All the Apple and Android lovers here already know that Blackberry (or some know it by the name Research In Motion ) has announced its USP functionality application BBM going multi-platform(platforms listed above !). This filled the air with excitement although all the platforms are flooded with connecting apps like Whatsapp, ebuddy XMS, Skype etc but still Blackery's BBM is the thing stand out from crowd as it combines them all in a neat environment (So why to keep three if one serves it all !)

Even during the launch and after that also the company was mum in sharing the exact or probable release date which has hung up the things in air . But the there were recent rumors(especially by T-Mobile UK) of release date to be 24th or 27th June ,sorry to inform you all but as i said above its a rumor so here's the Blackberry's Official statement on the matter

"On May 14th, BlackBerry announced plans to make its ground-breaking mobile social network, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), available to iOS and Android users this summer, subject to approval by the Apple App Store and Google Play.  While there have been reports that BBM will be available to iOS and Android on June 27th, this is not accurate. We will communicate an update as soon as we have an availability date to share."

So all the rumors rest here
