Having Conversations
You come to this point because what you really want to do is chat with your
friends with BlackBerry Messenger. The short sections here give you a quick
rundown on starting individual or group conversations. We also throw in
some steps on sharing files and saving your conversation history.
Starting a conversation
You can easily start a conversation with any of your contacts. Follow these
steps:
1. On the BlackBerry Messenger main menu, touch-press the name in
your contacts list.
A traditional chat interface opens, with a list of old messages at the top
and a text box for typing messages at the bottom.
2. Type your message.
3. Touch-press the enter key.
Any messages you send (as well as any responses you get) are appended
to the history list at the top.
Starting a group conversation
You can also invite others to your BlackBerry Messenger conversation.
Follow these steps:
1. During a conversation, press the menu key.
The BlackBerry Messenger main menu appears. This time, an Invite
option has been added.

The Select Contacts screen opens, listing your BlackBerry Messenger
contacts who are currently available (see Figure 9-7).
