As I dont know anyone with Kik then I wouldnt have anyone to talk to. As most people I know use Blackberrys I will be using BBM.

But JC, the iPhone and Androids are outselling by far, BB's. Therefore it stands to reason that most will not be using (eventually) BBM.
Or did I misunderstand what you meant?

Actually in the UK in 2010 Blackberrys outsold iPhones and Android phones
souce so it stands that more UK users will be moving to BBM where I am.

^^ Same situation in the Netherlands: in 2010 the BB Bold 9700 was the best sold phone here.

Wow! The iPhone and Android are not invincible after all then? It might be that only in the US does IOS and Android dominate the market.
BBM will probably help keep the Blackberry relevant.

Sometimes I wonder why people buy blackb's and the answers I get are:
- The "bbpin". This is how the majority of dominicans call the BBM.
- The "free" communication.
For God's sake! Those are vague answers. I tell them I can do that with Android. Whatsapp is a popular inter OS messenger which just needs a phone number. It's easier keeping a phone number than a bbpin.

Quite true! You have just strengthened my arguments for the next time I am in such a discussion.
