For those of you who think the BB is old news and it’s time for a change, but you don’t want to lose all your BB contacts. Then here is a reason to smile. You will be happy to know that now you can get BBM on android and iPhones.

BBM will be available as a free download in Google Play™ and the App StoreSM and you will be able to download BBM by visiting www.BBM.com from your smartphone browser. “With more than a billion Android, iOS, and BlackBerry smartphones in the market, and no dominant mobile messaging platform, this is absolutely the right time to bring BBM to Android and iPhone customers.” Says Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry.

BBM will be available as a free download for Android smartphones running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean (Android 4.x). BBM for iPhones running iOS 6 and iOS 7 will become available for each market on the App Store. For more information, or to download BBM for Android or iPhone, visit www.BBM.com

Later this year look out for BBM Channels that will provide a forum for active, real conversations between you and the people, brands, celebrities, artists, service providers, communities and more, that matter to you. By creating a Channel, individuals and brands can engage their friends and communities in conversations sparked by their thoughts, ideas and passions. Subscribing to a Channel will let you join conversations with people who share your interests. In addition, BBM Video calling and BBM Voice calling are planned for availability for Android and iPhone in a future version.
