If you own a BlackBerry you'll already know how handy the messenger application is for keeping in contact with friends, people overseas and if you're a perv in a night club - random chicks whos PINs you've obtained.The only downfall with BBM was its lack of features that you'd find on other messengers such as MSN - avatars etc. BBM 5.0 is about to change all that, it includes;
* Avatar support — set your own avatar using the Camera or saved photo on your device (this is displayed locally as well as shown next to your Messenger name on your friend’s buddy list)
* GPS location integration — you can now set permissions so friends can always see your location, have to request it each time, or never can see it
* Proximity sensor — we’re guessing this will let you know if you’re within a certain distance of friends (pending, of course, you’re both set to share locations freely with each other)
* Set conversation subjects — this will allow you to organize your convos on the main Messenger screen and label them with subjects to keep track of all your conversations
* Homescreen support — you can pin/sticky actual Messenger contacts directly to the homescreen for easy access!
