Update: Sorry I haven't posted but I saw really no point to post without any news or proof of what I am doing.

It is unlikely that I will be able to port the actual BB Messenger it self, although it is in fact possible, but as people mentioned earlier, legal constraints get in the way. And in no way am I doing or encouraging anything illegal.

However the best option is to make a port of PingChat or Whatsapp which have alot of users on BB's as well as iPhone, Android and many Nokia Smartphones.

I am currently in correspondance with the developers of these apps, I have emailed my suggestions and design ideas to them and am awaiting on their part for a decision to permit me to have their source codes and go ahead with this project.

This is in no way a confirmation of anything, but this is the current stage where I'm at right now. So I thought it would be useful to post a little update.

Regardless of the difficulties and hurdles, I will port such an app for Maemo OS, even if I have to re-write it fully from scratch. I'm not trying to give anyone false hope, but my intentions are strong.
