There's an app that uses bluetooth to connect phones and send messages but you need to be in the same area to use it. CBA to find a link though.
This would be sooo great! I think this is one area that the iPhone is lacking in.
I hate to be the one to say this but guys, old old topic. Do a search, it's Bren discussed multiple multiple times, especially recently, usually as iChat or BB Messenger. Each time people bring it up, there's an argument about how nobody needs it by people who have never used it. The truth is, loads of people like it. Almost everybody I know who had a BB uses it heavily. It is not the same as SMS or email or IM. Again, check out the other threads. All the arguments have been listed there.
Never even used BBM on my BlackBerry...
Well, you can send text, pictures, your location, and voice recordings via IM apps, and at least one app, in a future upgrade, will supposedly have sending of (camera-recorded) videos. There aren't any silly 160 char limitations there.It's not stupid, I could send text, music, ringtones, pictures, files, and more and not worry about writing more than 160 characters. I can't do that with my iPhone.
Never used BBM on my Blackberry back in the day, but I'm hoping for a really good abacus program.

Use one of the plethora of IM apps on the phone. BBM? Please. Welcome to the 1990's.
ROFL! Just drag each ring over on the screen. Then count how many rings you have moved.
I think it would be useless.
Why limit yourself to iphone users only when you can text/instant message/email/MMS/ with anyone on any network and any device?
Just to feel cool or exclusive?
Well it would cost $ for Apple to develop and maintain this, so it makes sense for it to be iPhone only. Why would Apple push IMs for other cellphones?
