LG has revealed that they have partnered with BlackBerry, and has announced that BlackBerry's popular BlackBerry Messenger application will come pre-installed on its smartphones. LG will be involving both standard and virtual pre-loading of the app, which means the app will be also available for download using the LG App Manager.
According to LG, the G Pro Lite will be the first smartphone to offer BBM out-of-the-box. The LG G Pro Lite was launched in India in October, and looks like new stocks of G Pro Lite will come pre-loaded with BBM.
To remind you all, a week after BlackBerry Messenger roll-out, BlackBerry announced that BBM for Android and iOS has crossed 20 million active users. BlackBerry has not come up with current users stats.
