Which BlackBerry Messenger is being ported? Cause as some users here have pointed out, they all seem to be closed sourced....

I'm not sure what you are really going to achieve here there are already messenger apps for n900 and most people I suspect will have an unlimited sms plan?? If you were to get it to communicate with BBM we would be looking at something potentially great

Trying to reverse engineer the BBM protocol is illegal.
If you aren't trying to do that, then I don't get your post.

a BBM app would be great to communicate with all the other blackberrys. I'll be checking this thread often. Heck, i'm willing to put up good money for its development if Prozac thinks it could speed up the process...

Why did you create two threads?
And could mods merge the two. Getting difficult to follow two identical threads with different posts.

the real issue, is the fact that is HARD AS HELL, and will burn you life down. even with experienced programmers, is a task that can take months, just to make an unstable version.
is not for everyone, we need heroes for a task like this.

Then it would be legal, but it would be illegal if the same person was both analyzing the API and coding a clone of it.

Actually, ignore what I said, I'm not sure of it. But why do you think you don't see any messenger supporting BBM with this massive linux community ?
Even if it was possible, we would still need a valid BB Pin which is only present on BlackBerries.
