BlackBerry updates BBM Shop, adds stickers promotion

Admit it: Sometimes what you need to say is best expressed through the image of a WWE character. Now that you can send that wrestler, or a picture of Shaun the Sheep (if you’re feeling a little less hostile) to friends via BBM. And following rumors we heard a few weeks ago, today BlackBerry released an update to their BBM Shop. For first timers, the app is pretty much similar to what all some other messaging apps have been doing for a while now; has a collection of specially selected apps, games, music and services for download or purchase to enhance the chat experience.

The company’s new BBM Shop where you can pick up a variety of sticker packs (with 20-25 icons each) now for $0.99 or less a pop, with more expected to come on a regular basis. If the addition of stickers isn’t quite enough for you, today’s update also brings the ability to share photos with friends in multi-person chats, so you can make sure the whole crew gets that #groupie at the same time. The promotion is for a limited time.
