BlackBerry Messenger

I know that I have talked about BlackBerry Messenger before and even recently listed it as one of my 5 must have free BlackBerry downloads, however, I feel that I need to mention it again because it is just an incredibly useful and nifty application.

Now, I will be the first one to tell you that BlackBerry Messenger is not the most technologically advanced IM client for the BlackBerry, however, in classic BlackBerry style, BlackBerry Messenger is easy to set up, simple to use, and flat out gets the job done when it comes to sending quick messages to another BlackBerry user or even a group of users.

One of the things that I like most about BlackBerry Messenger is that all BlackBerry users are able to use it. You don’t even have to sign up for an account. If you have a BlackBerry, download BlackBerry Messenger and invite other BlackBerry users via email or their BlackBerry PIN. Invitees that don’t already have BlackBerry Messenger installed can download the app over-the-air via a link in the invitation they receive or just go to the downloads section of mobile.BlackBerry.com.

BlackBerry Messenger, BlackBerry IM

D is Delivered. R is unknown to me..but I suspect maybe it means rejected or returned?

I think the r stands for received as in the person has been on the page that the message was on and had looked it over

when there is only a check mark after you send a message, it means it has been sent from your phone, but there phone hasnt recieved it yet, ie if there phone is shut off, if there is a “d”, it means it has been delivered to the other phone, and the “r” means that they have opened the page to read it

THE R STANDS FOR THAT THE PERSON YOU ARE MESSAGING HAS READ THE MESSAGE! AND THE D MEANS IT WAS DELIVERED TO THEM!!

But I still don’t understand about the D with the check mark. 99% of the time when I send a text, I just see a check with no letter (and these are texts that I know have been read). 1% of the time, I send a text and see the check with the D. Why is it different? Can anyone clear up the rationale for why this happens sometimes and doesn’t happen other times?

I need to know the answer to rohit’s question too, do ‘Blackberry Connect’ phones (such as the Nokia E90) which boast blackberry functionality have the ability to use blackberry messenger on them?

Frank,

The A stands for “Acknowledged.” It’s the same as “R” for read. Believe it or not, this is theme-controlled. On a Verizon-provisioned 8830, using the Verizon theme will display the “A,” and switching to one of the RIM themes will make it be an “R.” Bizarre.

I have a BB curve and I used to be able to use the BB Messenger without any problem until my company email was activated through Enterprise Activation. Now I can receive messages, but when I send/reply the ther person doesn’t get them. I get a “D” next to the message, and all my contacts are busy/pending. Anybody have any solutions?? This is so frustrating!!! Thanks.

Thanx Juan, that is bizzare…. I have the 8830 with Verizon, leave it to Verizon to be backasswards with this whole “A” business.
