We will find out sooner or later whether BBM can withstand its claims.
The point that I am trying to make is that people were suggesting that Blackberry is the only player in the game with message encryption and I am just trying to say that there are others including Whatsapp that have that feature as well, and whether it has security vulnerabilities or not, is a whole other debate.

1. That's just speculation. I'm talking as of now. BBM is much more secure than Whatsapp. It always was in the past, it still is in the present, but I won't deny that Whatsapp has a chance to take it in the future.
2. India is one of the world leaders in IT right now. There TONS of hackers from that country including TONS in the government. None of which could get into BBM messages. Blackberry knows what it's doing when it comes to security. The government led a full out attack against BBM and the end result was forcing RIM to give customer information.
3. I agree with you there. BBM is definitely not the only messaging app to go to when it comes to security. However given Whatsapp's security history, BBM is one of the leading apps when it comes to security.
Whatsapp and other messaging applications are great. I was just replying to this comment about Whatsapp running rings around BBM when really it doesn't at all...
