BlackBerry's BBM comes to Windows Phone in beta form ahead of widespread launch

From InfoWorld: In response to "an incredible number of requests," Blackberry will soon bring its BBM messaging app to Windows Phone.

For now, the app is in a filled-up closed beta, though you can register to join the waiting list. Blackberry says it will open the app to everyone in "the coming weeks."

It appears that Blackberry is embracing the modern-style design of Windows devices. Users will be able to swipe through each section of the app, and can pin any contact directly to the Start screen for faster access.

The BBM app will have three main sections. Contacts will let users find friends, create groups, and start multi-person chats. The Chats section will list all ongoing conversations in reverse-chronological order, and the Feeds section includes recent contact activity such as status changes, broadcast messages, and new profile photos.
