BlackBerry has announced that it added over 20 million new
BBM users during the first week of the official launch of its Android and
iPhone apps.
I have joined the list, even though I have not been able to
log in. I can’t seem to remember the email and password I used to register my
Blackberry. That’s the trouble with
having several email accounts.
Consequently, I can’t share any experience as to how good or
bad it is, or whether it’s worth your time to get it too.
But judging by the way people are rushing the app, it must
be working well. According to the information the company release, 10 million
users downloaded the app in the first day. There are now over 80 million users
of the company’s OTT platform.
BBM was the top free overall app in 35 countries in Google Play and in 107 countries in the App Store, and continues to maintain a strong position in key markets such as Canada, the US, the UK, Indonesia and much of the Middle East, the company says.
In addition, this past weekend, BlackBerry was able to remove the waiting list so that Android and iPhone users can now immediately download, sign in and start using BBM without having to wait.
In the coming months, BlackBerry will deliver BBM Video
calling, BBM Voice calling and BBM Channels - a new community building service
to connect BBM users even more broadly - to Android and iPhone users.
