Blackberry extends BBM generosity gesture to Windows phone

Are all the recent BBM giveaway gestures from Blackberry to other platforms belated?

Blackberry still in their bid to remain relevant, this time around they are focusing more on software and services other than smartphones which have caused their smartphone market share drop to the lowest level as result of numerous challenges.

One might want to say that the recent giveaway of BBM which was once Blackberry exclusive mobile messaging app to their rivalry platforms is coming quite belated and that failure to make it more global at the onset have been the major reason why BBM is currently lagging behind the likes of Whatsapp and some other similar mobile messaging app.

Though one can still agree that it is better to come late than never, maybe working with this principle, Blackberry is once again extending its BBM giveaway generosity gesture to the 3^rd rivalry major platform. This time around to the Windows mobile platform, coming just after last year same gesture to the Android and Apple platforms.

In their latest statements, Blackberry said that Windows Phone 8 users can now download BBM and have access to features like BBM chats, BBM feeds and group.

The blackberry crews were very thrilled at this recent gesture to the Windows mobile platform, as they see it as part of the ways of expanding its availability and BBM communities.

Currently, BBM is said to have over 85million active users across the globe and Blackberry is still hoping to surpass that number in the near future.
