BBM 6.1 updated in the BlackBerry Beta Zone to v6.1.0.37

BBM 6.1
BBM Icons

The latest beta release of BlackBerry Messenger 6.1 has now landed in the BlackBerry Beta Zone for testing, if you've been testing out the previous version -- you'll want to go ahead and give this one a go as well as it has quite a few bug fixes in it. Though, it also contains quite a few remaining ones as well, so keep that in mind.

Fixes:

  • If you changed the options for recent updates, the maximum number of recent updates shown might not have changed.
  • If you turned on content protection and if you're using BlackBerry 6.0 or 7.0, you might not have been able to forward a BBM contact.
  • If you shared an existing appointment with a group from the Calendar app, a duplicate appointment might have appeared in your calendar. 

Again, the changes are rather small in comparison to the 'known issues' -- so make sure you read the full list which is available as a PDF download. Otherwise, you'll find the download available in the BlackBerry Beta Zone right now.

Last time I had a BBM Beta on my phone (Bold 9650), I couldn't access BBM on my Playbook. Does anybody know whether this Beta connects to PB?

The First BBM 6.1 made my 9360 SUPER SLOW I Couldn't even move, is this one still slow?

I'm using a 9360 too and this update seems to have fixed the lagging/freezing issues.

Guys,
Can Anyone post a mirror link or share the download link for those of us that don't have access to the Beta zone?

 
 
Posted by Bilaal Monday, Dec 12, 2011 155 days ago

Not possible. You can only download Beta apps from the Beta site using the mobile browser, which identifies your PIN and you recieve an individual Keycode which is used to activate your copy of it.

u still need a beta code

 
 
Posted by panterarck Monday, Dec 12, 2011 155 days ago

Can't do that since the key code is generated for a specific pin. Sorry.

Posted by ritesh Tuesday, Dec 13, 2011 155 days ago

Is anyone having problems with the key code? I tried downloading twice but when pasteing the key code it will not accept it. deleted the old version first as well.

 
 
Posted by mandy03167 Tuesday, Dec 13, 2011 154 days ago

same promblem keycode wont work

 
 
Posted by cdnharry Tuesday, Dec 13, 2011 154 days ago

Figured mine out when I cut and pasted I must have included a few spaces at the end that it did not like. I deleted the I accept right up to the key code and it worked.
