BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 Preview

Date Published: July 18, 2009


BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 is not yet released but a preview of its details have been revealed. For BlackBerry phone owners, here is an idea of how the 5.0 version of BlackBerry Messenger would be like. Below is the list of BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 details.

BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 Details:

  • SMS support – BlackBerry devices are finally getting threaded SMS support.
  • PIN barcode scanning – Rather than find your PIN and reading or sending it, you will be able to scan a barcode to get the PIN. Just press the barcode option and another BlackBerry with a camera can scan it.
  • Backup/Restore Messenger list to microSD card —This is going to be huge, especially for people who change devices a lot.
  • Avatar support — set your own avatar using the Camera or saved photo on your device (this is displayed locally as well as shown next to your Messenger name on your friend’s buddy list).
  • GPS location integration — you can now set permissions so friends can always see your location, have to request it each time, or never can see it.
  • Proximity sensor — we’re guessing this will let you know if you’re within a certain distance of friends (pending, of course, you’re both set to share locations freely with each other).
  • Set conversation subjects — this will allow you to organize your convos on the main Messenger screen and label them with subjects to keep track of all your conversations.
  • Homescreen support — you can pin/sticky actual Messenger contacts directly to the homescreen for easy access!

Again, BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 download is still yet to come. As soon as BBM 5.0 update is available, we’ll be happy to provide you the BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 download link. Stay tuned on more BlackBerry updates!

When BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 is released, let’s try to compare it with Yahoo Messenger, G-Talk and other instant messaging services then tell us what you think. We’ll be happy to hear your comments.
