when is threaded sms gonna be incorporated...?...haha....COME ON :-\

I am really into the new bbm , no problems like the new look

so um when is the official BBM 5.0 coming? cause im ready

if your BBM is set up to blink the LED every time a message is received, there is a minor annoyance where if you do not apply focus to the new message and instead enter a message, the yellow arrow on the previous message does not turn clear and LED keeps blinking forever until another message comes from your friend and you apply the focus.

does it use the camera?

I am loving the new BBM! Just a few minor problems with it stalling but besides that, seems to be working fine. I am sure the official version will be even better.

why i cant see the pictures

yeah i like it i just wished that the avatar would show with people who arent your contact. Like regular people on your bbm thats not on your contact list.

where is the recent update section shown above? i don't see it on my BBM 5.0. Using storm 9530

how do i get the cool "bb" characters? whats the prompt for that?

I like the new features especially the barcode scanner cause it shows that the camera on bb is capable of doign alot more than what is already available to it

I also have a Storm running .148 and I don't see the recent update bar either. Hmmmm. . . .Any thoughts?

i donno i guess i am a fan of the old one.
it looks more like threaded sms and the new 5.0 seems to lag alot with me and sending messages.
i think i am going back to the old one again, i had no gripe against it

You can put your buddy's status on your home screen with an icon... It shows if they are away or available... pretty cool i would say!

When I change status to Busy, BBM still ringing. In older version of BBM the sound was silent, anyone with this issue?

Also, in adress book is showing status (like in GTalk, Yahoo messenger etc).

How many of you had success with BBM 5.0 on the lovely Tour?

new emoticons are ugly as fuck!

DPs doesnt work for me ..

alot of bugs , sometimes messages doesnt arrive to the receiver only after 15 mins maybe ..

barcode didnt work ..

im uploading my barcode to facebook. That way, people can just add me on there. easy, right?

@crackberrybold

works great on my tour, i can't wait for the rest of 5.0

One of the happiest BB days in my life :p

Spell Check is functional! That's what I'm talking, err, texting about!

When you send a pic you can either send the whole pic or only part of it by cropping it. Very nice feature

Has anybody else noticed this? On my Storm I usually have an average discharge rate of somewhere between 0.5% and 1.5% per hour depending on what I'm doing but with the new BBM it's running at about 4.5% per hour! Fully charged battery this morning and 8 hours later I'm down to 58%. I hope this isn't something that is going to happen with the official release!

I cannot wait till the 5.0 comes out!

No mention of QR-Code scanning? That's got to be the single coolest new feature. While you can click on "Add a Contact" and then "Scan invitation barcode from another Blackberry" to add someone to your Contacts, you also use that scanning feature to scan a nearly infinite amount of QR-Codes (see http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ to create your own), or advanced bar codes that can contain phone numbers, web addresses, predefined text messages and text strings.

Can't wait for this one to be official!

could some one tell me what "threaded SMS" actually is. i hear the term used alot, but i have no idea what it actually is or does. thanks

If you use UberTwitter it will make @usernames links automatically inside BBM 5.0.
By clicking on a username you can get their timeline or follow/unfollow. Pretty nifty way of integrating the two.

this would be great to have

If you use the bar code scanner on the image of the bar code supplied by the post, the phone recognizes it and opens the bb browser to xkcd.com!

I'll take a copy with an order of fries! Thanks!

I've tried to stick with 5.0 for a while now, but I'm going back to 4.7. 5.0 is laggy, and just flat out doesn't work all the time, which is sort of the point of BBM.

Does anybody know whether there is any difference between the BBM 5.0.8 and the BBM 5.0?

I noticed there are two different versions floating around?

I've been hearing that the delivering problem has been solved, can anybody confirm this?

I noticed the same problem Sunday is happening this morning with the confirms. Receiving msgs from others is fine, just sending them is hit/miss.

I tried it and its a sweat app but way to slow...Iam going to wait on the final release...Anyone know where the RIM version is?

Broadcast message feature was on my original BBM 4.5 on my Curve and in BBM 4.7 on my Storm. I don't think this is a new feature.

I love Bla1ze's avatar. ;)

On the old BBM you could only broadcast a message to contacts that you had an open conversation with. On this new version you can broadcast to whom ever is in your contact list even if you dont have an open convo going.

2 every1 havin issues with bbm 5.0 go 2 your phone options>advanced options>Host routing table hit the bb menu button and click register now

How do i see my wife's avatar when we r chatting? I have an avatar and so does my wife but her's won't show up on mine and vice versa.
Thanks

Sure to be a shock to some people as they receive their cell bills after out of country roaming - photos go over BBM at FULL RESOLUTION.

This is a massive change.

With the previous version of BBM you could view a picture that was sent during a conversation without saving it. It seems like you can't do that with 5.0. It was a nice feature.

the only thing they did not discuss is the location option. How do you get it to work every post I send and choose the location a message appears that states that it cannot establish a connection. Tha has been my only question but other than that it works great.

Can't wait for the final version, checked out the leaked and loved it but went back to the original after having issues with some of my contacts.

hiii I was able to download new BBM...when phone rebooted my BBM icon is missing i went to options and check under apps and BBM version 5 installed...How can i install a Icon..

someone plzzzz help me

I still can't get this POS to install gives me the the desktop software won't find it. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

i donno if anyone came across this , but i noticed if you swipe your finger to the left on a convo that you have with someone it will ask you if you wanna end the chat.. just thought to post it out there for those who didnt know :)

on the storm that is :D

I hope they put this out for the pearl flip. I was very disappointed when I had to download it for another device and alter my JAVA files to get the sucker going.

I installed the new 5.0 bbm on Sunday but had to take it off because my messages were not being delivered all of the time. Some would take up to an hour to deliver and I never got the confirmation of them being delivered or read. I've read all the post and some say they are still having issues with it. I just want to know if people are still having these issues. i have a storm on Verizon. Thanks in advance.

Only issue i've encountered is trying to send a pic to a messenger contact. it's not working.

I had the same issue Sunday morning as well. I think it was a system issue that only had to do with 5.0 or something. I was able to get messages from everyone but couldn't send to those with the old bbm. Worked with my friends who had gone out and gotten 5.0 though. Was weird, I backed everything up and hard reset and its been working fine since.

Is anyone else having issues sending or receiving messages to users using the old bbm still? I just don't want to put it back on again only to then have to take it right back off. Billy27596, are you still using the new bbm or did you switch back to the old version?

has anyone been able to get it to work with OS 5...140?
