Blackberry released its messenger (BBM) to both the Android and IOS platform some months back and honestly peoples respond to using the app was a success much beyond the expectation of many. But the late arrival of this app to the cross mobile platform still gives it a hill to climb as other competitors such as Whatsapp,LINE, Viber and the rest already have a head lead of many years.
But apparently Blackberry is trying to cover up that gap with their recent deal with several Android manufacturers. The company announced the it has managed to partner with several Android manufactures to have the BBM app pre-installed in their mobile devices. The company announced in a press conference that major Android manufactures in Africa, India, Indonesia, Latin America and the Middle East region, with names that some of you guys may or may not be familiar with such as, Be, Brightstar, Celkon, EVERCOSS, IMO, Micromax, Mito, Snexian, Spice, TECNO, TiPhone and Zen. This is basically just their first step to bring thier app more into the spot light on the android platform, its expected that sooner or later they will take a bolder step in partnering with other bigger manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG, and Sony.
