The official BBM for Android is now working but unfortunately is not yet available on the Google Play Store. <br /> A number of links gave been springing up here and there but I noticed that most of them have been taken down due to excessive traffic from anxious Android users. <br /> Some links are still up and running, though I just have one right now and I've decided to share it with you. <br /> If you are anxious to download the app on your device, here's a link to <a href="http://www59.zippyshare.com/d/78359943/900/ASMARgeorgesBBM-Beta.apk" target="_blank">download the BBM for Android apk</a> (thanks to folks at www.ginosblog.com). <br /> The Blackberry Messenger app <b>only supports Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean OS</b> and is about 14.1MB in size. <br /> Happy Pinging To All Android Users! :). And DON'T FORGET to SHARE with your friends.<br /> <br /> <h3> <u><b>Update:</b></u></h3> I know the rollout for BBM on Android and iOS has begun again. Thing is there are so many people who need the link to download the app.<br /> If you are one of those people, here is the link to <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bbm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">link to download the app</a> for your Android device from Google Playstore. If you'd want to have the apk file instead, you can <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/eudib7o64yt81ml/com.bbm_70.apk?m" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">download it from my dropbox account</a>. Happy pinging once again!!!<br /> <br /> <br />P.S: The app only works for devices running ICS 4.0 or higher

The leak contained screen shots of the app and links to the application's apk download page. <br> But before I could lay my hands on the apk, it had already been taken down by Blackberry. </p> <p>I know they've got reasons for doing that, though I wonder how the leak came out. </p> <p>The leak was on the <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446528">XDA developers</a> forum which provided a download link to <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download/fo8sdg8axt3a5oq/com.bbm.apk">Media Fire</a>. Like I said before, the file has been taken down. </p> <p>I did some research later on and accidentally stumbled on a site with an active download link. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>You might want to note two things though:</p> <p>1) The application is <b><i>pretty much useless</i></b> 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. </p> <p>2) The application <b>might not work</b> 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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p><a href="https://www.cubby.com/pl/com.bbm.android.apk/_f55fa7e6f76249ee8f8762e7082c5e9d">Download the BBM for Android apk here.</a></p> <p>Source: <a href="http://android.sc/bbm-for-android-apk-app-now-free-download/"><u>Android.sc</u></a></p> <p>*UPDATE*<br> THE LINK ABOVE HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN AS A RESULT OF EXCESSIVE TRAFFIC...
