More BBM Avatars

Some more of my favorite BBM Avatars:

HOT! BBM Phantom Avatars

You may or may not have seen these on your friends' BBM profiles. They are the latest craze and are pretty cool. Some look totally invisible or like a default icon UNTIL you hover over them! Then the hidden picture/message is revealed! Pretty cool. Here are some of my favorites:

To put one of these on your BBM profile, just save it to your SD card and change it to your profile pic.

Any questions? Just let me know in the comments!

BlackBerry Messenger Updated Again 5.0.0.55

BlackBerry Messenger has been updated yet again to version 5.0.0.55. Here's what Adam Zeis had to say about it over at Crackberry.com:

BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.55 is now officially available. The update includes some small tweaks here and there, including picture previews, smaller status text, improved groups and more. The update will install right over your older version, but we highly recommend a full backup before you get going. You can snag the new version in BlackBerry App World or by heading over to blackberry.com/messenger on your device browser.

Put Flags For Almost Any Country In BlackBerry Messenger 5.0

In the newest version of BBM, you can add flag icons from almost any country in the world. Its very simple. Its the 2 letter country code with a * before and after.

For example: The Canada flag would be *ca*
USA - *us*
Japan - *jp*
Finland - *fi*
Fiji - *fj*

Just type the codes as above then hit space and the flag icon will appear.

I found a website with all the country codes here: http://www.modemsite.com/56k/_ccodes.asp

Not all of them work in BBM. Most do, but I know for sure that Christmas Island (yes, that is a country) and Western Sahara do NOT work.

Have fun!
