RIM has released the long-awaited BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 application featuring 'avatars', or a profile photo in messaging applications on the device.

BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 can also generate a barcode version of the user's PIN that other users can then scan using their camera, eliminating the need to manually enter the PIN, as well as the cumbersome texting, copying and pasting that is routine for users.
