BBM Animated has gathered properly sized animated gifs on their site for you to download. Navigate to the site from the link below, pick out which avatar you'd like to use, and save it to your BlackBerry. From here you can open up your media folder and find the saved gif, open it and hit your menu button. Choose "Set As BBM Display Picture" and you're all set. You can also change the avatar from BBM directly. Go to your profile and click your current avatar, which will open up your pictures folder. Choose the gif you downloaded and you're done.

way to go :D. to bad they arent constant animation and only when you click on them
They only loop when you highlight that person in the main contact list screen, not inside the message. Bug or feature... hmmm
I found this collection to be nice and all are less than 32KB. Perfect for BlackBerry.

Hey check out www.BBMAnimated.com for an app to download new Avatars
Why would you go thru the trouble to download an APP when you can just go straight to the ORIGINAL website bbm-animated? Especially since its all the same content?
