The BlackBerry news just keeps coming. The latest thing to hit my desk is the news that LG is going to ship phones with BBM pre-installed on them:
“BBM is widely used throughout the Middle East, Africa and Indonesia where smartphone users tend to engage heavily in social networking,” said Kevin Shin, Vice President of Marketing for Asia, the Middle East and CIS countries of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The LG G Pro Lite offers an optimized BBM experience with its large, high quality display and embedded Stylus Pen.”
“People across the globe are using BBM to connect with each other and the enthusiasm has been phenomenal,” said Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry. “We’re extremely pleased that LG Electronics will help bring their customers a more seamless experience with BBM by preloading the app, starting with the G Pro Lite in key markets.”
It seems that the release of BBM on Android and iOS may be paying dividends for the company. This might open up the door to future agreements with other mobile phone companies. That in turn may create a new revenue stream from BlackBerry. Hopefully the company speaks to this when their numbers come out later this week.
