Personally I think this is a move WebMessenger should have made ages ago. They are now offering their WebMessenger Mobile IM application for free! WebMessenger was the first IM client that I remember for BlackBerry devices back in 2000. WebMessenger allows you to login to AIM, Google, MSN, and Yahoo from your BlackBerry!
Pretty cool and [...]

Only OTA downloads are available at [...]

Viralelectronics.com got the word on a great free J2ME puzzle game called Pipes that works for BlackBerry devices. The game reminds me of BEIKS Netwalk which is an awesome game. The idea is that you need to complete the puzzle by connecting all the pipes in one chain. The game is not specifically designed for [...]

IM support including Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Google Talk, SMS…
VOIP calling
