Samsung Confirms BBM™ on Galaxy Smartphones
Samsung
today confirmed that when BBM™, the mobile social network, launches for Android
smartphones on the 21st September 2013, it will be available as a free download
for Samsung Galaxy smartphones across Africa from the Google Play store.
“We are pleased to officially announce that BBM will be available for Samsung Galaxy smartphones across Africa,” said EmmanouilRevmatas, Director of Hand Held Products, Samsung Electronics West Africa. “We are focused on driving consumer experiences based on customisation to suit every lifestyle. By offering an additional messaging service through our Samsung Messaging Hub, it has never been easier to stay connected. This is another way that we are providing our customers with a more integrated lifestyle experience and a powerful new way of communicating and sharing. It’s really about giving the African market what they want – and what they want is choice.”
Samsung
users will join a vibrant community of 60 million BlackBerry® smartphones
customers who rely on BBM to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues
every day. Samsung GALAXY smartphone users will have access to an extensive
range of BBM features, including BBM chats and multi-person chats with BBM
Groups, as well as the ability to share photos and voice notes. BBM will form
part of Samsung’s Messaging Hub as a complementary addition to the current
slate of propriety and third party messaging services that Samsung customers
enjoy.
"We
are excited to welcome Samsung customers in Africa to the global BBM
community,” said Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President for BBM at
BlackBerry. “Samsung customers will enjoy the conversational immediacy that BBM
offers with the distinctive ‘R’ that lets you know your message has been read.
They'll also be pleased with the control BBM gives them over their contact
lists and how they share their information. Every BBM customer gets a unique
PIN, so you don’t have to give out your phone number or email address to a new
or casual contact."
BBM for
Android can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store on 21st September
2013 and is compatible with GALAXY smartphone devices that run Android 4.0
(Ice-Cream Sandwich) and above. Data
charges may apply, as determined by local operators and service providers.
