Popular online storage solution Dropbox has just launched its BlackBerry client as a limted beta. The app, compatible with OS 5.0 devices, already was gobbled up by the 500 user slots for testing. Those that snagged a copy are reporting that the application is similar to the Android and iPhone client, but is still missing some key features like the ability to upload non-picture files, the ability to delete/move files, and the ability to manage folders.

The Motorola DROID 2 is now being seen by Verizon’s oh-so-helpful reps, albeit in 2D form on a computer screen. This means that the device should launch in August as rumored.
