Facebook 1.7 Now Available!

Facebook for BlackBerry has been updated yet again and the change is actually noticeable.

The most important improvement is News Feed Support. Its looks more like the current FB on a computer browser.

At first, I thought this was kind of a rip-off cause I liked the status update filter which only showed status updates of friends and none of that other, mostly useless stuff. BUT if you look at the top where it says News Feed, its actually a drop down menu with these other options: Status Updates, Photos, Links.

I like where this is going. This version still supports the calendar and contact linking which is a great feature.

It is available for download at App World or here: www.blackberry.com/facebook.

Enjoy!

BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 Now Available for Download!!!

I'm installing the newest version of BBM right now. 5.0 has many improvements on previous versions.

Download it now on App World!

Here is some more info from BGR (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/):

The new BlackBerry Messenger includes a barcode scan to add contacts to your BlackBerry. Blackberry messenger 5.0 features a proximity sensor which will tell you how close you are to your friends, assuming of course, that both Berry’s were set to share location. Directly on the home screen, messenger contacts can be placed.

And of course, there is that ultra-cool bar code feature. It also provides PIN barcode scanning. And it will permit you to add your friend by just entering their PIN. Other features include threaded SMS support.

Blackberry messenger 5.0 New features include:

Avatar support — set your own avatar using the Camera or saved photo on your device (this is displayed locally as well as shown next to your Messenger name on your friend’s buddy list)

GPS location integration — you can now set permissions so friends can always see your location, have to request it each time, or never can see it

Proximity sensor — we’re guessing this will let you know if you’re within a certain distance of friends (pending, of course, you’re both set to share locations freely with each other)

Set conversation subjects — this will allow you to organize your convos on the main Messenger screen and label them with subjects to keep track of all your conversations

Homescreen support — you can pin/sticky actual Messenger contacts directly to the homescreen for easy access!

Sounds sweet to me! I'm rebooting now, anxiously awaiting the chance to try out this sweetness!

Remember, you can get it free at App World. Enjoy!

BB Scanner. Not Free Anymore...

Looks like one of my favorite apps is unfortunately not free anymore. I was surprised that it was in the first place. But apparently there have been some major improvements and upgrades in this new, official version.

You can search for scanners near you, and save favorites among other things. Its now $2.99 for the app.

Gmail Actually Syncs Now?

I've been using Gmail on BB for over 2 years now and I could never figure out how to sync the messages. ie. When I read a message on the berry, it was still marked as unread when I was on gmail on my computer.

But miraculously today when I opened my gmail account (which I seldom do anymore) on my PC, the messages I had read during the day on my berry were marked as unread! Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, I've been posting a lot of twitter tweets that automatically feed to the blog. You'll find them on the right side. I find this is a very easy way to pass some quick info along to everyone out there in blog land.

How To Sync Your Berry With Outlook

I just started seriously using Microsoft Outlook 2007 mostly for the calendar feature. I knew that it could be synced with my 8900, but I had no idea how. After searching the BB Suport Forums, I found the solution which is quite simple.

I just found an even better tutorial on CrackBerry.com in the 101 Lecture Series section:

How to Setup Your BlackBerry to Sync With Outlook

Check it out. Its great to have a real backup of all contacts, calendar entries, messages and even memos. The 2 way sync makes it nice to make sure you're always up to date.
