JUMP FOR JOY: BBM for Android finally here today

                                         

BBM for Android will finally be available later today, BlackBerry announced in a blog post.

Only that things aren’t quite that simple.

BlackBerry is going to release it in Google Play and in Samsung’s own app store in a few select locations. If you’ve already registered with BlackBerry somehow, you’ll be good to go and BBM should work. If you’ve yet to sign up, you’ll be able to today — and you’ll be placed in waiting list (Face palm) . No telling how long that list will be.

The official word looks like this:

The demand for BBM on Android and BBM on iPhone continues to be amazing. About six million people signed up for information about BBM at BBM.com. As you know, in just seven hours, about one million Android users were using the unreleased version of BBM for Android. What you don’t know is that more than one million people have found creative ways to “side load” BBM on their iPhone. This is incredible.
