BlackBerry Messenger 5.0
I downloaded and played with Blackberry Messenger 5.0 yesterday and it is a must have for anyone who has a 4.5 os or higher. Messenger 5.0 has some great new features such as:
· Avatars- set a picture as your avatar and anyone who you message with will see it in the corner and you will see theirs.
· Groups-setup a group of users and leave it set up. An easy way to separate work and play, or perhaps family and friends. Each group you can have set to allow members invite people to join the group you set up. The group comes with a chat room a members list, group pictures area, calendar and a list area. It is almost like a small community based website.
· Recent Backup- Backs up your messenger contacts and info to a Messenger server.
· Bar Code- A picture that you can put on your screen that when scanned adds you to Messenger contacts. You can also save it as a picture to send it in email or print it to printed material, perhaps a business card? This is a way cool feature! The good people that run www.crackberry.com are doing a test to see how many contacts it can hold and back up without a problem. Last I looked they have over 4,000 pending requests and 400 contacts. You can also see Their more in depth instructions by clicking here
· Alternating Text Background Colors- make it easy to separate who said what.
These are the improvements that stood out to me. Please let us know what features you like best on the comment forum below. Please scan my Group Bar Code below to both interact with other Blackberry users and to get informed every time we put up a new theme.
