Yesterday, the 16th of September, there was a leak of the BBM for Android. The leak contained screen shots of the app and links to the application's apk download page.
But before I could lay my hands on the apk, it had already been taken down by Blackberry.
I know they've got reasons for doing that, though I wonder how the leak came out.
The leak was on the XDA developers forum which provided a download link to Media Fire. Like I said before, the file has been taken down.
I did some research later on and accidentally stumbled on a site with an active download link.
Well, just in case you want to see what the BBM app looks like, I have a provided a link below this post which has the BBM apk download embedded within.
You might want to note two things though:
1) The application is pretty much useless and I think it's because Blackberry has not officially launched it. They might need to fire up their Blackberry servers to support Android devices or other technical stuffs dey need to do.
2) The application might not work on an Android OS below Ice Cream Sandwich. So if you own a device with Honeycomb OS or lower, you might as well not bother wasting your precious data to download the apk file.
Okay, so here is the link if you still want to download it and, remember it's really not useful until Blackberry fires up her full support for BBM for Android.
Download the BBM for Android apk here.

*UPDATE*
THE LINK ABOVE HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN AS A RESULT OF EXCESSIVE TRAFFIC... THERE IS A NEW LINK THOUGH IN THE POST Working BBM For Android With Download Link
