BBM Beta goes public, available for everyone

Right on schedule, and as promised still in July, Blackberry Messenger for Windows Phone is now available for all to download.
It would appear that the public beta version of BBM is a different one than what was released for the closed beta testers earlier in the month. In any case, this version is apparently the one that BlackBerry is letting any Window Phone users try out.

Here's a quick description for version 1.0.0.0:

• Chat with friends on Windows Phone, iPhone, Android and BlackBerry:
• Know when messages have been delivered (D's) and read (R's)
• Quickly share photos, voice notes, BBM contacts and your location
• See when contacts are responding to your message
• Emoticons for every mood and emotion let you express yourself

Blackberry promises to continue adding features and move to the BBM version 2 soon.
