A new version of Nimbuzz for BlackBerry devices is now available for download for the owners of a smartphone from Research In Motion, namely Nimbuzz 1.3.7. The new application release brings along a quite useful feature, one that was already made available for the owners of other devices, namely message delivery notifications.

The new feature is available for all BlackBerry users out there who have the application installed on their devices, the development team explains.

Basically, this includes the latest handset from RIM as well, that which landed on shelves last month with the new BlackBerry 7 OS on board.

Message delivery notifications in Nimbuzz 1.3.7 for Blackberry work in a simple manner, the company explains:

1 check mark (✓) when your message was successfully delivered to the Nimbuzz servers 2 check marks(✓✓) when your message was successfully delivered to the person you are chatting with. Please note this does not indicate that your chat was read by the other person but only delivered.

At the same time the new application release brings along a useful shortcut, aimed at making the 'Nimbuzzing experience' far more pleasant than before, namely fast scrolling.

What users will have to do to benefit from this feature would be to hold the “Alt” key while browsing up and down in their contact list.

“Lastly, we will be thrilled to find out that the new version is fully compatible with BlackBerry devices running on the new OS7,” Nimbuzz explains.

Whether it comes to installing the application on the new BlackBerry Torch 9810 or on Torch 9850/9860, on the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930, or even on the new BlackBerry Curve 9350/9360/9370, users will enjoy full support for it.

“We hope you will enjoy the new features and if you have any questions or suggestions please let us know,” the development team also notes.
