Or if I need a blackberry phone could I uses friends or will it be there messages

Go to Solution.

At this time you need a BlackBerry phone paired to your PlayBook to use BBM. Hopefully at somepoint in the future BBM will come to the PlayBook as a native app without needing a BlackBerry phone.
You can pair your friends phone to your tablet, but it will use their contact list. It just mirrors whatever is on their phone - email, address book, BBM contacts, etc... You will not be able to create your own BBM list using their phone.

    How can I get BBM on my iPhone4 ?? Plz help we all need a SOLUTION for this problem , plz apple help us

    BBM is designed as a blackberry to blackberry instant messenger, so basicially its an instant messenger exclusiveto a specific device.
    earlier this year RIM said they would develop a "watered-down" version of BBM for android and ios but that never surfaced since you would have to figure out a way to connect non-blackberry device to the blackberry network for this to even work. But RIM has resently gone the opposite way with the BBM port, since the only thing that sells BB's right now it BBM so if they allow BBM on non-BB then there would be no need to buy a BB anymore.

    How can I get bbm on iphone5

    You get it from the app store the same way you get any other app from the app store... Do you even have an iPhone?
    As for when, ask Blackberry... They said later this year... based on their track record of shipping software on time, I'd say that means it will be released  exactly 2 days before they declare bankruptcy and lay off all their (remaining) employees.

  • How do I get Playbook out of my AppWorld & remove uninstalled apps forever?

    I had a Playbook.  Great device.  Gave it to a co-worker so he could do more testing.  Apparently I'm never getting it back again.  :-)  So how do I get that Playbook out of my Appworld?  It always appears under available devices and I don't want it there any more.  Because more importantly I want all the associated PlayBook apps gone from "My World".  I only have a Torch now so I don't want to see any PlayBook apps any more.  It's cluttering up my list and complicates things when I'm using AppWorld in my web browser with my device connected to the computer. 
    Going one level even deeper, how do I remove previously downloaded apps from my list permanently?  I shouldn't have to be clicking through 4 pages of apps when I don't care about half of them any more.  I understand my purchases are being protected by ensuring that I can download the app again if I choose.  But really, I don't choose.  I want some of these apps gone forever.  Is that possible?

    I have read that in an upcoming version that is currently in beta test phase, you are able to hide your uninstalled apps from My World.

  • HOW CAN I GET MY DATA BACK ON MEDIA CARD AFTER WIPING DEVICE

    please help, i wiped my device clean then did a back up and everything was back except the things i had on my media card. how do i get it back?

    When  you wiped your device, there is an option which you must check in order to wipe your Media card, did you have that checked or unchecked?
    I am afraid that the Media Card in included in the backup of the device memory.

  • How do I change bbm back to older version??

    Hi there, I just updated my bbm version from 7 to 8. I do not like the new bbm and I'm wondering how do I change it back to the 7.0.1.2.3 version??
    I tried backing up my phone via desktop manager but it didn't change my bbm back
    Please help!!! Thanks so much

    I did a couple of things that gave me back bbm 7. although ALL is deemed unsafe to do by BLACKBERRYHELP people who wrote back to me via twitter.....
    1. go to options/setting (the wrench icon); choose APPLICATION; choose add-on/core and look for the "BlackBerry Messenger" and click on the bblogo button, it should give you the option to DELETE. click on delete and reboot the device. you'll be prompted to install bbm upon restarting.
    2. do a complete device "format" (reloading the OS) and in my case, I choose to update via bb built-in browser instead of appworld to get bbm 7. if I chose appworld, it would certainly put bbm 8.1 back on my device, an old 8530 that spits out at least 3 error messages hourly while running bbm 8.1.
    3. a couple of my friend found some links that rages through the broadcast msg, the one that gives you an URL to just forcely install bbm7 upon bbm8. it works on their device (newer ones, started with 9)
    good luck

    1. Delete the newer OS from your PC by going to Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs. (If you never physically installed the OS to your PC, skip to step 2.)
    2. Then download and install the older version of the OS. BlackBerry Operating System Downloads
    3. Install the older OS to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    5. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
