We have a few leaks out today for those of you who like to live dangerously. First up, we have BBM 6.0.  Last week, RIM announced the new features in BBM 6, and now there is a leak of it.  The bad news is that this will only work on OS 6 devices, which sucks [...]

RIM has come out with its latest BBM ad called “BBM Flirt” and it’s all about how the youth use BBM to get to know people that they meet.  To me, perhaps because I’m in this age group, this ad seems a lot more genuine than the others that came out last year.  I have [...]

More from Mobile World Congress today.  This time, Thebam Ganesh from RIM has a presentation about the new features that are coming in BBM 6.0.  The app itself doesn’t seem like it is changing that much, but they’re making up for it by expanding all of BBM’s features into APIs that can be used to [...]

RIM has posted a few press releases ahead of MWC 2011, which is set to kick off in a few hours.  The first is RIM’s new BBM gifting program that will allow BBM users to “instantly gift airtime, apps and other carrier services from one subscriber to another using BBM.”  This new system will integrate [...]

UPDATE (5:35PM EDT): I’ve been hearing that the barcode wasn’t working.  I have regenerated it and replaced the one that was here before.  Please try it again. UPDATE 2 (1:56AM EDT 5/20): Fixed the barcode again.  Confirmed to be working this time. Love your BlackBerry?  Want to chat with other people who love their BlackBerry?  [...]

Well, RIM seems to be getting the week started off right.  If you signed up for the BlackBerry Beta Zone and joined the BBM test program, keep your eyes glued to your BlackBerry (as if you didn’t already).  You should be getting an email over the next few hours with download instructions and a unique [...]
