I don't understand why so many companies favor iOS (Apple) vs Android. Plants VS Zombies 2 was released months ago on iOS. On Facebook, the Feelings tab showed first on iOS before Android. Now BlackBerry Messenger is available on iOS but not on Android.

I have a friend who switched from his iPhone 4 to SGS4 and he said he is thinking of switching back to iOS next time he buys a phone because of these ridiculous delays. I know what he said was ridiculous as well, but I can't help but feel frustrated at those companies and their politics. It's ridiculous.

Been reading various articles from around the web and BBM has def been halted for android for now.

Massive shame to us android users who favour BBM as a means to communicate. I personally enjoyed the app getting to know various members from XDA.

IOS does seem to reign in when it comes to the latest releases from much anticipated companies/developers.

Money may play a big part in the interaction but other factors also take part such as security of platforms.

IOS is fairly secure and Apple are probably strict with what goes into their infrastructure from podcasts down to the worst app ever made.

As much as we all love Android and the open source nature to do what we want when we want within our means and knowledge it brings a sense insecurity and can exploit many flaws and rogue elements the original dev may have ovelooked.

In a sense Blackberry have made the right decision by halting BBM for us just to ensure the leaks werent in any way buggy or flawed in terms of security and data privacy.

On the other hand

Im not too happy about the halt andbthey should have addressed any issues sooner rather than on release day. Numptys no wonder the company is going down the pan.

Only thing i like about RIM is their BBM app.

Rant over. Please dont pick me up on what i have written if you dont like it dont complain to me thats what agony aunts are for.

[General Topics] chickentuna:
Rim is definitely not ready for the release. 1.1 million users is just a drop of water into the ocean for Android. Android has 1.5 million activations everyday. My 2 cents? Their server cannot handle the load. People are using the leaked app weeks ahead of the launch why not shut it down before the launch date if the leaked app was causing issues?

Honestly this is what I've expected from a company that's about to go down. BBM is great but in my opinion RIM is just milking what is left on the company hence BBM4ALL was born.

BBM was great and all, I had good memories with it but it's time for me to move on and bury BBM to the ground. I'll just stick with whatsapp or viber

That was weird

[General Topics] bogdan1234:
I don't think you know how applications work and what might be the differences between a testing version and a final version. Due to the fact that the servers were overloaded with 1.1M using that release doesn't mean it would've been the same case with the final product.
[General Topics] marc_ecko28:
So you believe that alibi huh?

In the first place where do you think those unreleased version came from? Ofcourse from blackberry... before that working apk was leaked, there is a leaked version that stuck in setting up bbm with around 13mb file size and the unreleased working version in around 14mb.

They are responsible in everything they do so they must be ready for any situation.. besides they are not a small company. Although they are struggling still blackberry is multinational brand.

Theh are claiming that unreleased android apk is the problem so why they dont anticipate it in the first place. They are not dealing now with just blackberry users... ios and android have billions of users around the world, they knew it...

I think thats the reason why blackberry is going down, they have plan A and forget about plan B C etc...

I guess they did this for a reason and that is to make blackberry look relevant for ios and android.

And they failed...

Is the Smaboy one a joke? Because I actually installed it before and filled the entries and everything and tried to register. I'm now scared my information has been stolen. I have never used BBM before so I didn't know it didn't look like that. I knew the service was stopped but tried to register, just in case RIM activated it again without telling people or something.
[General Topics] chickentuna:
I may not know how applications work but it doesn't take a genius to figure out what went wrong.

[General Topics] teetu:

[General Topics] iamsloany:
It should still be vaild if Blackberry get their act together and keep their servers paid and running then BBM id's will be fine thats unless they pull the plug on the whole company which seems like the direction they are headed. But in fairness as a failing company they are trying to stay in business with a multi platform release of their most popular app BBM bit of a shame they couldnt even get that done right.

Irrelivant of 1.1 million activations through a leaked BBM app they still cocked it up by pulling the plug. Seriously what are they doing there is money and business in what they planned to do but decided to go backwards in an age when we are flying foward.

[General Topics] iamsloany:
So it turns out BBM for android has gone to beta testers yet again if no-one has heard about it yet. Official press from Blackberry stated no eta on the app hut BBM for Android is a definite go ahead. Most prob be paid for app after the shambles of a so called release date. The 1 million + users that installed their "non official leaked app" has probably put dollar signs in their eyes.

I used the leaked apk before and I signed up for a BBID before this so what am I doing wrong?

BB id is different with the line registration email. Even you have bb id but didn't put your email on waiting list on bbm.com before you still have to wait until you got invitation..

If you got server error maybe because you bounce back from the server, try force stop the app and try again and again and again :D
