BlackBerry mobile phone users can now enjoy a brand new application on their handsets, as Nimbuzz has just announced on Thursday that it now delivers a mobile instant messaging app for BlackBerry smartphones. The popular IM application is now available on a series of mobile phones from the Canadian handset vendor Research In Motion, and it brings forth some of the features that those who already tried Nimbuzz should be familiar with.

According to a recent blog post on Nimbuzz, the new app for BlackBerry phones comes with features like: - runs in background – allowing you to be online and available to your friends while writing an email, watching a movie or updating your agenda - connects you to all your friends – stay in touch with all your friends from the most popular social networks and instant messaging communities - brings home screen notification – whenever you receive a chat and the app is running in background you will see a notification on your home screen - auto-reconnects – whenever you lose the connection Nimbuzz will try to reconnect you switching between 3G, 2G or Wi-Fi searching for an available internet connection - “Clickable” URL’s – for a complete online experience you can open the links from chats or personal messages

According to the company, Nimbuzz for Blackberry has been developed so as to work as a native application, and offers users the possibility to stay connected at all times with their friends or family. The software solution comes to RIM's handsets with support for popular social networks and IM communities, including Skype, Facebook, Windows Live Messenger (MSN), MySpace, Yahoo, Gtalk and others more.

At the same time, the company also notes that the application, developed specifically for the BlackBerry OS, can run on handsets like: Storm, Bold 9000, Tour 9630, Pearl Flip, Curve 8900, Storm 2 and Bold 9700. Those who would like to learn more on the application or download it on their BlackBerry device should head over to Nimbuzz's website, where both additional details and download links are available.
