BBM for Android leaked on Samsung Galaxy S3
ahead of 'Summer' release date
BBM for Android spotted on Samsung Galaxy S3
1/08/2013
BBM for Android has been spotted running on a
Samsung Galaxy S3 ahead of the IM client’s
scheduled ‘summer’ rollout. BGR secured the
image, giving us our first look at what BBM will
look running on a non-BlackBerry device.
BlackBerry announced its plans to make BBM cross
platform at BlackBerry World Live 2013. It was a
big announcement and something that took a lot of
people of guard.
We’re now well into the ‘summer’ and BlackBerry
has still not confirmed an exact release date for the
IM service. Is it coming soon? Perhaps. Will it be
here by the end of September? Definitely – at least,
that’s what several sources have told us.
Android users will be required to sign-in with a
BlackBerry account to use the service. Don't have
an existing BlackBerry account? Then you'll
presumably have to register for one.
Not all BBM features will be coming across to iOS
and Android – BlackBerry is keeping some
exclusive to its own handsets. But Android will be a
more feature-rich service, according to BlackBerry,
on account of the platform's more open nature.
Editor's Note: We’ll be updating this story with
more information as it becomes available. Updates
will always appear at the top.
