For Blackberry so love the Android and Apple OS and gave its only begotten son called BBM who's will not perish with the BB10 OS but will have everlasting value in the mobile industry. Blackberry has finally shows. How frustrating there were when samsung and rest denied them of merger or possible assistance even though they are not patient to see how the BB10 will succeed and how good their two flagship Will do......hope they know what its means to loose its only son

Why would anyone want to stick with WhatsApp when there are other free and better options (Line and KakaoTalk) out there? BBM getting on Android and iOS is just trying to grab a piece of the pie out there. I will only use BBM for my contacts sticking with the company and wouldnt want to install either Line or KakaoTalk. Besides that, I will stay away :D
Good strategy for BlackBerry though ;)

Why use this obsolete BBM, when you have WHATSAPP which is top1 multiplaform messenger which much more features. Totally useless news, as you have now better alternatives.

your guys really are short thinking. The quantity of Blackberry device out there are falling so Blackberry plan is to implement BBM in iOS and Android is a good strategy. Why? because Blackberry still alive is just for BBM, so the BBM app will be free for every Android and iOS, this mean that almost 97% of smartphones will be using BBM and in order to use, everyone need to subscribe to a Blackberry services, this will represent a huge extra money for RIM.

Farhank, 14 May 2013wat about symbian belle ? It has at least 5% of market shar... moreNothing for Belle I'm afraid. The operating system is no longer supported by the creators, so no developer is going to support it.
WhatsApp isn't earning much from Symbian. At one poit Symbian was a market leader, that's when WhatsApp developed for it. If WhatsApp was a new service, Symian would not be supported.
