If you're a a BlackBerry 10 user and have the Beta Zone app installed you may have been lucky enough to be selected to test out the latest version of BBM. Unfortunately, not everyone got it, so I'm pretty pleased I was on the list as this thing is freaking awesome.
Us BlackBerry addicts already know that BBM is the best instant messaging client out there and it's even better since we have been able to BBM our buddies on Android and iOS devices, but this beta is taking BlackBerry Messenger to a new level.
I'm going to keep this post short and sweet as it's all about the video, so check it out as soon as you can. With a beautiful selection of new features in this release - including a bunch of really cool emoticons, Glympse and easier file sharing you'll also see that I get rather excited about voice note sharing. It is now so simple to use, with instant delivery and isn't far off push-to-talk.
Note: If you are running a leaked OS on your BlackBerry then the BBM beta will not work. You can't win 'em all.
If you are one of the beta testers be sure to hit up the feedback section in the Beta Zone so BlackBerry can get this update pushed out to the public as soon as possible. Nice work Team BBM - you have done yourselves proud once again!
