BBM For Android Expected On 27 June
Much awaited BBM aka Blackberry Messenger for Android is expected to be available for download from Google Play store on June 27th. It'd be the first time that the BBM service will be available outside of the Blackberry's own devices. When Blackberry announced that they're looking to cross-port the app on iOS and Android, many users were taken aback with surprised. So far Blackberry has relied on the app as its USP for BB devices.
Minimum OS requirements for BBM for Android will be Android 4 and iOS 6. We're not sure if blackberry will make all the BBM features available on android and ios but we'd expect it to.
How many BB users on CE would want to use BBM over WhatsApp?

Nayan GoenkaLet us try and find out. A week more to go. Interesting that BBM coming in cross platform MAY or MAY NOT compete the existing messengers.

Anoop KumarBBM still not available for download and beware of fake articles and apps on play store.
Original one should be listed with Android Apps by BlackBerry Limited on Google Play
and download link should be given here #-Link-Snipped-#.
Check out CNET fake article which is saying it is now available for download and there is no official link #-Link-Snipped-#
Didn't expected this from CNET 😯 -

Except privacy I don't think it can offer better thing.Kaustubh KatdareSomeone inform me - what does BBM offer that's not offered by existing messengers?
I just got hands on BBM #-Link-Snipped-#, looks totally authentic to me.
I don't know why people don't use Google Hangout, only bad feature in new hangout is you can't able to see who is online.
So far BBM review:
Pros:
Privacy. You can just add anyone by PIN without exposing your phone number and other info.
Cons:
Design to bulky only 4 chat box can be viewed in window.
So far only picture share and voice note (record a voice and send upto 2 min) available.
No sign out option 😲, once skype does this there ware huge outrage that they added it. 😁
BB should know they are rolling out for Android not for people who just use their phone to showoff, mail and calls. -
Kaustubh KatdareUpdate: This is going to take even longer as Blackberry's halted the release, for unknown reasons. I think it's game over for Blackberry already.

Anoop KumarAccording to#-Link-Snipped-# They can't able to tackle situation with just 1.1 million early bird users.
