BlackBerry Tip: Requirements For Animated Avatars To Work In BBM 6.1

I’m sure many of you are already playing with the new features in BBM 6.1, released yesterday in the BlackBerry Beta Zone with new emoticons, animated avatars and more. For those of you that haven’t tried it yet, animated avatars need to meet a few requirements in order for them to work. Here are those requirements:

• Less than 32K
• Square dimensions

For more info on animated avatars you can check out this Wikipedia article on animated GIFs. If you have any tips, formatting help or animated avatars you’d like to share, feel free to leave a comment or post about it in the forums. I went ahead and started a thread here with some websites listed.
