PPID
Users are identified by their PPID. A user's PPID is the same across multiple instances of BBM (for example, on a BlackBerry smartphone and a BlackBerry tablet), when the user signs in with the same BlackBerry ID. PPID is encoded as a base64 string using the ASCII character set.
Handle
The handle is an identifier for a user on the BBM Social Platform whose device is running BlackBerry 7 or earlier. It is provided for backwards compatibility and should NOT be used as a persistent identifier for a user. Use the PPID instead.
