BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is now available for Android smartphones which are running on Gingerbread, True their promise, BlackBerry has just made its messaging, and now voice call, app available to more Android users.
However, from the time of release until now, BBM for Android has been available only on Android 4.0+ devices and with Android Gingerbread 2.3 still accounting for 20% of Android users, a lot of people were left without access to BBM. BlackBeery had stated that they were working hard to bring BBM for Gingerbread users and they have lived up to their word.
For BlackBerry it is a smart move to try and expand its user base on Android by offering the BBM app to more Android users. BBM app for Android and iOS saw over 20 million new users within the first week of its launch.
Some of the features that the users of Android 2.3 Gingerbread will not be able to use includes – BBM’s Voice Call, Live location tracking on Map and BBM Channels. There is no word on whether these features will be addressed in the coming version or not, but we sure do hope they will instate the features.
