Why don't they make WhatsApp entirely internet based service, so when my phone dies I can still use it...
I Think the concept was built on BBM, the idea is "Privacy" it's not stored on their servers (Not like Gmail that everything is hosted On Gmail's Servers ) the only use of their servers are only used to transport the messages encrypted until it reaches final destination

What an odd number.
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256,

Makes a lot of sense.

Sort of. Perhaps it was simpler for them to code it like that.
