It looks like iOS and Android won't be able to download BlackBerry Messenger come June 27 after all.
Earlier on Thursday, T-Mobile U.K. tweeted that BBM would indeed be available for iOS and Android come June 27, even serving up an image of a BBM conversation running on a Samsung Android phone.
However, that tweet has since been taken down, calling into question the accuracy of the information.
And a BlackBerry spokeswoman told CNET: "That date is completely inaccurate; we have never indicated a specific date."
If the information was inaccurate, why would T-Mobile U.K. tweet it in the first place? Well, T-Mobile certainly could have gotten its facts wrong. Or it's conceivable the date may ultimately prove correct, and the carrier simply jumped the gun by revealing it without the official nod from BlackBerry.
Either way, BBM is due to reach iOS and Android sometime in the not too distant future.
Last month, BlackBerry spilled the beans that BBM would expand to iOS and Android this summer but was mum about a specific launch date. CEO Thorsten Heins revealed that the service will be available as a free download, adding that "we are confident time is right for BBM to be independent.
