UPDATE: BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.33 NOW Officially in App World!!!
BerryReview just let me know that he spotted BlackBerry Messenger in the BlackBerry App World at this link below:
Link in App World Web Store or www.blackberry.com/messenger
UPDATE 2: Looks like it is available outside of the App World at:
www.blackberry.com/messenger
Update 1: Just got the feature list from RIM
* Avatars can be easily set up and then populated from BlackBerry Contacts
* Group Functionality – allows groups of friends, family and personal contacts to stay connected & share experiences instantly on their BlackBerry smartphones:
o ongoing group chat
o sharing pictures
o organizing tasks and events with shared lists and calendars
* Bar-code identity – easily add/invite contacts to BlackBerry Messenger by displaying a 2-dimensional bar code that the invitees can capture with their BlackBerry camera
* Large Media File Transfer – up to 6MB
The download is a whopping 2.8 megabytes but it looks like it is worth it. I am still waiting for my device to reboot and heading to the bar but let us know what you find in the comments! I wonder how long it will take this one to take top place in the App World charts.
PS. App World says it supports all devices in all countries. Not sure how that works…
