Not sure how I missed this but a reader let me know the WordPress team updated their official BlackBerry app a few weeks ago to version 1.5. As a reminder, this app allows you to write posts, upload photos and videos, edit pages, and manage comments for WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress (2.9.2 or higher) blogs. Changes in version 1.5 include:

• Added support for Blavatars (“Blog Avatars”).
• Added preview for drafts, scheduled and private posts.
• Introduced the home screen icon for comment notifications.
• Added a visual indicator that shows the post status in the post list screen.
• Added support for Discussion settings (enable/disable comments, pingbacks and Trackbacks).
• Categories are now alphabetically sorted.
• Added the possibility to specify a resize dimension on each image.
• Changed the image resize feature, by adding predefined dimensions loaded from the Blog Media Settings.
• Fixed issues on the Permissions settings screen, it now appears once at first startup.
• Small UI redesign.
