I actually prefer whatsapp. BBM was crap then and still crap now and yes it's working on my phone

[rocknrolla]

no need to be all fox n grapes about bbm. iit's the best thing since sliced bread. secure encrypted chat, with attachments, and voice and video chat features on the way. bbm is the future. get an adroid lol

[S_2NR]

Pretty sure when whatsapp launch their update that will kill the bbm off.

Unless their update provides better emoticons, moving from phone numbers to add to pin system, a status update tab and not having to connect to a server before allowing one to send a message then I think not.

Oh lord. U still fighting Bbm down. Give it up na.

^ Ent. There's the Official Blackberry thread for him to tout his "superior" BBM app.

Funny I thought we discussing anything apple related in here. Including apps on iOS.

[DJ Q]

I prefer whatsapp where you can just have a number and chat.
This PIN thing sucks.

BBM also does not landscape and THAT sucks.

The only thing I miss with a BBM was the ability to add reminders in groups that notifies multiple people. That was cool.

[src1983]

Also I find it annoying that when a pic is posted to a group you have to leave the chat and go to group pics to comment on a pic...

This to me seems backward

[S_2NR]

I think the best feature of Bbm is the built in time machine which allows you to talk to ppl stuck in the past.

iOS apps worthy of a discussion sure - there are tons; not crap made by a failing company.

This to me seems backward

I prefer the separate group pics. Comments are relevant to the pic and are easy to find. Depending on the length of the chat you would have to scroll through alot of messages to get back to relevant pic comments within whatsapp. Also not everyone in the chat posts relevant pic comments so the convo can become disjointed.

At this point the differences are minor and people will easily switch between the two. Alot of people just used whatsapp because bbm wasn't available on other platforms as opposed to really wanting to use whatsapp. Those are the people who are basically switching back to bbm.

Can anyone tell me why whatsapp needs to connect to a server before it allows me to press the send button? Is there a work around for this on iOS? I would prefer to be able to send messages when whatsapp can't connect and let it sort itself out in the background later when it can connect while I do other things on my phone.

[Trini Hookah]

IPad air looks cool.

[Skuld]

Quick question: For those who own both an iPad and iPhone, is the iPad just a very expensive ebook/pdf/magazine reader for you or do you have other uses for it?

the iPad has many more uses over an iPhone especially that it is considerably easier to browse the web, watch movies and tv, use apps and games on the larger screen.

My MacBook Air takes care of the first 2 tasks easily, but I see your point with games on the larger screen (Infinity Blade, PvZ 2, etc.)...hopefully, they'll release the next iPhone with a screen larger than 4".

[M_2NR]

With 7.0.3 i turned on Reduce motion and Increase contrast and the 4S finally feels ok. For i4 users, if you do that, you can see a bump in performance.

It's sad that I had to use this thing for a month on 7.0.2 and had me wishing I stayed on Android.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

iPhone 4 doesn't use parallax effect so reduced motion isn't an option. The 4 is just under real pressure in general.
