If you own a Samsung Galaxy phone, especially the S4 and you reside in Africa and thinking of getting the Blackberry because of the BB Messenger, don't bother, as very sooner you will be able to use that same feature on your Galaxy phone.
BlackBerry
Messenger for Android is coming to Samsung Galaxy phones first -- if
you're in Africa.
Samsung
Africa spilled the beans, revealing that the new BlackBerry Messenger
app will become part of the Samsung Messenger Hub.
The
BBM app will be available "soon" for Galaxy phones such as
the Samsung Galaxy S4 across Africa, for free from the
Google Play Store or Samsung’s own app store.
The
app will include BBM chats and Groups of up to 30 people.
BlackBerry
is yet to confirm when the chat app will be available to other
devices and other parts of the world. The UK is one of the places
where BlackBerry and BBM have traditionally had a large following --
business users loving the security and business features, teenagers
loving the free messaging in BBM -- but that following has dwindled
in recent years with the arrival of the sexier iPhone and affordable
Android phones.
The BBM
Android app is currently being tested by BlackBerry employees and
their friends and family, with the iPhone app still under wraps at
BBHQ.
Got this from a trusted friend late last night working in one of the biggest IT companies in the world.
