BBM to be released September 21

Finally, BlackBerry announced BBM which will be released to the play store on September 21st, at 7:00AM EST.

That would be 4:30PM of the same day for the Indians out there.

Even though this is a good news for most of us, there will still be lay-offs in December in BlackBerry in most of the Departments of the country.

BBM On Android Leaked!

BBM For Android has leaked. Yes It's authentic and free of virus's. And not one of those fake's hanging out in the PlayStore these past few months.
Although this really is just bloatware for now as you can just Register yourself a BB ID which you would need while actually registering for your BBM.
After registering, it will ask you to login (probably after verification) and then it will stop at "Setting up BBM" See attached Screenshots. The Official release could be as soon as this upcoming Friday!

Feel free to download and install the apk I've shared below!

BBM Communications Director Victoria Berry had this to say on the impending launch:

The excitement around the upcoming BBM launch on iPhone and Android devices seems to know no bounds. Although I’m a big fan of this passion, 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

BlackBerry Messenger on Android

Yes folks! You heard it right!
Earlier morning today in Blackberry's keynote, they announced that BlackBerry Messenger, the company’s popular messaging app, will finally jump to the iPhone and Android this summer. It's something revolutionizing and cross-platform is something BBM was missing since well, forever!

It’ll need Ice Cream Sandwich to be running at the minimum.

“We will make BBM available as the premiere multi-platform IM solution all around the globe” said Thorsten Heins, Blackberry’s CEO, on stage today during the keynote. "Even better, it’s free!"
