They just keep on coming.

 
 
Posted by Yosaki Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Yeah, i'm hoping this will fix the bbm outage. I'm downloading it right now.

 
 
Posted by Macneil_S4 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Hmm just thought of something else, NOW if only OS upgrades would come this fast too lol, I think everyone would be happy...

 
 
Posted by HollyDay Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Another update - AGAIN?!!

 
 
Posted by r1ckynutz Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

im super srs!

 
 
Posted by tight_grip Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

too many on coming out

 
 
Posted by Dafunkhead Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

that the outage occurs and this gets released...

 
 
Posted by the brother Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

let's do this. bugs noticed on .56:

- when taking a pic from your BB camera and trying to send said pic to a BBM contact and instead of flipping back to the pic itself it goes to that BBM conversation!

- did this version start shrinking pics again? i liked the 'preview' option but there felt something 'buggy' about this version when sending pics in a conversation

anyone else noticed strange happenings? oh yeah and i think the issues with BBM today have been kinda ongoing since the .56 roll out...but it might just be me?!?

piece

Just downloaded the new update. Download was REALLY slow, but no problems with the d/l or install. But BBM still isn't working. :(

Also downloaded the new 2.0.1 version of Beejive. That was a much quicker download.

 
 
Posted by tour_berry54 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

with all the outages im going to try to get it now hopefully without a side of fail sauce x)

 
 
Posted by cenloe Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Got it, no noticeable difference though

 
 
Posted by keysteele Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

It didn't take longer then usual for me to download,BBM still not working.

 
 
Posted by HollyDay Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

...please. RIM needs to get their act together with the BBM, this is ridiculous. Plus, there are no noticeable changes (I hear). So what gives? How about an OS update for the TOUR instead?

 
 
Posted by sweetjen83 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

I agree, an OS update for the Tour is what they need to be working on. I wouldn't be surprise if there is another update for BBM next week or the following week and again with no noticeable changes.

 
 
Posted by HollyDay Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

This way, RIM feels like they're actually "doing" something. Lame.

 
 
Posted by ekyle125 Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

how about an upgrade to Android :p NO BIS servers there

 
 
Posted by tj_elward Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

still getting just a checkmark with no D/R but then again i think i'm the only one who just got.57 so i dunno bleh

 
 
Posted by keithsuth Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

i am in the same boat. sent an SMS to my girlfriend to update, but she's driving...

 
 
Posted by bards Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Tried downloading this but the download bar hangs at 203kb, and eventually pauses itself and tells me to check my network settings.

 
 
Posted by Pederson Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Seems like they're overloaded. Can't even load download page.

 
 
Posted by smoothwis Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

do u people read? there is a bis problem also a bbm problem that means downloads dont work some places, god noones reads anything

 
 
Posted by BBBandit Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

I sure wish RIM would get the picture thing figured out. I have this program now that the pictures don't send like they used to.

 
 
Posted by MRCUR Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Just downloaded it through App World. The download is the fastest I've ever seen, so I'm guessing it was going direct through WiFi and not proxied through RIM.

 
 
Posted by MRCLrider Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Just downloaded through Appworld too, it did go fast for being such a large file. I guess we will just have to wait and see what little changes might have been made.

 
 
Posted by triton54 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

mobile download link is dead on my bb....?ota anyone?

 
 
Posted by docmphd Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

This is like the 3rd update in a matter of a few weeks. WTF, talk about poor software development!

 
 
Posted by pedro116 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

might be time to get an iphone

 
 
Posted by ronyuho Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Very fast downloading from my carrier here indosat ...
But not noticed the different with previous version

 
 
Posted by pedro116 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

the download from app world was fast but it didnt work

 
 
Posted by StraightWisdom Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

after the last two updates... my BBM was acting very slow

 
 
Posted by marco146 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

downloading............

 
 
Posted by JaeKar99 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

All data connections lost... phone works fine - 1XEV - pointless. Outage is seems to be getting worse for this part of th world.

 
 
Posted by DavidNC Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

I got the BBM.57 a few hours ago by going to blackberry.com/messenger and it downloaded pretty fast, but probably because so many was not able to acces it . Doesnt matter its not working now for me either its like I am the only one on , lol no answers or group messages anymore coming tho.But I did bet the rush :p Looks to have installed fine my group and contacts still there.

 
 
Posted by SuperWario89 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

i got it using the browser, not app world. downloaded fast, installed fast, didn't lose any contacts or anything. i haven't had any problems with any of the recent bbm updates, in fact i haven't had a software issue with any of my apps since i upgraded to 4.7.1.61. on my tour

i'm on Verizon (in connecticut right now but normally i'm in philly going to college)

 
 
Posted by BAMpage Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Am i the only one who has been having problems for a while now? My BBM has been trippin for months. Messesges don't deliver, but then if I ping contact or send another, it's like the first one will get delivered!? anybody got any advice?

 
 
Posted by USSZulu Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

...until they get BIS back online.

Of course I don't think I have a choice! lol

 
 
Posted by cboekhoven Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

SO with this nasty outage i was able to download the update for BBM.i did it AFTER the outage via wi-fi on my 8530 and now i go to download the upgrade for Pandora again via wi-fi and now it does not work. and i know its not my router because im able to make this post.....WTF

 
 
Posted by jgemma Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

bbm went out so i tried downloading the bbm update...it downloaded and then it told me there was a problem installing it, then i lost my bbm completely....RIM needs to get their shit together immediately or i'm chuckin the bb

 
 
Posted by jeniferlynne Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

i have no internet due to the outage .. how would you like me to download this useless release?

 
 
Posted by latingeo Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

Yes let me download the new update ohhhh wait I don't even have Internet either is their patch for that too, this really blows

 
 
Posted by IRepTheKing Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 882 days ago

Posted by Short2003 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 882 days ago

The link isnt working for me?!?!?1

 
 
Posted by m_jameson1 Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

you are kidding right? try typing in google.com......20 bucs says that is a "dead link" as well.

THERE IS AN OUTAGE!!

 
 
Posted by Rhaven Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 882 days ago

ok, I must be seriously in duh mode but haven't gotten any emails for a week (even tho the email account IS connected), not getting any notification of missed calls and can't get any updates/downloads (says USB update for Curve not available). What am I missing here? I'm about ready to toss this baby out to the trash :/

Thanks in advance for any help... :D

 
 
Posted by evorc Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 882 days ago

Stop complaining!!! they will keep releasing updates until bugs are fix. Simple as that stop complaining if it is such a big deal then don't f'n update no one cares stop posting here!!!

 
 
Posted by bb-rookie Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 882 days ago

I bet they keep updating and sending out because when they try and fix bbm and add cool new features it ends up being leaked anyway. So they probably figure mine as well just release it little by little with every fix and every new feature. Or maybe I'm wrong and need to stop thinking... :)

 
 
Posted by asetiawan Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

guys i have DL it and it works qiet well, just need to b patience that's all and its fixed the issued from the BBM fritz that happened last view days... give it a go...

 
 
Posted by MRCLrider Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

its 5:37 here in SW Ohio and I still can't get this to DL properly, BIS seems to work bc I have web back, but I get a DL fail near the end, WTF??

 
 
Posted by wesamelmaksoud Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

The download started just fine here in the UK, but somehow I'm stuck at 3139/3161 KB for roughly 10 minutes now!!
Is that a good sign??

 
 
Posted by alisonpsu Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

try pausing and resuming the download. that worked for me. :)

 
 
Posted by Hey_Daniel Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

Downloading now....Happy days... Whats changed?

 
 
Posted by shelleyrn Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

I downloaded the newest version of BBM and now once I rebooted my phone the ico disappeared........what do I do?

 
 
Posted by nyparkchic21 Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

So I just downloaded the new BBM 5.0.33 and I LOVE IT! Then again, I didn't have 5.0 to begin with, but now I see what all the hype was about. :)

 
 
Posted by jsamiof314 Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

I just downloaded the ugraded bbm, took a couple trys, it kept failing.

also, now that i have it downloaded, went to remotely recover my bbm contacts and it never gets past "checking email status"

This is getting pretty rediculous.

 
 
Posted by proeser Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

Lost all contacts and when trying to recover just have "Checking email status..." with nothing more than that.

 
 
Posted by kitkat517 Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

Well I attempted to dl the new bbm, end result it deleted ALL of my contacts! I have had better luck with the leaked versions then the actual releases. This is becoming extremely frustrating!!! Did this happen to anyone else?

 
 
Posted by romajr86 Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

Im trying to download ota with my BB but it cant connect to the internet! Ahh!

On the link to the BBM Download, all I get is this on my pc "Downloads via a USB connection are not enabled for this product. Please visit our mobile download site at using the browser on your BlackBerry® smartphone."

Can I get this over DM?

 
 
Posted by Marcange Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

Clearly annoyed at this update as all fonts have been reduced in BBM mostly status msgs are like a size 6 font. Also to end conversations an annoying msg pops up to confirm ending a conversation. I am downgrading to the old bbm 5.33

 
 
Posted by jmckeever Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

not having success in being able to download or then install ... and BBM is no longer in view ... good thing it's a slow day ...

 
 
Posted by alisonpsu Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

anyone else have an ongoing problem with downloading apps and app world saying there isn't enough memory to download an app? even just an upgrade like this?? my available application memory is up there (13.5MB). i barely have any apps downloaded but when i try to download the BBM upgrade (or any upgrade for that matter), it's saying i can't. it's getting pretty frustrating. anyone else?

 
 
Posted by MRCLrider Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

Anyone seem to be missing pictures from people in your messenger list?? Can't figure it out..friend and I have tried everything we can think to try..oh well...not that big a deal, but worked fine yesterday before this upgrade.

 
 
Posted by ricardomreyes Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

all my contact got lost after the upgrade any idea how to get them back,
i try the remote back up from the server but it taking forever and is killing my battery every 30 minutes.

 
 
Posted by chrissycee1975 Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

I am having trouble updating BB Messenger with the new update. It keeps saying "download failed" when I try to install it. It takes WAY too long to download the update.

 
 
Posted by mijinkiyo Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

I downloaded this early in the AM and all went fine. Tried to download it on another berry today but I kept getting a HTTP 500 error. I've had several issues related to outages since I have had my BlackBerry and it's honestly making me think that RIM does not have their sh*t together. I am seriously debating going to another brand.

 
 
Posted by pardytime Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

This update bricked my Tour! I am so glad to not have a phone for two days now!

 
 
Posted by catlint Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

Ever since I updated to this version, my messages wont delete in the message folder! The one time I somewhat got one to delete, there was a blank space where the message was, and would not go away. I have done a battery pull, and a soft restart. Really annoying.
Didn't have any issues with .55

 
 
Posted by tphannon4953 Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 881 days ago

Looks the same to me finally got it after 12 hours I did notice my battery life got better again all day till now I have half battery. before by mid day my battery was almost dead well now let hope they come out with an official 5.0 for my bold.

 
 
Posted by BBVzwTour83 Thursday, Dec 24, 2009 880 days ago

whats up with all the BBM??? I cant even install .57.... its like not working at all. I get error msgs and it goes back to .56.... i'm so tired of this

 
 
Posted by je1930 Thursday, Dec 24, 2009 880 days ago

just downloaded version 5.0.0.57 and bbm is not diplaying profile pictures for my contacts. and i checked my buddie bbm and my profile pic isnt showing either. is there a setting i can change or is it a bug in the bbm itself??
HELP

 
 
Posted by ChadBurr76 Friday, Dec 25, 2009 879 days ago

My wifes BB just does Email and BBM. We don't have BIS or BES on it because it's not needed. Now I can't Update her device via BB Desktop Software because BB has decided that the update will be OTA only. Thanks for thinking of us RIM

 
 
Posted by LOY80Y Sunday, Dec 27, 2009 877 days ago

anyone notice any differences with this update?

 
 
Posted by rcoley Sunday, Jan 03, 2010 870 days ago

Since I have upgraded to the latest Messenger I notice that at times I cannot reply to bb chat messages, I have to close the chat and send as a new chat after waiting a few minutes. What's that all about as this has never happened on any other version of messenger. Anyone else had this problem? Or any solutions?
I'm on Orange UK.

 
 
Posted by rachelmw11 Saturday, Jan 09, 2010 864 days ago

Ive been trying to get the update for BBM and it won't let me this time because I dont have internet usage. I did the first one but now the phone company is sayin they have to switch my plan for 24 hrs and I would incur charges! BS! I just want the update to go away..how can I get it on here!?

 
 
Posted by Jaybird-flys Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 846 days ago

So my remote backup.. doesnt seem to backup with 5.0.0.57?? it says it does and then if i restore contacts i am missing like 10 of them...
Avatars show for 6 of my contacts and only 2 of them update when they change them.. the others just stay the way they are...

will any of these issues ever be fixed??

 
 
Posted by joeboo151 Sunday, Feb 14, 2010 828 days ago

Has anyone come up with a fix for the ghost typing? When typing in 5.0.0.0.57 all of a sudden I can’t see what I am typing and the only fix I have found is to pull the battery

 
 
Posted by sufyan farouk Friday, Aug 13, 2010 648 days ago

I use bold 9700 which has a messenger version 5.0.0.57, upon down load of the latest version 5.0.1.38 the messenger dissapeared and I can't find it any where in the what do I do?
