So what are the new features?

[jacaranda1]

...eh, MySpace IM? I'm still trying to download it now but what would actually have been a useful feature for JiveTalk would have been an alert at the top of your home screen for new IMs next to your emails and SMS alerts...

Installation works OK, but my bberry hangs when JT 1.03 is asking for file connection to my SM card ... Have to power off and on, then receive a Java exception message . Not sure if the BES attached to the bberry has some sort of policy on the SM card and/or file transfers , or just a bug in JT 1.03.. Anybody else experience this ?? I might need to revert to 1.02 if I can't figure out the answer ..:

[thebear8me]

after install, Start Jivetalk and before logging into any account select the menu key then "Clear All Buddy Icons". that should do the trick. The setup should work fine after that.

Cheers

After "Ping Server" , all I have is "About Jivetalk" , Force Shutdown, Help and Close ..almost like it's a 1.02 menu ...

Reinstalled by using bberry browser to beejive site . Reinstalled . No problems for 24+ hours ... Looks like a keeper ..

I love it as I have before. Seems like Myspace has some kinks to work out though. I would dig notifications up top too. Perhaps someday all our dreams will come true.

Hello - was wondering if anyone had any valid coupon codes. I love Jivetalk but I hate to pay $30 for it. All of the old coupon phones no longer work!
