“This collaboration is good news for customers,”
saidChowdhury. “It is our objective, not only for
Nigerians, but for Africans as a whole, to acquire
smartphones and enjoy a smart life and to be able
to use the phone to its maximum benefit, and that
is why we are working with BlackBerry to preload
BBM on all new TECNO smartphones.

technology smartphone will come preloaded with
BBM,” added Chowdhury.
Android customers can enjoy the rich features of
BBM that include:
· BBM Chat – Enjoy real, immediate
conversations with friends on Android,
iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones. Not
only does BBM let you know that your
message has been delivered and read, it
also shows you that your friend is
responding to the message.
· More than chat – With BBM you can
share files on your phone such as photos
and voice notes, all in an instant.
· Keep your group in the loop – Multi-
person chats are a great way to invite
contacts to chat together. BBM Groups
lets you invite up to 30 friends to chat
together, and go a step further than
multi-chat by sharing photos and
schedules. And, with Broadcast Message,
you can send a message out to all your
BBM contacts at once.
· Post Updates and stay in the know –
BBM lets you post a personal message,
profile picture and your current status,
and lets your contacts know instantly in
Updates.
· Your unique PIN – Every BBM user has
a unique PIN that maintains your privacy,
so you don’t have to give out your phone
number or email address to a new or
casual contact.
Executive Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry
Mr. Andrew Bocking said, “BBM continues to grow
in popularity and as the recent launch on Android
and iOS suggests, BBM is the ‘must have’ app for
active conversations. While we continue to evolve
BBM with more features and functionality, we are
excited to work with OEMs like TECNO to preinstall
BBM, giving their smartphone customers in Africa
quick and easy access to the service right out of
the box.”
