Facebook and Twitter Apps Integrated with BBM
Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones (version 3.0) and Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones (version 3.0) now allow users to share their Facebook status or latest Tweet with their BBM friends right from within the app, why update three status’ individually when you can update them all in one go?

With BBM (version 6.2) and BlackBerry App World (version 3.1.2), users can easily update their BBM profile to let their friends know about the great new app they’ve just downloaded from BlackBerry App World. With this updated version of BlackBerry App World, users can also instantly share info about their favourite app or a list of their installed apps with friends using BlackBerry Tag*.
BBM Music – Music Discovery Made Better
With the enhanced BBM Music (version 1.2), discovering music and making friends is easier than ever.
