IBM announced today the availability of new versions of the BlackBerry clients for their collaboration products:

BlackBerry Client for IBM Lotus Connections 2.3
BlackBerry Client for IBM Lotus Quickr 1.0

"Specific enhancements built into the BlackBerry clients for IBM Lotus software for Connections and Quickr

With BlackBerry Client for IBM Lotus Connections 2.3, there is now support for Blogs, Activities, Bookmarks, and Communities, and an enhanced Profile information capability including pictures. The richer integration with BlackBerry core applications makes the application appear as an integral part of the BlackBerry device, and is easier to use.

This is the first BlackBerry client for IBM Lotus Quickr in the market and with it the enterprise users can perform most of the key activities from their BlackBerry devices that they would wish to do when working with documents.

Navigate and view library contents
Designate libraries as "Favorites" for fast access
Sort and filter folder contents to highlight material the user wants to find easily
View file and folder details - when and by whom it was created and modified
Preview documents via the BlackBerry Attachment Service
Download and check out documents for editing
Check in documents, in addition to or to replace older versions
Organize documents in new folders created from the BlackBerry smartphone
E-mail document authors with questions
Send a link to a document or folder rather than sending the entire document"

I find it interestingly that this announcement is just one week before Lotusphere (and not at Lotusphere). My interpretation is that these are only peanuts compared to the news announced next week in Orlando...
