Do I need a blackberry phone to use a Blackberry playbook?

Can I use BlackBerry Messenger on the BB PlayBook if I don't have a BlackBerry phone?

  • I have an Android phone, but I like BBM and the PlayBook, too, so will I be able to use it even if I can't connect my phone with the PlayBook via Bloetooth?

  • Answer:

    In the current version of the official shipping product there is no native BBM application, you can only BBM through Blackberry Bridge to a Blackberry phone. OS 2.0 included several native programs not originally provided but unfortuately BBM is not one of them. It's generally believed that RIM will release native BBM for the playbook at some future date, possibly in release 2.1 of the OS but there is no official announcement.
