BBM officially updates to BBM 7 with voice available in App World

Here are some other great features you’ll love in BBM 7:

 

• BBM upgrade notifications – BBM will notify you when there are updates to download straight from within the app
• BBID Synchronization – your BBM profile, Groups and Contacts are linked to your BlackBerry ID
• 16 Additional emoticons – even more choice for those times when words just aren’t enough. Can you spot the new ones? *Drool*

Update notification through App World might take up to 24 hours to show up, but a reboot sometimes speeds up the process.  Also please note, that BBM 7 also updates the BBM association with BlackBerry ID which will make backing up your contact list a lot easier, as well a switching devices.
