abeg tecno is d movement going for mah M3 tonyt.BB and dia yeye ba3 i think dats part of dia downfall also.

So I might have no option 2 finally get an andriod fone......d BBM 4 blackberry tire me sef cos of so much fake friends

Making BBM available 2 android fones is d biggest mistake BB company will/have made...... Dey have jux killed d little market dey have now! Their best feature is wat dey sold out........SMH......... Na to change 2 android fone b d way now.

Pinging for all.

For sometimes now, I have abandoned my BB for Android phone.

I have peace using my Android.

UP Android.

Tђε̲̣ major downfall I saw with  ℓƧ that they were blinded by d maket share bbm brought dem and never found reason 2 improve features on other models of  they produced. It not over for dem sha. (#teambb til I use ♍ÿ̲ last card comot d fone body)

Blackberry went black and whites boycotted it. They have the purchasing power and they decided to kill it. its their world.

Android Ruling now, i was wondering what made 1.1 Million People Download the leaked APP in just less that 48 Hours, so what if its left for a while... Na Message for RIM, BB Family, Dreaded Fans, and Cant Do Without Folks...

Mr OP you had a nice article so far, till you touted tecno as a major player in the smartphone game..

Team#andriod#...like if u belong

Everything has its time.BB has gone already!!!

The threader was right, they never worked on varieties.., they push up their brand name only forgetting the product itself. So their customers only bought and paid for brand BB.. And not the satisfaction.. The only reason I am still using a bb now is the cheaper Internet Access rate. BIS is still making sense, and I'm sure will make more sense sooner.

just watched on CNN as it is a topical news. Am sorry BB

Blackberry sold its birthright and that's exactly what happened because the world was waiting and can you imagine 1.1millie download and 80% of this downloads are from samsung and Iphone only,if ur uniqueness is gone,then ur just an empty vessel. Greatest mistake

Its difficult for BB to survive the android evolution, even Apple iOS may not survive Android evolution.

BBM is the best and most secure messaging platform and for BB to make it cross platform is ther worst mistake and the best thing to happen to humanity.

I gave out my Z10 after just 1 month of purchase and am glued to Galaxy range of products for effectiveness and efficiency but I also go around with iPhone not for anything but to show am rich.

BlackBerry problem was they failed with the transition from Corporate customers to the mass market. They saw the mass market as an opportunity but could not keep up with the innovation. Stick to your core business and don't try to please everyone no matter what.

They should have stuck to their enterprise solutions model. They were enticed by the consumer market forgetting that consumers are very fickle and would always want new things unless you can re-invent the wheel like apple and Samsung are currently doing. The consequence - they got burnt!

I advice they drop their BB10 OS and adopt Android as OS.

Saturday was a great day but they killed it all and RIM said the Android version of the hyped BBM was leaked after which it has to be suspended. Thats an indication that people only want the BBM PIN and nothing else.

who cares about BB anyway...? Let us have your BBM asap otherwise we'll continue the fun on whatsapp only.

thats the point @life style.....there more to BB other than d BBM......for me ,the fone is being under-utilized...

Even if they stayed with only Corporate clients, do you think other phones would not have attacked that market too. The Corporate/Retail market are no longer separate in phones. Many companies now give out iphones and samsung to their staff so BB was always going to be in trouble. They just failed to be innovated.

BBM on Android or not... Nt parting with my BB cos of moderate data consumption rate... Can u manage 500mb of data on android without downloads for a mnth? We all know the ansa.

Nothing much,

BB's Ogas at the top (tecno, samsung, htc, ipone et.c)

came around,

and swept it off its feet!

SHIKENA!

Now that Blackberry is gone I hope the prices of Android and iPhone will not skyrocket.

Blackberry company is critically endangered

Focus is key. If they stayed their research and future innovation would be more directed at their corporate clients. The company have realised this issue and have announced they are leaving the mass consumer market. There are companies that focus on corporate environment cos it requires different mindset and objectives.

please can someone show me how to gt bbm on android? couldn't find it on playstore
