What are all the differences between texting and BBM?
I'm thinking abut getting a Blackberry. For some reason BBM is MADD popular in my school. But I was wondering if its really worth it...I mean isnt it essentially the exact same thing as texting...the only difference is that its free? because if thats the case, I think its kinda lame. So can someone please list ALL the differences between the 2? What does BBM offer that u cant get with texting?? Please LIST AS MANY ADVANTAGES that BBM has over texting as u can think of...thanks alot in advance =]]]

Well BBM is more like an instant messenger.
But in order for BBM to function, you have to have internet.
There's really not a big difference in the two, BBM just gets the messages faster. You get actual emoticons, if you send pictures, it'll be in the same thread etc.
I think you can have a group conversation as well.
It's basically an instant messenger, but of course for blackberry users.

BBM requires data and only works between BBs.
SMS text does not require data and can be used between any mobile phones.
