BBM to Come Preinstalled on Some Android Phones

After BlackBerry's announcement that BBM will soon be available on iOS and Android devices on June 27, news has it that Blackberry's highly popular BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) will be available in some Android smartphones out of the box. "There is interest from other handset makers" says BlackBerry COO Kristian Tear, but he didn’t say which ones. Apple and Samsung may be hard to convince to have the BBM built in as the former has its iMessage while the latter has its ChatOn.

Despite the fact that BBM is losing its popularity, it's still being used by about 50 million users for an average of 90 minutes a day. This means that most people who have BBM use it heavily. However, Android and iOS users won't get the full BlackBerry Messenger experience. There will be chats (including multi-user chats), Groups and voice notes. Voice and video calls, channels plus screen sharing are expected to be added later on.
