I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 running Device OS 5.0.0.351, and a complete clean install of 2.0 RC1, and the Profile Bug still exists.

Some kind of indicator / animation should be added to show when the contact list is being updated, and, more importantly, is finished. Currently the delayed refresh and jumping of the buddy list is, in my opinion, the most annoying part of the app.

I get 500 internal server error.

I have noticed that if you leave a chat open and press the end key and you receive a message you get the notification sound but no indicator on the beejive icon or on the top of the screen. For you to get the notification icon to show you have to be on the main screen, if you back out of a chat then go to the beejive main screen and press the end key to exit beejive only then will you receive the notification icons. Is there some way to fix this, I have also had the same issue on 1.97.

Works great even seems to load faster but there's a few things that bother me that aren't working properly.

no group support still to add or delete groups,

when a contact that's not on your list IMs you and you choose to add them to your list they aren't added until you sign off and the prompt still pops up

Can't change icons on yahoo messenger

Those are all what I've noticed.. I'll go indepth durng the day. Great job though.

MSN bug in push mode, still here... at least on my bold 4.6.0.307

- Go in push email mode
- a user goes online AFTER you set the push email mode
- if this user text you, when you open beejive, you'll see this user offline, but he's online.

Facebook bug: same thing but you'll see the user online. The problem is you won't see his name, but a number instead.. and a dialog with "message from buddy not in user list" will appear.

Told that many times but no one from support answered me
I hope jim will tell me "we know"
I'm really sorry because push email mode is really a great thing... but i cannot use it with this problems...

You can add / change groups in the buddy info screen.
