BeeJive today announced JiveTalk Mobile Messenger for BlackBerrys. JiveTalk, which promises to allow you to log into multiple IM networks from a single, unified user-interface. Currently, JiveTalk works with AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Google Talk, ICQ, and Jabber.

The software allows you to sign-on to multiple networks and multiple accounts per network. It works through the users' existing data plans, not SMS, so there are no additional per message charges.

As an instant messaging client, users have access to important desktop IM functions, including buddy list management, privacy controls, presence management, emoticons, and more. JiveTalk offers some mobile specific features; like customizable alerts and ringtones and integration with BlackBerry e-mail, phone, and browser applications.

After a 30-day trial period, you can opt for a $19.95 device license, which allows the program to run on one device without the option to change devices, or a $29.95 license, which stays allows for the switching devices anytime.

JiveTalk does require the BlackBerry OS 4.0 or higher. So it works with the newer BlackBerrys, such as the Curve, the Pearl, 8800, 8700, 7500, 7200, and 7100 Series.

We'll post a review of JiveTalk soon.
