BeeJive IM 2.0 For BlackBerry Released

Submitted by ArmaK on Thu, 12/17/2009 - 00:23.

The popular BeeJive IM has now been updated to version 2.0. If you previously used any of the betas or the RC1 that was released only a few weeks ago then you already know what 2.0 can do.  But, for those out there that may have missed the trying it out, here are some of the new features:

    • Facebook chat: Chat with your Facebook friends while on the go, and see a record of your chats on facebook.com.
    • Clickable Twitter usernames: Click on a Twitter username in a chat to launch Twitter.
    • Refined and responsive UI: Take advantage of BeejiveIM’s custom-written user interface, offering speedy and responsive controls and a modern look-and-feel.
    • Voice notes: Instantly record and send voice messages to your IM contacts. Voice notes are perfect for on-the-go chatting, such as when you are walking down the street or need to get information to someone quickly and don’t have time to type.
    • GPS location: Send your current GPS location with a link to Google Maps, taking advantage of your BlackBerry's location features and adding a new location-aware element to your chats.
    • More chat styles: Customize your chat styles and colors and set different backgrounds and wallpapers.
    • File transfers with all IM services: Easily send, receive, and review file attachments, and see previews of images right inside your chat. 
    • Push notifications: Whether running in the foreground or the background, BeejiveIM will always notify you of new instant messages. 
    • Improved Battery Life:  Staying in touch with all your friends is now far gentler on your battery.
    • Support for the 5.0 OS and Storm:  BeejiveIM supports all BlackBerrys running 4.2.1+ and 5.X operating systems, including the Storm and Storm 2.

Still not sure if BeeJive IM is the right IM app for you, well try taking it for a spin for 30 days. Also to celebrate the release of BeeJive IM 2.0, BeeJive now has the app on sale through January 1 for $9.95 for a Device License and $14.95 for a User License. That's half off of the original price!
