Looks like another free cross-platform messenger has arose to the BlackBerry Market as of March 26. For those who didn't notice "Kik messengers" short lived appearance on the BlackBerry market before they were sued by RIM, hopefully "LiveProfile" won't suffer the same fate. "LiveProfile" is claiming free membership compared to "WhatsApp" where only the first year is free. In addition, they seem to offer instant real-time chatting, much like Google Wave. One good advantage is it uses push notifications that seems to be helping the battery usage, says some Beta users.
The biggest thing I think they have to overcome is convincing the blinded BBMers out there that this is better than what they are currently using. If "LiveProfile" can succeed to do that without getting sued, they win. I say give it a try, and I'm waiting for the day RIM gets beaten in their own game, which shouldn't be too long ;)
