Used by celebrities, consumers, fashionistas, families and businesspeople, BlackBerry® Messenger is a unique instant messaging service designed just for BlackBerry® smartphone users. Wherever you are in the world, BlackBerry Messenger enables you to instantly chat, send and receive pictures and much more in real-time, making it the ultimate app for people who want to keep in contact on the go.
New BlackBerry Messenger includes some great new features and enhancements exclusively for BlackBerry users:
- BlackBerry group functionality: Allows groups of friends, families and other personal contacts to stay connected and share experiences in real time. It has been tightly integrated into BlackBerry functionality so users can even add shortcut icons to their home screen to quickly access a group and get chatting
Pictures, lists and even calendar appointments can be shared across the group, and group administrators can also control membership and other group features
- Bar code identity: This great new innovation means users can add/invite contacts to their BlackBerry Messenger list by scanning a 2-dimensional bar code, captured with the BlackBerry smartphone’s camera
- Avatars: You can personalise the BlackBerry Messenger experience with individual avatars and profiles which will be automatically seen by all contacts
- Large media file transfer: Files of up to 6 MB can be transferred easily through BlackBerry Messenger, giving the option to send higher resolution pictures and longer voice notes to contacts
- Backup and storage: Advanced backup and storage options ensuring users never lose contacts.
New BlackBerry Messenger is available globally on
www.blackberry.com/blackberrymessenger and will support a large number of languages across the world.
Requirements: To use the new BlackBerry Messenger version users must have a BlackBerry smartphone operating on a wireless service data plan with BlackBerry Device Software Version 4.5 and later.
