Hands up if you are upset Blackberry hasn't released a BBM app for Windows Phone

I for one was an avid Blackberry user ever since I got a Bold 9780, and of course I soon discovered BBM and got into a few social networks that I thought I would never have gotten into if I never knew BBM existed. The immediacy of the messaging was just really a plus point for me, while I kept finding ways to meet more overseas acquaintances.

On the other hand, I have always liked the Metro interface (despite many sentiments against it), and I wanted to try the Windows phone platform for the longest time. However, when Blackberry decided to not port BBM over to Windows Phone (for now), it was an action that cut off that part of the phone market to me. Now I have to find a secondary device to run BBM if I were to employ Windows Phone as my daily phone device.

It is a pity.

I'm with you. The WP interface is a big draw for me, but I still know a lot of people that use BBM (BB, iOS, and Android users) and I was looking forward to using it on a WP8 device. Will have to wait longer I guess and keep carrying two devices!
