It annoyed most folks trying to figure out how to use the all new leaked emoticon and smileys for BBM. Sure there’s the traditional ones but a couple weeks ago we showed you the exclusive and unreleased ones ranging to about 300 in variety. Copying and pasting them was a pain as they appeared to be blocks in any other app besides BlackBerry Messenger. You could surely add them to AutoText, but it’s not so convenient remembering all your custom words you added for each smiley and picture icon. Picticons is a new add-on application for BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 that lets you select all these exclusive picture icons and smiley at the press of a button just like you usually do for regular ones that come stock.

Instructions:

Open BBM 5.0 and start a chat session.
Choose “Picticons” from the menu and select an icon.
Press the trackpad, trackball or touch screen to insert.

Simple right? Picticons is only 99 cents until March 14th where it’ll then get bumped up to $2.99. Head over to the PocketBerry Store today and grab your copy.
