     BlackBerry 6 OS devices now have a new BBM feature: Voice calls 
over Wi-Fi. The software, which is coming to Blackberry OS-5 as well, can help 
BlackBerry users talk and text at the same time, while cutting down on 
voice minute usage; good for emerging markets.<br />

Research In Motion launched version 7 of its BlackBerry Messenger 
(BBM) service on Tuesday, adding voice calling to the software. The new feature, named BBM Voice,
 uses Wi-Fi networks for the voice calls and has a split screen mode 
allowing users to talk and text at the same time. Sill in beta, BBM 
Voice is available for BlackBerry 6 OS devices with plans for BlackBerry
 5 OS support in the future.<br />

Here’s a rundown of the BBM Voice features, per RIM’s news release:<br />

<ul>
<li class="first">Customers can initiate a BBM Voice call directly, or instantly switch from a BBM text chat to talk, and back again.</li>
<li>The split-screen feature allows customers to talk and text at the 
same time, so for example, they can send a picture to their contact 
while talking with them. They can also check other BBM text chats, check
 email, or navigate to other apps while engaged on a BBM Voice call.</li>
<li>BBM provides a visual indicator that shows when contacts are available for a voice call.</li>
<li>BBM Voice is compatible with any accessories a customer has now for 
making voice calls on their BlackBerry smartphone, such as a Bluetooth® 
or wired headset. Customers can also use BBM Voice over their BlackBerry
 smartphone’s speakerphone.</li>
<li class="last">If it’s not an ideal time to talk, customers can simply choose to respond by texting back.</li>
</ul>
Adding voice capabilities to BBM is an idea that’s long overdue, but 
will certainly add value to the service. In areas where voice minutes 
are still limited or expensive.
