Why BBM can't beat Whatsapp ?

At last, after a wait of about one month the BBM is launched for the users of android and IOS. Its arrival also pulled a large number of audience, about 10 millions of download within 24 hours of launch. But will BBM be able to beat Whatsapp in popularity? Well it seams that there are various loopholes and issues due to which, according to me, whatsapp is still far ahead of BBM, at least for few starting months. Here are my reasons why.

1. PIN based model of BBM makes it different from whatsapp. Here pin based invite may be considered as an advantage when you dont want to share the cell number with a person. But for this one can use google talk instead, which is far more popular and simple. 
2. The current version of BBM for android contains some bug which needs to be removed. I found a check mark (signifying non-delivery) next to the messages sent by me even when the recipient had already read those messages (something that they confirmed via WhatsApp and/or Google Hangouts).
3. The user interface of whatsapp is better than BBM (according to me). The chat window of whatsapp there are more previously sent and received messages than BBM. Also the avatar in the chat window of BBM swallow up a large space.
4. Both BBM and whatsapp allows to send and share files like image, audio or video but in whatsapp the sharing is more interactive and easy than BBM. Also contacts and location sharing is not supported in BBM
5. Emoji is a new language for communication now a days. In this field whatsapp is far far ahead of BBM.

These were some of my reasons why I prefer whatsapp over BBM. But it does not means that I do not like BBM or I am saying that you should not use BBM. Its all your choice which app you want to use, you may like BBM over other apps.
