Have you had the following thing ever happen to you? You’re sitting around a table with friends at a restaurant, friends you’ve been out of touch with for some time, planning to spend a couple of hours catching up…and they are all text messaging. The surprising part? They are text messaging with each other!
If this has happened to you, chances are good that the phones they are so furiously thumb-typing on are Blackberries, and they are using the exciting Blackberry Messenger, sometimes referred to as BBM, technology.
This is one of the main reasons why the name “Crackberries” have been given to them among the young generations of gadget geeks. They are the best and most fun avenue of keeping track of your life and keeping in touch with friends! And in addition to advanced calendar programming, high-speed internet access, text messaging, email push technology, crystal clear phone reception, and advanced contact organization capabilities, you can do the awesomely cool and fun thing of being able to add other friends that have Blackberries to your Messenger friends list. You can invite them onto your Messenger friends list either via email or through their Blackberry PIN number. Once they are added to your Blackberry friends list, you can now communicate with them instantaneously any time their phone happens to be turned on. Which, if you know anything about Blackberry users, is most all of the time.
What is Blackberry Messenger? Basically, it is enhanced real-time text communication between users of Blackberry PDA phones, and it includes things like multi-media sharing and lots of other neat enhancements. Here’s how it works: instead of being SMS based like regular text messages, the messages are relayed through Blackberry’s RIM servers, much like email, so it can take advantage of Blackberry’s other famous proprietary system, push technology. This ensures that messages arrive at your phone at virtually the same instant they are sent by your friend.
But, the cool things about Messenger are far from only technical. You can make use of Blackberry Messenger Icons and other assorted smilies to make your points and express your emotions. These are available for download directly from Blackberry or from outside services. You can take pictures and send them instantly to the others on your friends list, or you entire friends list actually. You can leave voice messages or other audio messages for your friends through messenger, or even use it as a standard text messenger for sending straight text messages that don’t involve multimedia.
So that’s why it’s certainly not out of the ordinary to see a whole table of friends out at a bar or a restaurant, all with their Blackberries out, and laughing and furiously text messaging - with each other!
