penticom: point of correction, i use android phone, i also use BB plan on it. so i don't need to cry over MB as u said. i also enjoy more in term of browsing, sign up as many as possible mail address, FB, Gtalk, Whatsapp,just think of anything. googgle play store is another GBEMU, u better port to android. If BBM finally available for IOS and ANDROID, that is obituary of BB. have a nice day
Please, how do you use bb plan on your Android? Do you mean you get unlimited data plan for a month with #1000 on your Android phone?
Re: BlackBerry To Launch BBM For Android & iOS Mobile Platforms by iwanchop(m): 5:30am On May 15, 2013
The free app will be available
once approved for Apple's iOS 6
software released last year and
devices running Android 4.0 or
higher, released in late 2011.

If I hear that he gets unlimited data on android. It is only etisalat that provides unlimited data without fair usage in Nigeria and from what I've learnt from the phone section, Etisalat works on ONLY bb. But you can hotspot the connection from a bb to your android if you like but the point is you still need a bb with bis.

ilugunboy: Now Blackerry (RIM) is about to lose that it uniqueness and the flagship item that stands it out.

The question now is; how do we connect ...as PIN won't work on other operating systems.
PIN will be generated automatically, once u register. Just as MOZAT chat app

I may seeing dis topic late bt my question is does andriod phones have push mail like in bb where u recieve instant mail on d go nd also reply instantly because dis what kipin wit bb due 2 my nature of work.
Re: BlackBerry To Launch BBM For Android & iOS Mobile Platforms by Justiyke4u: 8:08am On May 15, 2013
This may a plan to knock out whatsapp but at the long run, is a life sentence and suicidal for bb itself for many will find reasons to drop their bb since they r only making use of its bbm service. I think rim just woke up from the prophecy that they will fade out from the market dis year. This report just confirmed that android really rules.

Just as if i saw it coming Last month i just dumped my Curve 7 for a shiny ICS Tecno Q1 and I've had no cause for regrets. What's left now is for network providers to give us cheaper data plans
Re: BlackBerry To Launch BBM For Android & iOS Mobile Platforms by cuteypooch(m): 8:32am On May 15, 2013
The BBM for Android & IOS is for android ICS 4.0(and above) & IOS 6.0 respectively. And for those who think a blackberry pin would be assigned, Are you all aware of blackberry ID? BlackBerry ID is the unique identification that'll be used for BBM users on Android & IOS, not BB pin.
Re: BlackBerry To Launch BBM For Android & iOS Mobile Platforms by cj1080(m): 8:33am On May 15, 2013
deeper meaning in this news. Does it mean that blackberry is finally giving up on the sale of sinner to move to a messenger app provider.

Cos they gotta know that if they do this blackberry phone sales will drop. drastically.

except the idea is to leave their bbm app out there while they close up shop.

who knows.
Re: BlackBerry To Launch BBM For Android & iOS Mobile Platforms by adewasco2k(m): 8:35am On May 15, 2013
I am sorry for you guys thinking BBM on other platform will work just exactly as on Blackberry....if BBM turn to a regular app on any phone then blackberry devices are gone because thats just one unique thing about blackberry. i believe the way its gonna look like is blackberry devices can ping others others can also ping blackberry but for example a BBM on iPhone should not PING another iPhone.

if not RIP BLACKBERRY

Don't be daft. Blackberry announced the app will work exactly the same on iOS and Android as on other platforms. Fully cross platform chats between Android, iOS and Blackberry.

Re: BlackBerry To Launch BBM For Android & iOS Mobile Platforms by Codedeben: 9:34am On May 15, 2013
Hope this would not teleport them back a century. With this their high level of declesion in the smartphone market share is imminent. Unless they dedicate the next days of their life in coming out with new innovations that isn't open source and can conveniently convince gadgets lovers, I don't think BB LOVERS would still have reasons to stick to them, considering the flexibility in Android OS and others.

12 inches!:
Point of correction pple, the reason I use bb is not because of bbm but because bis is cheap. For 1k on etisalat, I have unlimited data, my push email which is more than enuff requirement for me. I'm not like those android users that cry over mb or switch of their data network from time to time. My bb is more than enuff for my internet needs. When data on android becomes as cheap as 1k I will make no hesitation to consider switching but for now, na bb tinzzz ooo.

PS: Even Android users all want to use our lovely cheap unlimited data bis on their fones *tongue out*
that issue has been put 2 rest by MTN..their BIS can be used on all devices including PC
