I’m a big fan of BeejiveIM so I was happy to find out that they would be pushing out a beta update that will support OS 5.0, especially since my BlackBerry Bold 9700 should be coming in today .

Here’s the forum post from Jim over at Beejive (keep in mind that this was posted last week):

Quick update, we’re planning on getting a new beta for BlackBerry out next week including support for the 5.0 OS. Sorry all for the delay on this!

An earlier forum post by Jim says that they are working on version 1.9.7 which will be the version that supports OS 5.0. This update will be available for all BlackBerry devices running OS 4.2.1 to 5.0 including the Storm! Storm users should definitely be excited since their last beta update was back in July.

Big thanks to sgt-d from mcpfx for letting me know!
