Research In Motion yesterday makes it even easier for customers to manage conference calls on their BlackBerry smartphone with the release of BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing version 2.0.

This innovative and popular free app includes a number of enhancements, such as the ability to automatically turn an email thread into a conference call using the user’s conference bridge details.

According to a release by the company: BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing automates tedious and error prone tasks such as dialing into a conference call that could include multiple main numbers, a conference ID and other codes, with a simple one-click “Join Now” prompt, as well as the ability to quickly reconnect if dropped from a conference call. The app also integrates with the BlackBerry Calendar allowing users to quickly and easily schedule and join conference calls directly from within the Calendar. Users can download BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing on BlackBerry App World™, and organizations can automatically push the app to their users through BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
