hi there,

we are working on releasing a blackberry version of our iphone app and i wanted to see if anybody here would be interested in helping us beta test it. it would be great to get some bugs/features feedback from BB power users before we make an official release. if you are interested, please PM me - i'd love to get a dozen or two of beta volunteers. i am hoping that the limited public beta will be ready in a couple of weeks.

edit: the app is a status indicator for your phone. for example, if you are on a plane or on a golf course and want people to email you instead of trying to call you, you'd set your status to say "On the plane, email me at [email protected]" or "Playing golf, important calls only" ... basically the same concept as Google Talk status or Yahoo! Messenger status but for the actual phone itself.

oh, i should probably mention the app name: WhatsApp

our (very iPhone specific for now - sorry 'bout that) site is: WhatsApp and as you read our faq, simply replace iPhone with BlackBerry for now

thanks.

PM Sent... however without any idea what the app is, it's kinda hard to know whether it's something I would participate in. (ie... my twittering is very limited, don't facebook, however I also use calendar apps extensively etc...)

hi there,

we have a new beta version out (0.14) and we just uploaded it to our OTA download site a few minutes ago (~6:30PM PST)

if you are running an older version (the one installed yesterday or installed earlier today), please DELETE it first (Options > Advanved > Applications > WhatsApp) before you upgrade to the new version.

to install the new one version after you delete the old one, simply visit the same OTA url you got in your PM.

thanks.
