I liked the beta program for 6.2 but hopefully the next one has a new interface but they might launch that with BB10 and call it BBM 10...

Already got it! Wonder if these constant updates have to do with pb bbm coming...

When you go into My World just hit the BB button and click on "Refresh List". I had to do that as well for the update to show.

Looks the same to me

RIM just PLEASE keep updating EVERYTHING!!
(to show respect to your loyal customers, and to win back / have a reason for new customers)
Please hear my prayers!!

So how exactly is it easier to send voice notes back and forth? Seems to be the same as before...

If you have not got it go into Blackberry Appworld and hold down ALT +R+S+T and if that still doesnt allow you then go to www.blackberry.com/bbm

I find frequent updates annoying. Why send me updates every other week!? I'd rather a release every 3 months with MAJOR differences. Sometimes BBM doesn't import all my contacts and it's a pain in the a**
I know what some ppl will say though. "Then don't apply every update". I don't :) Just expressing my frustration with seeing minor updates every 2 weeks

Actually, it is the random small rewards that feed the addictive personalities we all have.

You can always ignore them... at least this way we know that RIM software department is not on crack or drugs...

Same thing happens to me. On a Bold 9900.

I tend to hold off on most updates of any app, just to make sure it doesn't drain the already limited life of my 9900 -- made that mistake a few too many times with beta apps and have been caught without a charger :(

Meh, seems like the same to me and I was running the beta .40 as well.

The only issue is , when someone sends a broadcast , you will receive it in BLACK
anyone facing the same problem ?
jamalalf Apr 18, 2012 at 2:37 am
I am :s
coldman75 Apr 18, 2012 at 2:02 am
Tq RIM.....now i cannot use BBM using my Playbook....hope next update i cannot use the "bridge" at all....
jamalalf Apr 18, 2012 at 2:37 am
I'm having issues with broadcasts with this new update.
Broadcasted messages appear as normal black text, rather than the usual purple colour.
Am I the only one?
Joltcola1234 Apr 18, 2012 at 4:24 am
Another 5 megabyte update. BBM always has huge updates for microscopic improvements...yay :S
Alooi Divona Apr 18, 2012 at 7:43 am
I'm facing the problem of receiving broadcast in black in this version and when I was using the beta one ..
Now I've downgraded the bbm to 6.1.0.71
x_xSADx_x Apr 18, 2012 at 9:24 am

ade_tobat Apr 18, 2012 at 8:12 am
This new update really giving me lots of prob.. Everytime i tried to send bbm it took forever just to get delivered n yes everytime i get broadcast msg the font colour is black..!!
x_xSADx_x Apr 18, 2012 at 9:15 am
I think in this update the broadcast became on black color !!! I HATE that i hope they will fix it as soon as possible cause i really hare my BBM when i see black color on BC plz fix it. Thank you
JackKennedy Apr 18, 2012 at 10:58 am
difficult to say it matters anymore...I hardly have any colleagues and friends who use BBM that there's really no point in using it anymore
dworld4u Apr 18, 2012 at 11:14 am
once you go black(berry) you never go back
I thought this update was supposed to fix the problem where the bbm message shows on the home screen on ver. os 7. buying a lock for bbm is useless because you can always access bbm from home screen when you receive a message.
why havent they fixed this yet? I believe the beta version had this fix, well at least it said so on the notes .
pastorbrad Apr 18, 2012 at 2:46 pm
Looks exactly the same. Animated incons? Where the heck are those?
