BBM launches for Android and iOS
BlackBerry finally launched BBM on Android and iOS today.
Over 5 million users had already downloaded the app. As of writing, BBM is the top free download in the App Store. The demand is there, but the future is not.
Nexus 4 is the newest smartphone from Google
With cutting edge hardware, the latest version of Android, and the best Google apps -- Nexus 4 puts the world's information at your fingertips.
I really enjoy the feel of the phone after putting a slim case on it. The size is nice and large, but not obnoxious like the Note. The buttons are slim but easy to find and push. Wifi and bluetooth turn on and activate swiftly. One other gripe is that the front surrounding edge seems to bed soft. After some light drops and falls, the chrome corners seem to dent and chips easily. The phone has a nice weight but the finish detracts from that.

BBM on iPhone
A lot of people want BBM because they have friends that still are on BLACKBERRY. Those people that still have blackberries will jump to iOs or Android once BBM for these platforms comes out. But once they all switch, BBM is not needed any more.
The reason why BlackBerry has done poorly with its mobile division is due to bad or insufficient marketing.
They would have been better of changing their brand name entirely, so that people wouldn't continue to associate them with the "old" and therefore perceived to be "outdated" and no longer "cutting edge" keyboard phones.
The execution of introducing their new phones was untimely (after-holiday season), delayed (took a long time to hit the market after being announced), and unprepared (BB10's preliminary glitches, over complicated gestures and lack of apps; the latter of which they could have stocked up on during their hey days).
