BlackBerry Desktop Manager Version 5.0.0.8 Officially Available to Download for All By Adam Zeis | 17 Jul 2009 08:35 | 
57 comments
It seems we've seen BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0 pop up in the blogs quite a bit the last few days. First it showed up on the CD shipped with the Tour, and then it popped up on Verizon's site a few days later. Users who didn't have the CD or a Verizon phone number were sadly out of luck. Well now its "official" - BlackBerry Desktop Manager is available for download from BlackBerry.com for everyone. This is the same version (5.0.0.8) but it is available in multi-language or with/without Media Manager. Head over to the BlackBerry software downloads page to grab a copy.

gonna go download this now
Version 5.0.0.8 Official! Yes!
Why are 'job title' and 'company name' required fields in order to download this from blackberry? While I do use my 8900 for work, I own it - not my job.
I think it's just a standard thing RIM has. I leave it blank as it's my personal BB.
I'm downloading it now. I think this time around I'll avoid Media Manager :)
I was wondering the same thing when I got to the job fields...its my BB not my job's! Oh well. Just do it!
you didnt need a vzn number to get it though. i used my ATT number and it worked
Sweet, thanks!
nothing really new here. probably just alot of background stuff.
Just installed. It's actually Version 5.0.0.11 dated July 1st 2009.
but is it ready for the storm??
where in the world is my mac version? This is just ridiculous...
Im downloading it and going to find out the hard way, but ready for 9530 and any possibillity of hitting my girls 8330 with it too?
Did it work for the curve?
I just checked my Verizon Account and they still show v4.5 only. I have a VZ Curve 8330.
I'm finding that 5.0 takes 1/10th the time to sync my contacts/calendar, compared to 4.7. Does anyone else have the same experience? Any other feedback?
Just tried following the link, and then, alternately, tried going to blackberry.com and navigating through to the desktop 5.x download page -- same error...
:(
I set the download and when i came back i only had an 8kb file saved. redownloaded it and...
internal server error!
deng! I'll have to try again later.
I downloaded it, rebooted as I was instructed, DM came back up and is still saying v4.6 - I guess I was not meant to have it...
I had the leaked 5.0.0.8 for a while and loved it but I wanted to see if the official was different. When I downloaded and installed, it was! It now shows up as 5.0.0.11!!
Let me know if I'm missing something....
Loyal crackberry storm owner.
This version doesn't seems to include Blackberry Desktop Redirector. I guess gonna have to keep my 4.7 version.
Sorry guys, should have read the earlier post from runlcc. Sorry.
I installed 5.0, and before that I did the usual uninstall routine. I'm now having problems trying to make DM connect via Bluetooth (it was working fine before using 4.7).
*Edit* - It now works with my BT dongle. Once DM 5.0 was installed, I had to uninstall/reinstall the dongle using the generic Windows drivers, delete my device from both Windows and my Bold, and then try and re-pair.
It seems sync-ing time is a bit faster.
dang,all I had to do was go to connections in dm and check the bt option and everything was good,the connect with bt is off by default
I have been trying to download it all day. It keeps freezing for hours and I have to start all over again. I was successful around 8 am, but the program wouldn't run and kept giving me error messages. :o( Not happy at all.
what are the benefits of this?
When does RIM plan to update Pocketmac? This software simply does not work and is pure junk. It's a shame that MAC users are always treated like second class citizens.
does this work with the 8330 with sprint?
came to my computer today as an automatic download and I went ahead and did it. Much faster at syncing. probably ten times faster so sure worth doing to me.
Get back to me when they release a Mac Desktop Manager. :)
I've downloaded this new version of the manager but it will not allow me to sync my music from wmp. It crashes every time. HELP!!! By the way, I have a new install of windows on my pc so i'm pretty sure that's not the problem.
I downloaded it, DM says v5.0 in the corrner but will only reload .148 to my storm.. Any help, would appreciate it!
I downloaded it successfully and went to sync with my BB but nothing happened. The phone and PC synced but nothing looks new at all? Anybody else experienced this??
Installed easily. Issues with Synchronize when trying to sync both ways from MS Outlook. Receive error code: No available message stores. To be fair, I believe this issue is due to Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Technical Preview rather than the Blackberry Desktop Program. I would be interested in hearing from anyone else running the MS Outlook 2010
DM 5.0.0.8 crashes during the calendar portion of the synch. It just closes the application without further hint. Anyone else experiencing this? It syncs the address book just fine, as far as I can see.
5.0.0.11 Just check for updates and it should prompt you from there.
For keeping me abreast
5.0.0.11 is out too. My 5.0.0.8 automatically updated to the July 1 release .11
I saw this update was officially out, but wanted to wait till I read some comments first before installing. When I fired up DM (4.7) this morning, the update was waiting to download and install. Took the plunge!
Installation was slow and required a restart. Visually it looks the same as 4.7. However, the sync was much faster! I like it! No issues syncing with Outlook 2007 (Calendar, address book and memos) on my Sprint powered Curve 8330.
What is new with the 5.0? What is the difference between 4.5 and this for the Curve 8330?
I upgraded but I am not sure what I have gotten better with. Other than losing an hour of my time.
Verizon always tells me that they only support the version that has media manager included. For whatever reason, that media manager always kills my Vista system. So, I always download the version without the media manager directly from RIM.
Just a reminder to VZW customers - there are alternatives to the junk that VZW promotes. :)
Verizon updated me to 5.0.0.11 last night
I was pushed an updated copy of BB Desktop Manager yesterday. When I checked, I found it is 5.0.0.11.
YOu might want to update your post.
Sparks
its awesome. the new barcode thing is rele cool. loving it :) thanks guys! genius's lol
that we now have the choice with dm 5.0 to NOT have roxio media manager.
I just got a auto update message from my desktop.
I'm downloading DM 5.0 now. I received the message around midnight C.S.T. 7-19-09
I really didn't notice much in the interface, but the sync speed has improved tremendously. I have over 3000 contacts in outlook, and the sync took less than one minute. Previous versions would take 5 minutes to go through all of the contacts.
It won't run on Vista 64bit. Says, "it's not a vaild win32 application". I searched for a specific 64bit version but am unable to find it. And I thought that DTM was comp. with 32 and 64 bit windows. Am I wrong here or am I doing something wrong?
I had my laptop connected by Bluetooth to my Storm and when I upgraded to DM 5.0 I lost the ability to connect by Bluetooth. I uninstalled and reinstalled my old version and still cant get BT to work.
Thanks, CrackBerry for keeping current.
For all the "Beginners" out there:
Download and install DM 5.0 first.
The TMO site provides DM 4.7, but it will NOT work when you are trying to upgrade software. I kept getting a error message.
In summary, use: DM 5.0 and the TMO upgrade OS 4.6.1.231.
