Just wanted to give you all a quick update on the IM+ for the BlackBerry PlayBook Delay. Our friends at Shape Services has spoken out and here is what they had to say:

Shape’s Development Head Alex and myself just had a talk with Tyler Lessard, RIM’s VP, Global Alliances and Developer Relations.

Tyler was really friendly and helpful and we have now a hope that IM+ for Playbook will be approved within two weeks or so. We understand that to approve such an complex app can take the same time or more as the development of IM+ for Playbook itself. Just as remember, the app is now for two months in the testing queue.

And the best of the talk: after years of our requests to RIM we got from Tyler a promise to consider BlackBerry Push usage for IM+. It would make user experience on the BlackBerry platform the same kind of beautiful like on iOS.

Please continue to follow-up the story, it will really help to make things done. And to celebrate the moment we will offer to our friends from CrackBerry.com 25 free licenses of IM+ Pro for BlackBerry right now and 25 free licenses of IM+ for Playbook after release.

It is nice to hear that they are making progress on the application making its way to BlackBerry App World for the BlackBerry PlayBook. The Application is one of my favorites and would love to see it on the BlackBerry PlayBook!

How to Communicate With Other Blackberry Users

Pin messages are the fastest way to communicate with other Blackberry users via text. This article explains how you can make use of these to communicate with others who own a Blackberry phone.

Steps

1. Be aware that every Blackberry has a specific PIN (personal information number). PIN messages are from Blackberry to Blackberry and the fastest way to communicate via text.
2. Set the profiles to react differently when receiving PIN messages also know as "Level 1 Messages". If you want to say something to somebody with a Blackberry, but don’t want a copy of it on the email server or their desktop, then you can PIN them.
3. Look for the receipt notification. When you compose and send a PIN the device will show you that they received it.
4. Populate your PIN. While composing an email typing “mypin"? will populate your PIN.

Things You'll Need

• Blackberry phone
• PIN

This article will teach you how to retrieve the unlock code and enter it into your Blackberry 9000-series phone AKA BlackBerry Bold so that it may be used with any cellular network SIM card.

You can access this code from your phone: 1) Turn your phone on. 2) Click on the "Phone" icon. 3) Enter the following symbols: *#06# 4) After entering the final # symbol, a message will appear displaying your IMEI number. It is a 15-digit number in the format XXXXXX.XX.XXXXXX.X

Step 2
Second, you have to get the unlock code. This can be purchased on the internet, or you may call your cellular provider. Either way, they will ask for the IMEI code which you determined in step one of this tutorial. Move on to step 3 when you have received your unlock code.

Step 3
Follow these instructions exactly to unlock your phone:

1. Make sure your SIM card is NOT inserted into the device.
2. Turn on the phone and click the "Manage Connections" icon.
3. Choose the option "Turn off all connections."
4. The cellular radio will be turned off.
5. Go back to the Home screen and click the "Options" icon and select "Advanced Options."
6. Scroll down and select "SIM Card" from the list.
7. Press the following keys in order: (M) (E) (P) (E)
8. A prompt will appear asking for the unlock code. Input the 16-digit code exactly.
9. Reboot your device.
10. Re-enable the cellular radio

WARNING

1. Be sure to remove the SIM card and disable the cellular radio as instructed.
2. The unlock code is specific to your IMEI so you cannot use a generic or friend's code.
3. If you fail to enter the unlock code 5 times, the phone may be permanently locked to your cellular network.
