[News] Fast Uptake of BBM from Android and iOS Users

In just 24 hours BBM has been downloaded over 10
million times by Android and iPhone users, one of the best
single-day openings for a mobile app to date. BBM, the premier private
social network from BlackBerry, is available
for free in the App Store and Google Play for immediate download.

BBM also quickly rose through the rankings on the App Store to be the
number one free app in more than 75 countries in the first 24 hours,
including the US, Canada, the UK, Indonesia and most of the Middle
East. User ratings in both the App Store and Google Play are
overwhelmingly positive, earning BBM 60,000 five-star reviews on
Google Play from about 87,000 reviews.

“This has been an incredible launch for BBM across Android and iPhone
devices. The mobile messaging market is full of opportunity for BBM.
We intend to be the leading private social network for everyone who
needs the immediate communication and collaboration of instant
messaging combined with the privacy, control and reliability delivered
through BBM,” said Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President, BBM at
BlackBerry.
