beejivebeta Tashanna let me know about a forum post on PinStack by Jim detailing a public beta of BeeJive 1.1.1. BeeJive is a very popular multi-service IM client for BlackBerry and this new beta adds some promising features in OS 4.6 devices like the Bold & 8900 Curve. I was waiting for a developer to start supporting the Message Box integration available in OS 4.6+. This lets applications put your IM’s in the Messages folder just like RIM’s native clients.

From their announcement:

This new beta fix addresses a bunch of bugs and includes better integration with the Messages Inbox. This is a minor release targeting the 4.6 OS. It features VGA images (for the Bold & 8900 Curve) and Message Inbox integration. There are no significant changes for OS’s below 4.6.

You can pick up the new beta at:

or OTA at: www.beejive.com/download?beta=true

NOTE: You will need to uninstall your current version of BeeJive for the beta to load.

    Is this going to be free or is it just a trial?

    It appears to be a trial (I was asked if I wanted to get a trial key when I first started it).

    I use gtalk and aim on my bold, both the native clients and they work fine. They put the messages in my inbox just where I want them. I tried beejive for 5 minutes, and I’ll be removing it shortly…. I don’t need all the additional im clients. Just gtalk and aim.

    BeeJive is not a free IM application.
    It costs you $20 or $30, depends on which license you chose.

    Hm, my battery holds 2 days. It doesn’t depend if I use GPRS, 3G.
    Once I’m at home I enable WIFI.

    2 days is not very nice and a little bit short. But it’s ok for me if I charge it over night or during the time in the office where I at my desk.

    And I use IM on my BB only once I’m on the road and I want to talk so some people.

    Can’t wait for the Storm version. I have a paid sub and have not been able to use it since I upgraded from my Curve

    I love Beejive.

    It let’s me use my work and personal screen names at the same time, it will transfer files, keeps logs and let’s you set per sn status messages. It’s in use on about the sixth BB since I got it (8220).
