Maybe I can give you some tips on how to use Beejive then...About half of that list isn't possible with Windows Live Messenger.
welcome anytime.

Actually you are wrong..
Things BBM can do that SMS can't:
1) Read and Delivery stamps
2) Encrypted Communication
3) Group Communication (Shared Calendars, Shared Pictures, Shared To-Do Lists)
4) Status Updates
5) Free Global Messaging
6) Free Global Picture, Video and Voice Messaging
7) Emoticons Support
8) Way faster than SMS
9) Unlimited Character Input
10) Multiperson Chat (Different than Groups)
Those are 10 off the top of my head that are leaps and bounds ahead of SMS. There is no way you can even come close to comparing SMS to BBM.

The best thing about bbm is that you can msg people all over the world for FREE. You don't have to pay ridiculous international messaging fees.
Things SMS can do that BBM can't:
1)Message 95% of my friends.
+1.
Except for me it's more like 99% of my friends. Blackberry had its turn wit the younger crowd now I rarely see a younger person with a blackberry. All I see are iPhones. Blackberry's are going to continuously fade out to the younger crowd because it's not a portable gaming system or a good iPod. Seriously RIM, when are you going to see that brickbreaker is getting old. Blackberry is more for the business type older crowd. I see everyone talk about BBM as being the greatest thing since sliced bread. I really don't understand it. My unlimited text messaging plan does just fun texting anyone and everyone I want.
The continued long delivery times and high demand disagree with you.
Angry Birds needs a serious retina display update. They had like 3 updates since the launch of the iPhone 4 and no graphics update. Lazy developers.
Have you even tried using BBM? It's a million times better than texting.
Uh, that's great.. and besides routing shared calenders through Gmail/CalDAV, what exactly are you getting that MSN doesn't get you?
I'm not restricted to BBs or even cell phones to do MSN with people i know.
lol have you tried messaging your friends who have other phones from BBM? oh wait, you can't. who needs BBM when you can use beejive or ebuddy to message all of your friends whether they're on an iphone, blackberry, android, mac, pc, linux....![]()

Wow, a lot of you guys have no sense of humor![]()
If my friend doesn't have BBM I simply use SMS. (yes, Blackberry does support SMS).
Again, Blackberry does support SMS incase you thought it was iPhone's proprietary messaging platform.
This is a big boy phone.
It's hard to see the value of BBM until it's reached critical mass in your social circle. I have 58 people on my BBM list. I can only think of 4 people I text regularly who don't have a BlackBerry. When everyone you know uses BBM, it is unbeatable.
