I believe it will have all of the features that BBM has on an actual Blackberry device.

Well my BlackBerry was my first smartphone and BBM was more used than actual text messages... I doubt it will be like that now because now everyone won't have it. But I am still way excited to see this and how it develops. I don't see how you can not be excited especially being an ex-BlackBerry user!
Awesome, now will it let me talk to people in 2008 when people still used BBM?

What's bbm?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
first thing I have heard about BBM in a long time... kind of surprised there is a high enough interest in the making of the Android version, possible I guess though.
BBM was cool back in the day, but I don't see a reason for it now, not as if you can't just text who ever you want, on any carrier, on any device.......

How about iMessage for Android?
no different than BBM if you ask me, not needed imo
Most of my contacts switched to whatsapp as a replacement for BBM, I doubt enough will switch back to make it viable

Ok cool. So why do this need to be on android?
If this has all of the security built into it like when it's on an actual Blackberry then some corporate IT departments may let their employees use an android phone to receive corporate messaging. The company I work for is owned by a major defense contractor and has prohibited the use of android phones for corporate use. They must be Apple fan boys since they still allow the Iphone. I chose to not receive corporate mail on my phone and use a webmail client instead to bypass IT.
Tried searching online all last night and today and still can't find the leaked APK yet... anyone else?!
Leaked footage of BBM for Android updated in OP! Should be no time until it is live in the Play Store. I'm guessing like 2 or so weeks!

It was said to be within 30 days of launch, so sometime before the 4th of October. Rumor has it overseas, that it is supposed to be around the 15th. So, here's hoping.

It'll happen soon I'm sure. A lot of people purchased this phone, its really popular, so I'm sure it's gonna be top priority.
How popular do you think it is? I'm starting to worry about support for this phone going forward. So much so that I'm really hoping that the gs2 comes out before Oct 9 so I can exchange this for it.

Popular enough that I had a hard time finding one in stock LG doesn't have many smart phones on the US market and this is their top of the line android phone. If they're looking to make a good impression on the US market they'll get the update out. They don't have the presence in smart phone market here that HTC, Motorola, and Samsung do. So they're probably actually going to care about the phones they have on the market.

LG said they would update the Optimus 3D to Gingerbread in October. It will take longer to come to the Thrill because AT&T does their own internal testing and must approve the update and have it customized for them. I would guess November. Worst case December. Not a huge deal really. Froyo runs very smoothly on this phone and CM7 should be ready for this device soon if you want Gingerbread now.
Let me rephrase myself. I meant not having gingerbread sucks

It'll be on the cloud, you can stream it or pin it to your device if you wish.
Not sure if this is a good idea but you guy's can let me know.
1) Given that we have no idea when this phone will release and even if Google announces a date we would still not know exactly what time.
2) And the fact we may have a short window (15 minutes or so) for purchasing the phone before it goes out of stock.
Would you guy's like to join up in groups (say 5 people or so per group) exchange cell #'s through PM's and when the phone launches the first person in a group who notices texts the other members to give them a heads-up?
I would hate after waiting all this time to miss the launch by 15-30 minutes and get stuck waiting weeks for a restock.
I wrote a python application similar to this one of the Nexus 4 release:
pastebin.com/Ep1JSUTy
It will notify me if something seems to be available.
