Blackberry Messenger Coming To Samsung Phones

While many of us have heard the 'rumor' saying that BBM will be available on Android and iOS and doubted it. Well, i won't blame anyone for doubting it, because this 'rumor' has been around for sometime now. This was doubted probably because the general idea was that blackberry phones use BIS and without BIS you can't make use of BBM, but upon the release of the Blackberry Z10, the first ever blackberry phone (BB10) to operate BBM with regular internet data, it was proven that BBM can indeed work with regular data and BIS is not compulsory.

But anyways! I want to now bring to your notice that this is NOT a rumor! At least, not anymore. Blackberry has decided to take BBM cross-platform to both Android (4.0 and above) and iOS (6.0 and above). But first, BBM will be available for Only Samsung Smartphones and only in Africa to start with, then from there they will expand to other smartphone and other parts of the world and of course to iOS sometime later. Blackberry set the release date as 'Summer 2013', which means that we are expecting BBM on Samsung phones in Africa before August runs out! smiley And as the photo above shows, it is currently being tested. wink And if you have been watching SuperSports then you have seen the Advert.
