Found this jewel over at BlackBerryOS.com and boy is it a big one…BBM 5.0 which has a brand new look and feel to it. One thing I noticed right off hand was the ability to “show what you’re listening to” for those of us who use our BlackBerry devices as an MP3 player as well. GPS location settings are there also as well as a proximity alert to let you know when you’re getting closer to one of your BBM friends. (weird?) Also the ability to group chat as well as group message, is another welcomed feature, I know I will use this alot to correspond with co-workers. One of the best features in my opinion is the new way you can add a contact. Of course you still have the normal PIN or email selection, but it has now opened up to the barcode scan. Select your barcode and post it somewhere online or show your barcode to someone else who has BBM 5.0 and once they scan it, your infromation is received on the other device. Rather nifty thing I must say… head over to BlackBerryOS.com and download and install the new BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 if you like. *(Just be sure to backup your device before doing so)
