This is a pretty sweet feature I didn't see coming. Just when we finished complaining about newer devices losing the left-side convenience key, it looks like RIM was actually listening (kind of). This leaked slide shows off the upcoming BlackBerry Curve 9320 and it's brand new features - a dedicated BBM button!! The button looks to be taking over where the left-side convenience key left off (we miss you little fella!) and will launch you straight into BBM. I'll admit, it does remind me a bit of the dedicated Facebook button the HTC Status, but hopefully this one will get put to good use. I would love to have this on my 9900 - I think this could be an awesome feature for BBM addicts that pick up this device.

BBM 10.3 will not work on OS 10.3 leaked builds
Now that BBM 10.3 has hit the masses, we've noticed there has been a ton of folks asking why the update is not working for them. When asked which OS they're on, most folks state they're running an older OS leak with .1055 or .1295 being the most common. Just as in the beta stages, the new BBM will not work on those leaks.
