As the seasons turn I'm back in the decision mode. BBM or Whatsapp?

Whatsapp offers end to end encryption for short messages over the existing SMS system. How good that is I don't know. But, the claim is that it is fully secure, whatever that means.

BBM looks like the classic and apparently uses RIM servers. Since it doesn't ask for a password for each message and can be installed on different devices I'm not sure the reality of its' security. At least as good as classic?

Whichever, installation will be on Android, mainly Samsung, machines.

So, for security and convenience, with emphasis on security, which one?

Since I'm out of the business now you folks are way more current and knowledgeable.
