BlackBerry® Messenger provides BlackBerry® users with the familiar look-and-feel of desktop instant messaging programs, right on their BlackBerry device.

Use BlackBerry Messenger to chat with other BlackBerry device users in an easy-to-use instant messaging format. It is designed to support group-chat, provide you with the availability status of your contacts and track message delivery status.

If you already use Personal Identification Number ("PIN") messaging on your BlackBerry device, you'll love how this new application expands on that functionality and makes it even easier.
