BlackBerry Suspends BBM for Androids Until Further Notice

Prior to launching BBM for Android, an unreleased version of the
BBM for Android app was posted online. The interest and
enthusiasm we have seen already – more than 1.1 million active
users in the first 8 hours without even launching the official
Android app – is incredible. Consequently, this unreleased version
caused issues, which we have attempted to address throughout the day.

Our teams continue to work around the clock to bring BBM to
Android and iPhone, but only when it’s ready and we know it will
live up to your expectations of BBM. We are pausing the global
roll-out of BBM for Android and iPhone. Customers who have
already downloaded BBM for iPhone will be able to continue to use
BBM. The unreleased Android app will be disabled, and customers
who downloaded it should visit www.BBM.com to register for
updates on official BBM for Android availability.
As soon as we are able, we will begin a staggered country roll-out
of BBM for Android and continue the roll-out of BBM for iPhone.
Please follow @BBM on Twitter for the latest updates and go to
www.BBM.com to sign-up for updates about BBM for Android and
iPhone. These issues have not impacted BBM service for
BlackBerry.
