| August 1, 2011 | 0 Comments

Finally yesterday I installed the latest version for Blackberry Messenger, the Blackberry Messenger 6. Sadly, for me, it’s still the same old BBM. Nothing new nothing impressive about the latest one. Maybe I’m one of those BBM user who only use BBM to chat with a few close friends.

However according to RIM, here’s what the latest BBM brings you:-

BBM 6 marks the beginning of an even greater social experience for BlackBerry smartphone users,” said Alistair Mitchell, VP, BBM Platform & Integrated Services at Research In Motion. “It also represents an incredible opportunity for developers to leverage the viral nature of the BBM service and we have already begun working with various developer partners who will be bringing their BBM connected apps to BlackBerry App World this week, offering users highly engaging app experiences. A selection of BBM connected apps are already available on BlackBerry App World. Some key apps include games like Pocket Ants and Backgammon King, location-based like Foursquare and Telemap, enterprise-level apps like Unvired Workflow for SAP and social apps like Jingu and PowWow.

I just don’t care because I don’t used these apps. Maybe you guys do use this apps so enjoy them.

7 New BlackBerry Models And Blackberry OS 7 To Be Revealed Next Few Months

blackberry 7 new models

Blackberry is fast losing it’s popularity with android smartphones taking over the market share. To counter this, RIM has announced that they will be producing 7 new Blackberry models including the new Blackberry Bold 9900. All of these new Blackberry Models will come together with their new OS, Blacberry OS 7.

For me, Blacberry needs to find new users and stop relying on business, politician and celebrities users. They need to penetrate more younger market. To penetrate them means that Blackberry have to come out with a more interactive models (better games, better apps). Maybe the people from RIM can learn something from the android history.

What do you think? Do you think Blackberry dooms day is nearing?
