I have never used BBM but there are about 700 messengers for Android including all your *Big Boys* from the PC: Yahoo, Facebook Chat, Google Talk ... hell we've even got Trillian so you can do em all at once. But having never used BBM I can't say if that's what you are looking for.

Well here is the thing..me and my girlfriend both had blackberrys and we used BBM because it had all kinds of fun smiley faces..well now I have a evo and she has the blackberry and she misses the smiley faces..so to be honest with you if there was an app that we could both use that has smileys on it that would be great!

LIVE Profile is awesome.
Works with Apple, Android and soon to be Blackberry, and it's Free and has a fantastic design. Works well.

Actually Kik was taken down for Blackberry, and RIM is now suing Kik.
I use What'sApp because I only use these things for texting pics, as I do not have a texting SMS plan with my carrier.

Don't think there is one for BlackBerry though is there? I think that is the point for some of us, is an app must be available for all 3 platforms. I have a bunch of friends, including the wife, who are still using BB's. I want to be able to message easily with them.
I'm eagerly waiting for LiveProfile to be available for BB (it's available for Android and iPhone right now). That will do for us until BB is available for Android and iPhone I guess. Depends on what it costs and what features are disabled, if any, for the other platforms.

Whatsapp is great, and has a mess of the smilys and icons you were asking about.
And is on all 3 platforms. BB, ios, and Android

Part of what I like about BBM and also what I like about LiveProfile is the fact that it tells me if my message has been read. That's important to me. I also like the fact that LP shows if the person you are talking with is typing a message currently as well.
