My next 2 posts will be for those of you out there who use Blackberries (or as I fondly call them, Crackberries :-)
Blackberry just announced the release of a new version of Yahoo IM for your Blackberry. This new version, Ver 2.0, now lets you read and maintain your IM conversations from within your Messages (Email/SMS etc) Inbox. No need to toggle anymore from your Messages icon to your Yahoo IM icon. Yippee! In addition, the new version now lets you see people's avatars as well.
To download and install it, go to your Blackberry's Internet Browser, find the link to the new Yahoo IM, click on it and follow the steps. Word of warning though, I encountered a problem installing it into mine, a Blackberry model 8707. The applications showed the program was properly downloaded and installed. However, the Yahoo IM icon was nowhere on my screen. Also, after rebooting my device, the following error msg appeared: Uncaught exception: java.lang. Error. After researching thru the net and help grps, it seemed I wasn't the only one to encounter this. It's some Yahoo bug that affects certain newer Blackberry models. The fix is pretty simple though:
Go to Options/Advanced Options/Applications/Modules then scroll down until you see net_rim_yahoomessenger module (v 1.*.*) and delete it. After it deletes, your Blackberry will reboot, and when it comes back on, the error is gone and the icon is there.
