Blaz1e  over at crackberry posted this little gem a couple of weeks ago. BlackBerry has a hidden country flag feature in BBM 5.0. So I decided it was time to revisit this feature.

To add a country to your name, a friends name, or a message in BBM, just type *asterisk (the country 2 letter code) *asterisk and then hit the space bar. So it should look this *us* , that’s it… 

I posted a few countries I knew of off the top of my head with their names. I also included a list of all the available country codes. As you find your heritage country, add the 2 letter code to the comments to help other members of the BlackBerryDreamBlog Family.

*US* USA

*BS* Bahamas

*JM* Jamaica

*CU* Cuba

*HT* Haiti

*PR* Puerto Rico

*CA* Canada

*MX* Mexico
