Unlike some device fanboys, I'm secure enough to point out when I believe there is a shortcoming in the feature list. We're always reading about people's wish lists for the BlackBerry. Some want...

The native BlackBerry IM clients got another round of updates earlier this week. Google Talk, AIM, Yahoo!, MSN Messenger and ICQ all now sit at version 2.5.63. These were all tested in the Beta Zone for a few weeks so should be good to go all around with some minor updates and even a new icon or two.
