Kathy just let me know that RIM has released an update to their native Yahoo Messenger bringing it to version 2.1.33. This is similar to their Google Talk update last week.
Once again no changelogs so we have no idea what changed.
Let us know if you find anything new.
You can pick up the download from:

I know many people have been complaining about one issue with Documents to Go since we mentioned the free update that added Sheets to Go. People found that if you connected your BlackBerry to your computer & desktop manager after installing the update it would downgrade Documents to go back to the default older version.

I got an email today from S4BB that they just released a diary application for BlackBerry. I know it is easy to type on a Berry but is it really the ideal device to write your diary on?

All thanks to some dedicated fans in the BlackBerry community Vlingo fixed the bug where T-Mobile and Rogers customers could not use the service. I was worried since I was having the same [...]
