BlackBerry has suspends its plans to make
available its messenger, BBM on Android and
iPhones until further notice due to high
downloads of the unofficial version of the app by
Android users.
BlackBerry in a statement on its official blog.
Prior to launching BBM for Android, an
unreleased version of the BBM for Android app
was posted online. The interest and enthusiasm
we have seen already – more than 1.1 million
active users in the first 8 hours without even
launching the official Android app – is incredible.
Consequently, this unreleased version caused
issues, which we have attempted to address
throughout the day.
Our teams continue to work around the clock to
bring BBM to Android and iPhone, but only when
it’s ready and we know it will live up to your
expectations of BBM. We are pausing the global
roll-out of BBM for Android and iPhone.
Customers who have already downloaded BBM
for iPhone will be able to continue to use BBM.
The unreleased Android app will be disabled, and
customers who downloaded it should visit
www.BBM.com to register for updates on official
BBM for Android availability.
As soon as we are able, we will begin a staggered
country roll-out of BBM for Android and continue
the roll-out of BBM for iPhone. Please follow
@BBM on Twitter for the latest updates and go to
www.BBM.com to sign-up for updates about BBM
for Android and iPhone. These issues have not
impacted

If android OS were to have a BBM platform, it wont provoke as much interest.
