Samsung Confirms BBM™ on Galaxy Smartphones

Samsung today confirmed that when BBM™, the mobile social network, launches for Android smartphones on the 21st September 2013, it will be available as a free download for Samsung Galaxy smartphones across Africa from the Google Play store.
“We are pleased to officially announce that BBM will be available for Samsung Galaxy smartphones across Africa,” said EmmanouilRevmatas, Director of Hand Held Products, Samsung Electronics West Africa. “We are focused on driving consumer experiences based on customisation to suit every lifestyle. By offering an additional messaging service through our Samsung Messaging Hub, it has never been easier to stay connected. This is another way that we are providing our customers with a more integrated lifestyle experience and a powerful new way of communicating and sharing. It’s really about giving the African market what they want – and what they want is choice.”



Samsung users will join a vibrant community of 60 million BlackBerry® smartphones customers who rely on BBM to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues every day. Samsung GALAXY smartphone users will have access to an extensive range of BBM features, including BBM chats and multi-person chats with BBM Groups, as well as the ability to share photos and voice notes. BBM will form part of Samsung’s Messaging Hub as a complementary addition to the current slate of propriety and third party messaging services that Samsung customers enjoy.



"We are excited to welcome Samsung customers in Africa to the global BBM community,” said Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry. “Samsung customers will enjoy the conversational immediacy that BBM offers with the distinctive ‘R’ that lets you know your message has been read. They'll also be pleased with the control BBM gives them over their contact lists and how they share their information. Every BBM customer gets a unique PIN, so you don’t have to give out your phone number or email address to a new or casual contact."



BBM for Android can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store on 21st September 2013 and is compatible with GALAXY smartphone devices that run Android 4.0 (Ice-Cream Sandwich) and above.  Data charges may apply, as determined by local operators and service providers.



To download BBM or more information, please visit www.BBM.com

For those of you complaining about BIS,ba3 durability,hanging shits,bb palava n d likes...either u stop using bb or y'all shud get a good one from a reliable/ reputable source.

    ppl do not be so quick to call this the fall of blackberry, this opens a wider market for blackberry and trust me Blackberry solely has the RIM server..which guarantees instant drop mails and reduce file size transfer.

    Good thing to hear that BBM is coming to samsung, but the bad thin is that some will still rush in and rush out, cause data worth N1500 wud not last a month on android phones like BB will, ull need at least N4k data, to leave ur data ON 24/7 so as to always receive pings and all

    People hold your BB strong oh!!! I have an android galaxy s2, I still bought a new BB yesterday. You might not enjoy the andriod Os and to subscribe is expensive compared to BB. BIS is still unlimited in mtn. Trust me being limited with your mb is really annoying.before u download anything u will be scared because you don't want to exhaust your data plan. Even instagram sucks mb like mad.don't rush and get rid of your BB. Its a bad idea.Nigerian network providers takes advantage of everything.the bundles they provide are insufficient and very expensive.you will end up buying an expensive andriod phone and still have to subscribe for their ridiculous bundles. Be smart. Only go for an andriod device if you have extra cash to spare and to keep the phone functional. Am speaking from experience.STAY WITH BLACKBERRY!!!!!!!!
