BlackBerry Messenger for iOS was released about 3 weeks ago in App Store and was quickly withdrawn due to some functionality issues, with the Canadians working hard to resolve them. In an open letter published yesterday, the CMO BlackBerry, Frank Boulben, stated that 6 million owners of iOS and Android terminals registered during the hours when the applications were available in App Store si Google Play, but also that at the moment the company is trying to bring back the application to everyone.
"Whoever is interested in BlackBerry understands that the company has world class products and services. These are products and services that customers can continue to count on." Boulben said the company already has 6 million Android and iPhone customers pre-registered for the launch of its BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) service. He said he expects the BBM to launch on both those platforms "within days," adding that the company is confident that it fixed issues that arose after the initial cross-platform launch of the messaging service last month.
If we are to believe what the CMO said, then the application should be launched in the following days in the App Store, so theoretically this week we should be able to use it. The BlackBerry Messenger application is expected by extremely many people, it offers the possibility for users of iDevices and Android terminals to communicate with the owners of BlackBerry terminals using a system implemented natively in Canadian terminals.
