Trillian let the world know a bit back that they were working on a IM client for BlackBerry. It looks like they have been really burning the midnight oil since they are planning on releasing it in the next few days according to Adam over @CrackBerry. I never really liked multi-IM apps since RIM released their native IM clients but I can understand why some people want them for Facebook, MySpace, & Jabber chat which are not available from RIM. It also keeps you accounts in sync from your desktop to your BlackBerry whatever that means…
When the app is released it will include the following features:
- Send pictures
- Stay signed on for up to 7 days with the application closed
- Contact avatars
- Manage your contact list – group contacts, rename contact list items, sorting and offline contact preferences
- Alerts and notifications: LED alert, email push notifications, full integration with standard profiles
- Set local display name, set local avatar
- Copy & paste in message windows
- Privacy management (blocking, visibility controls, etc)
- View user information (AIM profiles, etc)
