If you go to RIM’s mobile page, you can find updated versions of some messaging clients and the Social Networking apps. I highly recommend updating your apps if they’re available. Rumor has it that RIM is preparing for OS 5.0 and these will be compatible. I always say a happy BlackBerry is one that keeps updated.
