BlackBerry finally announces new BBM launch details for Android and iPhone

BBM iPhone DownloadIn the middle of this year, RIM announced the launching  of BBM on android phones, however, the rollout didn’t continue as planned due to a leakage in the app.

UPDATE: BBM is now available to download on both platforms. Here is a link to the iPhone version in Apple’s iOS App Store, and here is a link to the Android version in Google Play.
BlackBerry on Monday announced new launch details for its soon-to-be cross-platform messaging service for the iPhone and Android. Basically, users will be able to download the apps starting Monday but they won’t be able to use the service right away. Instead, users enter a queue and will be able to begin using the app once BlackBerry adds them to the service.
Here’s what to do, according to BlackBerry’s blog post:
  1. Download BBM – the easiest way is to visit BBM.com from your Android or iPhone browser
  2. Once you install the app, open it, and enter your email address to hold your spot in line
  3. We will email you as soon as you reach the front of the line and can start using BBM
BlackBerry Messenger pioneered a new type of mobile messaging service that countless other companies have copied over the years. Unfortunately for BlackBerry, several of those copycats grew to become cross-platform messaging behemoths that may have doomed the company’s new BBM app for Android and the iPhone before it even got off the ground.
Then again, perhaps nostalgia will win over the hearts and thumbs of legions of former BlackBerry users and spur a wave of adoption that makes BBM a real contender.
Both new versions of BBM are completely free.
