Vibrations aren't encrypted tho
- Hehe, when was the last time you saw another child successfully intercept a conversation via a taught string outside the treehouse?
PIN messages, and later BBM, was a great messaging app. It just needed a windows client to take off. I never understood why they couldn’t make that happen.
- It truly was. I recall my frustration as a blackberry owner circa 2010. Great mini keyboard you could type with incredible speed and accuracy,.great messenger, appalling battery life and overheating, and a total lavk of app options compared to all competitors :(
  
  Blackberry knew not every company needed their own app. We didn't listen.
