MuyiGL:

It's not like PINs are a hardware thing, they're just randomly generated unique identification numbers. So it's not something any other phone can't handle. that being said, you will add users on non-BB phones via email, SMS and NFC. Kanji ko?

bro u gonna generate pins through d phones imei

charlsecy4:
When you download the app and register, you will be issued a PIN....

wrong! !

Android and iOS users would be issued bb id And NOT bb pin. Clear?

This is very interesting ....can't wait to start using it on my phone

Baddestguyp: i get ur point bt smart android users use BIS unlimited on android. Also, wat will happen when Blackberry is auctioned off in november? pls stop claiming team BB and port to android to get a better taste of cool apps

When BB gets auctioned dat means no more bis for d "smart android users"

the advert has been on super sport for sometime now. it flashes after a match break. BBM on samsung soon.

blackberry has lost in the hardware battle, this is their last chance to survive by sharing their software technology.

FineBro: Time to drop my BB.

BBM for Android won't be exclusive to Samsung devices after all

No operator or manufacturer will have exclusive access to the messaging platform when it comes to Android

It seems as though some communication lines may have gotten crossed today when Samsung Mobile Nigeria seemed to imply that it would have a three-month exclusivity on BlackBerry's upcoming launch of BBM on Android. After hearing from an official Samsung Twitter account indicating that this was the case and reaching out to the companies, we've heard back directly from BlackBerry with the following statement:

The tweet, though very exciting, is incorrect ... I want to clarify that no one will have an exclusive on offering BBM. We’ll be bringing the app to Android and iPhone users across the globe soon.

Now this doesn't give us any official confirmation for when exactly we can get our hands on BBM, but it does let us know that no particular operator or manufacturer will have it exclusively locked up.

Emisco1: dnt mis-quote me. Al i was sayin hs/tinkin. Hs in asmuch it gona use d Xtension @apk. It mst in 1 way or d oda b available at playstore. Ok enuf. Da claim it on d 19th. Pway it cmes out 1st. ND GUES WAT. It only available on *gingerbread* Jst ZOKING

Crack is cracking you up..

Cleanman: Here's how the scenario is gonna be my friend...you carry your Htc enter play store,types in BBM.result brings : "app not supported by your device.You vex search bbm for google;download one opeke claimed leaked file,launch package installer...result: please delete app !,Modules not found/supported....

LAST BULLET: STOP BEAFING THE GALAXIES...WAIT FOR YA TIME.

LoL.... Never bought an android,NEVER will!!! I'm an iSheep and I admit it

Recent advancements in technology, especially ICT, has been at a rate that we could never have envisaged, many years ago. It is however sad that Nigeria and the rest of Africa are not catching up with the trend. When are we going to make our own blackberry?

nwanna89: How will we add contacts? Since samsung phones dont have BlackBerry pins...

contacts will be added via barcode, pin or email.

Jadela: What about we Tecno users?

I laugh in China
Na now u no se na china fone u buy...
Sorry go add money and buy samsung galaxy pocket...

I still dey laff for TECHNO . Sorry #teamTechno

BBM for Android and iPhone Wrong Assumptions
What we do know is that BBM will become available for Android devices and iPhone come September, in fact it's in matter of days.


Sequel to this, many wrong assumptions have been made regarding BBM for Android and iPhone and we are here to state the facts and dispel these wrong assumptions.

1. Some folks believe that BBM for Android will be released to Samsung Android devices first and later to other Android smartphones in days to follow. This assumption above is totally false.
BBM for Android will be released to Google Play Store and available for download to all compatible Android devices at the same time.


2. I have also read and heard comments of guys saying BBM will be available for $0.99 at the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This is totally false. No such announcement from BlackBerry.
According to BlackBerry, BBM for Android and iPhone would be available free of charge at the respective app stores.

3. Yet another fallacy is that BBM for Android and iPhone will be available on all types of Android devices and iPhone.
This is not true. It will only be available to Android devices running Android 4.0 and above and iPhone running iOS 6.0 and above. Any Android or iPhone running anything lower is not eligible for BBM.


4. This particular assumption is not cool at all. It was once said that BBM for Android and iPhone will require BIS subscription just like that of BBOS 7. This is not true.
BBM for Android and iPhone will not require BIS subscription. It only require that you have an active Internet access on your device.
This makes sense since BBM for BlackBerry 10 devices don't require a dedicated BIS subscription; just Internet access.


5. Finally, it has being said by some group of people that BBM for Android and iPhone will also be available for Windows Phone like the Nokia Lumia. This is a fallacy and it's totally false.
BlackBerry hasn't said or implied anything to suggest that BBM will also be available to Windows Phone users and do not have any immediate plans to release one after it releases for Android and iOS devices.

In conclusion, it is normal to have assumptions regarding BBM for Android and iPhone, however, there are some assumptions that are clearly wrong. I hope this article will address which wrong assumptions you might have conceived.

In matter of days, BBM will launch for these two most popular mobile operating system, Android and iOS, and will can start using it.
Already, an event has been slated for Wednesday 18th 2013 by BlackBerry which only means that BBM for Android and iPhone is closer to release than ever considering the leaked BBM apk hours ago.

Acidosis:

There is no word in that..

Do you know most BB users do not use up to N400 worth of their monthly N1400 subscription?

BB is just a compressed tool, just like Opera mini..

How do I know?

I subscribe N1200/N1400 monthly airtel on android.. It works well and most times, I hardly use 700MB out of 1000MB given before expiration even though android consume data + my constant downloading and 'youtubing'.

The last BIS on my android is even worse.. 4GB for 2months!
I've done everything I could do with the data..
I even used the sim on a Modem, downloaded a software of 663MB (MS Office 2013), yet I still have 2.2GB left.. and the expiration date is near (on Monday).

What am I trying to say?

A N1200 BIS on a Blackberry device is a complete rip off in disguise.. (LOL to think this sh¡t was formerly N3000 sef).
Some of you only use 1/10 of the given data in a month..

There is nothing to rejoice over for a N1200 BIS..
Its practically useless on a phone that runs in Kilobytes, bytes and bits..

True talk. U ar absolutely right

spicyp: Am kinda confused,is it that bbm wll only be available on samsung galaxy?what about oda andriod phnes lyk tecno,xperia and d rest of em?

Same question begging for answer in my mind.

cjudy: all this Samsung galaxy owner una own too much for this house.... Wetin una Samsung galaxy dey do wey my HTC sensation no fit do? all android os and iOS is what RIM are releasing their product to not a particular device. Except Google play store and Apple store will not have then tell me where u are going to download ur own. I hate all this rubbish.......

Samsung has its own app store remember .

peterjero:
Samsung has its own app store remember .

the blackberry management itself that is releasing the app has confirmed that there won't be any exclusive release and that the self aclaimed info by samsung is wrong so what are u still saying?

toluxa1: [size=14pt]Its not just samsung, according to ng.blackberry.com/bbm.html and a few other credible sources it will be available on Android and iOs before the end of this Month.[/size]
