BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0 Included with Tour 9630 Posted in News & Rumors on 13 Jul 2009 14:55 by Adam Zeis | 
58 comments
I'm all about surprises - especially when it comes to BlackBerry. Trying to backup my Tour for the first time this morning, I came across a few errors and started to get frustrated. I couldn't figure out the exact issue, so I decided to remove my current Desktop Manager (4.7) and do a fresh install. Rather than download it again, I pulled out the BlackBerry User Tools CD that came in the box from Verizon in hopes of making a quick install. After running through the menus and starting installation, to my surprise I noticed Desktop Manager 5.0 installing (version 5.0.0.8 to be exact). Very cool considering the software isn't even available on BlackBerry.com yet.

So close; yet so far away...
I didn't even check that yet myself, sucks that I have a netbook without an auxillary cd drive
now if they would just release a version for mac
just get the missing sync. it could be months before pocketmac is updated to work with the tour and missing sync is way better anyways.
I have heard that Desktop Manager for Mac should be available in late August.
If that's the truth...that would be the best thing I've heard all day. It has taken them long enough...
The only difference between the Mac version and PC version (from my understanding) is that the Mac version won't have the BES support at launch.
Your not kidding...... give us Mac users a break for crying out loud....... We are people too......
Looked for it to download via http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/download.aspx?ct=personal and nothing is listed for the 9630 (yet)
so how long till we get a RapidShare link again? :)
+1 for uploading this puppy.
Uh...
What's wrong with the link that's been around for the last month?

Ummm other than I totally missed it? Probably nothing. Damn work getting in the way of my Crackberry time.
The leaked version has that Roxio garbage built into it, with no easy way to remove it.
Is it worth upgrading to? What are the advantages?
man, they just blew past 4.8 and 4.9 then eh?
Not really. The next OS after 4.7 is going to be 5.0. There was a post here somewhere about the current updates to DM 4.7 were to allow it to recognize 5.0 OSes. For some reason they went ahead and gave the Tour the 5.0 branded version instead of the updated 4.7. Supposedly there aren't any new features.
I spent all day trying get my Tour working with our BES. I think the problem came from me using the Device Transfer Wizard in BBDM 4.7. I didn't even bother checking the CD.
Does anyone know if the desktop mgr 5.0 is avail for the Storm 9530 as well? i backed up yesterday but i didnt see any avail updates so im just wondering so i can locate the upgrade..
Did anyone else have that problem? I know it's probably my machine, but I don't know what the issue is. Any help would be great.
I dropped the CD in the drive and it pulls up a Grey screen and does not do anything after that. I tried it on 3 different computers so it has to be my disk
I'm staring at a gray screen now. I have XP. Any ideas why it won't work???
My CD just opens a window that's all gray.
Running the executable from Explorer fails as well.
Has anyone come up with a solution yet?
I need this berry great app
please land it in my lap
make my storm a brezze
and I will always say please.
Thank you.
I think you left a comment on the wrong board - lol! This is a comment board for the 5.0 DM that comes with the new Tour, not the buzzme contest.
are there any new features on it that make it worth using?
Syncing is quite a bit faster. Other than that, not much.
I didn't have any luck running the CD on my computer. I'm running 64-bit Win7 and 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04. I'm guessing it's probably only going to work on xp/vista.
Yes, I too have heard DM5 for Mac is coming "extremely soon" -- which I interpret to mean anything between tomorrow and 3 months from now.
Does anyone have the release notes for DM5, detailing the precise differences between it and 4.7.0.37 ?
Is this that same one that shadylife2 posted??

cool...but will it work with my storm. I added my wife's to my 4.7 with no problem...what'll happen if I upgrade?
Holy eff. I really fall in love with this website more and more everyday. I also tried to backup my Tour last night and just ended up going to bed, I was so frustrated. I am downloading right now!!! Thank you so much. Will update once it is actually on my phone with the changes I notice!
When will it show the differences from 4.7 - 5.0?? I thought the BBM and e-mail and stuff was supposed to look different?
yay
i had that software on my desktop about 3 months now they were do a beta test and i got the software.
I was equally and plesantly surprised to find the same thing and not only that but after I downloaded all my apps new again that I had on my 8330 Curve I went to do my first backup and found many updates to the Tours applications and anything to do with the OS so that was cool.
Today was my first day putting it through its paces with a freshly charged battery and at the end of the day with normal use, I had not much to do today as it was slow at work, I left with 60% battery life so I was a bit surprised at that.
The only other small thing I found is that I learned by talking on the new Tour I felt a vibration in my palm which turned out to be the plastic battery cover so if all you new Tour owners look on the bottom of the door you will find a bit of a bow or very slight space enough to make it buzz unless you turn down the volumn.
You would think with such a beautiful handset they would have used the same design door in metal.
I am very impressed so far and a little hint for all of you wondering where the call log went unless you take a call or make one and when it ends you see it only to never find it again... Go into the messages folder which I have on seperate, Open it and scroll down to "View Folder" you will find a list of folders one of which is labeled "Call Log" select it and you can view you incoming and outgoing calls.
Until next time folks, Hope you are having as much fun wioth your Tour as I am.
Peace Out
How annoying. I never open the CDs, I always download. Oh well, it works. I will wait for 5.0 unless someone tells me there's a huge difference.
People don't rush to upgrade, this release prolly is the same as previous releases, only compatible with 5.0 OS's.
good find.. I didn't even bother running the CD because the label still have "copy right 2006", so I thought it was an old CD they just throw in with all BBs
my 5.0 mustang is pretty fast. traction is a problem on the streets tho.
I'd love to try 5.0, but I'm one of those that got a disk that just crashes. I tried just running the executable from Explorer, but it just keeps crashing in XP.
Anyone find how to get the CD to work properly?
I found 5.0.8 downloaded and installed it and my licensed to is blank...interesting!
You guys really need to learn to search and read before you post:

Go bust chops on another forum, this one is for questions or constructive comments. Chump.
that version was infected with the Roxio crap, with no way to not have it install, or to remove it.
loading now Thank you sooooo much.but alittle to late i just wiped my storm to sell on ebay and with 4.7 i could not tranfer files....now you tell me :)
yeah when i got my tour i saw there was a disk but didn't install the desktop manager because it was running slow. But that would explain why i kept getting error messages. Thanks for the heads up
Get the pussies a surprise, they love a surprise! And don't get any of those awful combinations!! (An Old Quote)
Desktop 5.0 is pretty cool though the media manager cannot bring down digital movies from iTunes, yah?
