David just sent us a tip that a new version of LexSpell has been released by BEIKS. We have mentioned LexSpell quite a few times in the past including an impressive review but it has really quieted down since RIM added their own native spell checker in OS 4.2.2. The new version of LexSpell fixes issues they had with version 2.0 which said it was an expired version.

If you remember LexSpell is free to use but you will get a nag screen after each spellcheck asking you to register. Registration is only $10 and now has an added benefit. If you register you will now have the option to automatically spellcheck an email before it is sent. BlackBerry OS 4.2.1 is now required to run LexSpell compared to the OS 4.0 requirement of the previous version. This may turn off users who were using LexSpell on older devices that do not have built in spellchecking capabilities.

You can read the product description here. The upgrade is free and can be picked up only OTA using the following link:

According to the BEIKS website, desktop manager installation files are not currently available.
