On August 29 Blackberry put up a landing page for BBM on iPhone and Android, which was quickly taken down. It was then replaced by a “Coming Soon” page which can still be found here.
Earlier this year Blackberry announced that BBM would be coming to iPhone and Android ‘Summer 2013’. At first the rumoured date for the release was June 27, which was then quickly dismissed.
Months have now passed and we have yet to see BBM on iPhone or Android. Summer is almost over and we have no official release date yet. The wait is on for Blackberry Messenger fans — when will we see BBM for iPhone and Android and how will it compare to existing solutions like Hangouts or iMessage?

Is anybody looking forward to this? Really? What’s the point these days… BB is a sinking ship, and releasing BBM on other platforms will only accelerate the death of their hardware business.
