Fancy Characters v5 for BlackBerry now available
In Playbook news Angry birds seasons has been updated to 2.3. :D
um...thanks?
As John Cleese would say: And now for something completely different
This here is a great app....best thing out there
Installed and deleted... Played havoc with BBM when I rebooted my phone. Launches it automatically about five times before connecting with it.
yes... it did seem to really really really really really want me to know it was integrated with BBM. LOL! I think it's calmed now. It's working fine.
If I use this app to send a character and if the receiving users do not have this app, can they still see the icons? Specially on SMS (BBM will be mostly likely will be the same anyway)
Where is the screen shot?
