With the release of Blackberry Messenger for Android phones (Version 4.0 and above), many people who have android phones versions less than 4.0 have been complaining of being marginalized by Blackberry. They simply cannot understand why BBM would not be made to work on their phones. I have done a critical analysis of Whatsapp and BBM. As for me the better of the two is gotten from the comparison below
1. Whatsapp automatically adds the Contacts in your phone into your friend list, you do not have to send a friend request unlike BBM.
WHATSAPP 1- BBM 0
2. You can PING (send messages) to only people you have their BBM Pin, this means your Father, Mother, Enemies will not know your Pin unless you give it to them. In whatsapp once you save a person's number in your phone and the person has registered for whatsapp, he/she can view your status and even chat with you. BBM therefore is more SECURITY CONSCIOUS than Whatsapp.
BBM 1- WHATSAPP 0
3. Whatsapp works on all Android phones and over 60 % of java phones in the world including Nokia Asha 200 & 205. BBM works on BB phones and Android phones with version 4.0 and upwards including Tecno phones.
WHATSAPP 1- BBM 0
4. With Whatsapp you can send Picture, Video, Audio message, Contact, Location while on BBM, you can only send Picture and Audio message. (When Chatting, click on ATTACH in Whatsapp or BBM)
WHATSAPP 1- BBM 0
5. The Swag and Effizy of having a BBM Pin is something that shows class and elevates the status of a Guy or Babe . I can't remember how many times I was embarrassed when People ask for my BB Pin ! I will just say: I am planning on getting a BB soon.
BBM 1- WHATSAPP 0
The Final Breakdown
Whatsapp BBM
Point 1 1 0
Point 2 0 1
Point 3 1 0
Point 4 1 0
Point 5 0 1
TOTAL 3 2
Whatsapp has 3 points while BBM has 2.
So this means Whatsapp is better than BBM.
From the foregoing, if your phone cannot use BBM (Android version below 4.0) DO NOT FEEL BAD because Whatsapp is better than BBM. As for me I have the two installed on my Tecno L3 but most of my Friends and fans still prefer to communicate with me using WHATSAPP.

sure whatsapp is better than BBM because few people can afford to have Android Version 4 and BB. What i hate again is to wait for BBM requst to be responded because most of its users fells sweet hence they ignore your request forever or it takes so long to respond.
