Facebook Messenger challenges both entrenched standards like SMS and competitors like BlackBerry Messenger, but does it stand up to the hype? We go hands-on to offer our first impressions.

Here, I’ll take you through a hands-on walkthrough of Facebook Messenger to help us all get a better handle on what Facebook Messenger is — and which services it may or may not smother.
