As mentioned earlier BBM will continue to grow with more upcoming features and functionality, Jeff Gadway from BlackBerry just let us know via Twitter that the ability to send BBM emoticons through broadcast messages will be coming to BlackBerry 10 in the next update of BBM.
Pleased to say that emoticons in broadcast messages are coming to #BB10 in our next #BBM release! In beta soon. cc: @BBM_Bugs

I am not a real big fan of broadcast messages, I used to use them when BlackBerry allowed you to select all of one group/category to send a broadcast message to, now the only option there is, is select all or one by one, not a big fan of that, hopefully they bring back the ability to send to specific groups! Glad that they are bringing emoticons to broadcast messages though, what do you all think?
