3. If you lose your BBM pin no. its becomes difficult to fix the problem
4. As many people follow new launched mobile trends by purchasing latest mobile phones may face problems by switching from BB to other mobile brand. In that case they need to connect with their friends either on Whatsapp or on such similar app if they want.

After all merits and demrits stated above of Whatsapp and BBM, the choice completely depends upon the users that which messenger they want to opt.
