The Boy Genius Report (BGR) leaked the information about upcoming BlackBerry Messenger for OS 5.0 devices. As per the BGR following are the exiciting upgrades in new BlackBerry Messenger.

  • SMS support – Finally getting threaded SMS support.
  • PIN barcode scanning – No need to find your PIN to send and add to other BlackBerry, just scan a barcode from another BlackBerry camera to get the PIN. This is cool :)
  • Backup/Restore Messenger list to microSD card —This is going to be huge very convenient feature, especially for people who change devices a lot.
  • Avatar support — This will help personalize your presence in other people’s BlackBerry Messenger same as other IM clients
  • 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 — I am gonna love this feature and all those users who run into boss- employees or you and hot cheek in the office kind of scenario. As the name of the feature implies I’m 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 — organize conversations to keep track of all communication.

The above new features are very exciting and I am sure it will add more juice to BlackBerry addiction, in fact BBM is very convenient, economic and becoming popular that once used its hard to live without.
