*CONFIRMED* - Blackberry Messenger Coming To Samsung. Sell Ur Blackberry Now! by Stanley08(m): 12:48pm On Aug 19, 2013 |

Well, i won't blame anyone for doubting it, because this 'rumor' has been around for sometime now. This was doubted probably because the general idea was that blackberry phones use BIS and without BIS you can't make use of BBM, but upon the release of the Blackberry Z10, the first ever blackberry phone (BB10) to operate BBM with regular internet data, it was proven that BBM can indeed work with regular data and BIS is not compulsory. But anyways! I want to now bring to your notice that this is NOT a rumor! At least, not anymore. Blackberry has decided to take BBM cross-platform to both Android (4.0 and above) and iOS (6.0 and above). But first, BBM will be available for Only Samsung Smartphones and only in Africa to start with, then from there they will expand to other smartphone and other parts of the world and of course to iOS sometime later. Blackberry set the release date as 'Summer 2013', which means that we are expecting BBM on Samsung phones in Africa before August runs out! And as the photo above shows, it is currently being tested. And if you have been watching SuperSports then you have seen the Advert. Quoting a post from New24 "Samsung announced on Tuesday that BlackBerry Messenger, that chat service popular on BlackBerry devices, will be launched on Galaxy smartphones. "Offering BBM on Galaxy smartphones in Africa will give Samsung customers access to the BBM social network, including BBM chats, multi-person chats and BBM Groups, which allows BBM customers to create groups of up to 30 people, as well as the ability to share photos and voice notes," Samsung said. In May, News24 reported that BlackBerry announced the expansion of BBM to non-BlackBerry devices at the company's BlackBerry Live event in Orlando, Florida. "Upon release, BBM customers would be able to broaden their connections to include friends, family and colleagues on other mobile platforms," BlackBerry said at the time. The mobile ecosystem has resulted in a range of instant messaging applications that are not device dependant and BlackBerry is highly motivated to expand its service as apps like WhatsApp and WeChat gain momentum. Reciprocal manoeuvre Samsung has long had its own messaging app called ChatON, and the company hinted that BBM would augment its own offerings. "Value added services are considered a prerequisite in the fast-paced, challenging environment that exists today and as a result, we will continue to drive innovation through our smart hub functionalities to ensure our consumers have the choice which they desire," said George Ferreira, vice president of Samsung Electronics Africa. In what can be interpreted as a reciprocal manoeuvre, ChatON was available on the BlackBerry World store from 6 August BBM has around 50 million monthly active users who send about 10 billion messages per day. The platform is also due to be launched on iOS, but no dates have been announced. The BBM for Samsung Galaxy phones will be available on Google's Play Store" So my Advice is that you SELL YOUR BLACKBERRY PHONES for something now while it still has some value! Or dash it to your younger ones by next month because the demand for Samsung phones will TRIPLE in coming weeks! Cheers! 1 Like |

BBM is the only reason it seems 'sane' to use a Blackberry Messenger in the 21st century. Now that they are losing that EXCLUSIVE feature, It's RIP BB. Btw, they are looking to se;; thier company. Make boys see if we go fit join money buy am.. E no go too cost like that. |

U couldn't hb put it better, in as much as I hate BB for not bein applications friendly, I still give it to them as they are data friendly. It is all about priority, if u r a type dt can't afford much cash on data and u need to be online often, BB shld be ur choice, don't follow the crowd. ibot_jaycob: Not like I'm praising BB but, its actually cheaper to use, my S3 na so so zap he dey chop mb, if there's no cheat u cnt enjoy it, but bb is still better pocket wise, which is y I can't sell my Bld 5.

Re: *CONFIRMED* - Blackberry Messenger Coming To Samsung. Sell Ur Blackberry Now! by Stanley08(m): 1:55pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
Emekayoung: I won't get technical with this issue, but BBM is more secure and has more content. Do you know that every content you send through whatsapp can be accessed by the people at whatsapp in California?! No! It's not same for BBM, in fact LAI LAI! . Anyways, whatsapp has advantage because it is cross-platform. Lets wait till BBM goes cross platform then we will see if it lives or dies! |
