But it would in no way be my primary messaging app. I would definitely try it out on my phone just to get a feel of the app on the Android platform, as I have used it briefly on an older BlackBerry. If not, I see no use for another messaging service eating up space on my home screen.
However, in the end, it all depends on whether other people I know are using BBM. Not exactly the best of features, but it might be good for some. The only thing BBM has going for it is the security afforded by the fact that messages sent and received through it are encrypted. When it comes to features, though, almost every other messaging service out there is on par, if not better than BlackBerry's offering. Being the anti-social recluse that I am, the second one seems very unlikely.
However, the only reason one would consider downloading the app is if either a) it offers more (potentially useful) features than other services, or b) all your friends use BlackBerry. BBM already has a decent user base thanks to it being bundled with every BlackBerry phone out there. The success or (more often than not) failure of any messaging service always depends on its adoption. I may download to try it out, but doubt whether I will be using in long term.
