hope that is true. I had major issues last week with the group option totally blowing up my bb.

My Tour bricked after installing this update. This is after a fresh install of the Verizon "approved" 4.7 Os last week. Anyone else have this issue?

my its the verizon OS thats messing things up. not allowing unreleased verizon crap to install on it.

I tried to DL this earlier, and it DL'd no problem, but then said there was some error that wouldn't let it install... I've got .33 currently, and I think I'm going to stick with it for a while longer... I don't really feel like risking loosing my spell checker option...

Is it really a Verizon issue tho? Since I already have .33, how could they possibly block an update to an existing application that DL'd no problem?

My tour also bricked. I downloaded it over night and woke up this morning with a bricked phone.

Some people are reporting that the spell check is missing with this build? Is this so? I have the leaked .55 build with spell check intact. I won't dl the official until this is confirmed.

yup spell check is GONE! BB needs to be contacted ASAP on this issue!

Tried to download it last night, finally downloaded after 15 minutes and after that i had no messenger installed. Went back to app world and the .55 version was gone and the .33 was back.

cheezy

I updated last night on my 9700 and my messenger wouldn't act right. Everytime I wint into a group it froze my phone. Also, some of my contacts deleted. I think I'll stick with .33 until they make major changes because my phone was/is fine.

Installed and working on my 8900... took a while to download over EDGE but it's working w/o a back up

 
 
Posted by sizzlethemonster Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 789 days ago

Everything is working for me

 
 
Posted by dalebanks Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 789 days ago

BBM has been giving me fits when I'm in BB Groups on my Blackberry Bold. Not sure what exactly went into this update but no more lagging.

I can do without the spell check.

 
 
Posted by davidnyc Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Still have spell check on my 9700.

 
 
Posted by j.lu Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Working fine in my 8120 and wifes javelin.
The only good thing is the pic preview.
spell check is working for me

Anybody had any issue after downloading this update? I reboot my tour every morning by using Quickpull. When I got up this morning, the BBM was gone from my device so I had to reinstall it.

 
 
Posted by cwhitet Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

My spell check is also gone now...Gonna reinstall and see if that fixes it.

 
 
Posted by evaca21 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

I installed new BBM and my icon is gone I see some of you had the same problem what do I do?

 
 
Posted by webb6377 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Tour 4.7.1.61 - no spellcheck on new BBM .55.

 
 
Posted by Snypa Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Has anyone noticed any major Difference over.333?

 
 
Posted by ElPedro625 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Same here, no spell check sucks

 
 
Posted by CSmooth Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Mine is working fine on the Verizon 8330..What are the changes in this version of bbm though

 
 
Posted by INKGUY79 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

works on my 9530 no problems yet just downloaded it.

 
 
Posted by jevon96 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Just wondering of you noticed any differences with new bbm overall. I'm also have 9530 storm running on 5.0 os

 
 
Posted by lipa123 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

All of you who claim to still have the Spell Check in .55 are probably running a leaked OS Ver 5

On my Tour OS Ver 4.7 (with the built in Spell Check as you type) the New BBM 5.0.0.55 the spell check is GONE!

To roll back to bbm 5.0.0.33 go to http://www.blackberry.com/select/bbm/download.shtml

 
 
Posted by Teddyp6 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

I have the official download, i don't do the leaked stuff. Yes, I still have spell check.

 
 
Posted by lipa123 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Sorry, the Link is http://www.blackberry.com/select/bbm/download.shtml

For the BBM Ver 5.0.0.33

 
 
Posted by Hymiee Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 787 days ago

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE LINK TO GO BACK TO PREVIOUS VERSION!! :-)

 
 
Posted by zeelob Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Upgraded no problems...spell check is still there

 
 
Posted by Macneil_S4 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Downloaded this over wifi last night in seconds to my 9700 w/.296 OS. Spell check is still there also, running smooth as can be...

 
 
Posted by Teddyp6 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Spell Check still intact after the download on my Bold 9700

 
 
Posted by BAziz Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

when i do preview a picture, it comes up really small and distorted, that i have to eventually save the picture if i wanna see anything. anyone else having this problem?

 
 
Posted by Skinnygirl Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Iv'e had this problem since I DL'd the .33 version, the first day it was released. I was hoping that the new DL fixed this. Drives me crazy. I used to send pix all the time through BBM. Now i just send them MMS.

 
 
Posted by MagicMonkey Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Running this w/.421 OS and its just fine here.

 
 
Posted by MNGolpher Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Installed this update on 3 VZW Tours (running most recent Official OS)last night and all were successful. This update fixes many problems that the .33 release had however it lacks spell check for some odd reason.

Voice notes are now automatically accepted!
-Gives you option to play or save

Picture preview is back!
-Send and receive picture is much faster and there is no lag in downloading the picture

Spell check is no longer integrated.
-Don't know how this slipped through the crack but the spell check feature does not work. I'll defiantly deal with this over the poor send/receive of pictures and voice notes of .33

 
 
Posted by bigwillie Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

this is weird. it downloaded just fine through App World. But it just sits there and say it is installing. i don't know what the issue is. I am considerind deleting the previous version and then seeing what happens.

 
 
Posted by BootlegZani Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

After reading the multitude of comments from Tour owners I think I will skip this update until all the issues have been worked out. I have the newest Official VZW Tour OS and am not in the mood for a half broken BBM or even a bricked Tour.

 
 
Posted by FrekeyZeeky Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Downloaded on my verizon tour running a hybrid 5.0. Took a while to download but everything is working fine. I haven't noticed any difference from the original 5.0 to the new version except the auto-voice note accept.

Oh yea, my spell check works fine also

 
 
Posted by leafs123 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

spell check works on tour...also if you click on a contact's name on top of a convo, you can change their display name on ur contact list. you can put whatever name u want or keep their default contact name

 
 
Posted by bballsct1212 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

just installed works great! sends and receives pics a lot faster!!

 
 
Posted by CobaltGirl87 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

I'm not seeing the spellcheck on the 8900. I purposely said "waht" and it didnt correct it or anything and no option in the BB menu to correct it.

Also, I dont know if this is true with others, but I REALLY missed the preview option, however, with this one, it doesnt show up any different then it did in the actual chat window. like i can see anything?? no.

 
 
Posted by scotrailboy Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Just downloaded, error message the first time, then downloaded again and now it works with no problems,
Only difference I can see is it runs really fast with no lag.

 
 
Posted by heybr1an Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Posted by smiley83co Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

are able to send pictures easier and without problems, automatically brings contact your pinning to the top, brings up a better list for choosing picture sending

 
 
Posted by Kathy145 Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

Am I missing something....I can no longer find the spell check option. Please Help!!!!

Thanks!

You know . . . I just wish that Blackberry Messenger could handle IMs and what not.

AIM, yahoo, MSN, Skype, GMail all that crap. Then they could save some room . remove the other apps. AND put a few companies out of business ha ha!

They could call it BBMPro if they wanted and sell it for $5.00 OR even free. And just OUT do all the Crappy IMs :(

 
 
Posted by DanielVox Tuesday, Dec 15, 2009 788 days ago

… Error while installing …. GO FIGURE ! ha ha ha and I want them to make an ALL in one app .. HA yeah right!
