As expected, RIM has released BlackBerry Messenger 5.0. The upgraded messaging application hit the Internet yesterday evening, ready for support on all devices. You can find BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 at App World, or you can just go to blackberry.com/messenger from your BlackBerry browser.

Also, via BlackBerry Rocks, we learn of a new WordPress for BlackBerry update. This is version 0.9.0.157, and you can find it at http://blackberry.wordpress.org/install. Details of the update after the jump.

In the new version you’ll find these changes:
