[UPDATE: Not only has the tweet from T-Mobile UK been removed, but BusinessInsider is claiming that the June 27th date is false. ]
[UPDATE 2: BlackBerry has confirmed to TheNextWeb that BBM will not be launching for iOS or Android on June 27th]
iOS and Android users are in for a treat later this month. Those who have been longing for BBM to finds its way to the world’s two most popular mobile operating systems will soon have their wishes granted on June 27th.
T-Mobile UK tweeted the following earlier this morning:
Great news – BlackBerry Messenger will be available to download on iOS and Android from June 27th! 🙂 #BBM twitter.com/TMobileUK/stat…
— T-MOBILE UK (@TMobileUK) June 6, 2013
Not only was the T-Mobile UK Twitter account nice enough to show off the Samsung Galaxy S III running BBM, but also announcing the June 27th release date. We knew it was going to be happening soon, but at least people who are excited about using the service on iOS or Android can start their countdowns.
Many people have been wanting BlackBerry’s messaging service to become available on more platforms, but it still remains to be seen as to how well BBM will do when it debuts. Whenever Google Hangouts receives SMS integration, BBM may end up being too little, way too late.
What do you think? Are you excited for BBM on Android and iOS?
