Is this the one that's been in beta zone a while?

Yes sir! =]

 
 
Posted by melissaryyy Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I think it's updated a bit from the Beta one... gonna test it now!

 
 
Posted by datta72 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

The Beta Version is currently at 5.0.3.13

 
 
Posted by ericlc2 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I just installed, I can't see any obvious changes -_- could be because I just woke up though...

Hahaha. Good one

Funny my BBM version is 6.0.0.31

 
 
Posted by jonp Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Mine shows 5.0.1.49 even when I do the RST...

Same here.

I'm on 5.0.3.13 in beta-schmeta. Someone please say it's snappier! I'm begging you, please.

 
 
Posted by mscooley Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

What we have should be newer. I have 3.13 from Beta Zone too.

 
 
Posted by skyboxer Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I've got 5.0.3.13, from the beta zone I think

I've got a BB, but none of my friends do. Isn't BB Messenger for BES mostly? Is it a null and void app for me?

 
 
Posted by king_tut Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

WOW!!!!

 
 
Posted by KrizM23 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Lol, bbm is pretty much the only feature that differentiates a blackberry from the competition and its definitely the best messaging app you'll ever use :d.

 
 
Posted by sk8er_tor Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

BBM will work for anyone with a BlackBerry data plan(BIS or BES).

 
 
Posted by Auli Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

You can add if you want to pm if u wanna know my pin , it doesn't make sense if you have a blackberry but not use bbm

 
 
Posted by msholland Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

mine just updated yesterday to 5.0.1.41 Hmmm!

 
 
Posted by jdaclutch Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Currently using 313 from the beta zone.

I hope BBM goes cross platform soon. I've signed up and started using LiveProfile which isn't quite as smooth and efficient as BBM at the moment, its support staff is very responsive about fixing user issues. The best thing about LiveProfile is that I can stay in touch with friends on other platforms in a BBM like environment.

 
 
Posted by iChace Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I don't see an update

 
 
Posted by Namueab Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Just checked app world from my Torch and mac, says the most current version is 5.0.1.49

 
 
Posted by bibeberry Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

i cant see the update even when i reset it.

 
 
Posted by jlb21 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Seems much zippier

 
 
Posted by flyguy33 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I'm running 5.0.3.13

 
 
Posted by mnATL Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

if i have 5.0.3.13 from beta zone, is there any reason to get this new official update?

 
 
Posted by theonecid Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Highlights of BBM v5.0.2 include:

Simplified sending of pictures and voice notes

More user-friendly wording and organization in menus

Support for a simpler, one line view of contact list

Support for both deleting an unsent chat message (Shift-Del) and escaping out of a chat while retaining an unsent chat message (Escape button)

Posted by sk8er_tor Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I think that list of features is old and applies to the previous version as well.

 
 
Posted by RyMac04 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

is there a way to do the ALT+RST thing on a Storm2?

 
 
Posted by Sashko Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Yes, the answer to your q lies here: http://tinyurl.com/4e6n4pg

 
 
Posted by akarmaka Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

just got the update, it fixes the cursor issue that most people seem to be having with OS6, so yes, the cursor is back. other than that, haven't noticed anything else.

 
 
Posted by sbejo Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

same here.. I only notice about the cursor fixed

 
 
Posted by greyhd Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

5.0.3.13 is the beta zone version which might be the next upgrade to BBM if we find ways to improve it, but from the reviews it seems this official update is similar to the one in Beta zone.

 
 
Posted by newcollector Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Like others have posted, couldn't find the update. However after doing the Alt+RST thing and waiting for it to reload...only getting white screen...I closed that window, went back to the link from my phone and hit the link. This time the update showed up.

 
 
Posted by SkaterGuy2k Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Chat seems much smoother, and cursor is back YAY

 
 
Posted by jonholmes Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I updated appworld, but no signs of BBM update. Suggestions....?

 
 
Posted by SkaterGuy2k Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Try ALT+RST if that doesnt work try a battery pull, I went to my apps clicked on BBM and it said update available. However I have had to wait a few hours after everyone else before I was able to upgrade other Apps.

 
 
Posted by beware96 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

OTA link?

Its just stupid that you can not use appworld when roaming and you have 3G data off, RIM really need to sort that out.

 
 
Posted by greyhd Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

If its not in App world I usually try the web site.

www.blackberry.com/messenger

 
 
Posted by SC457 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

that worked for me since the update didn't show up in the App World even after the ALT R S T.

 
 
Posted by InnerChild Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I found it by going into "My World" from the App World menu, then clicking on BBM in my list of apps. It then asked if I wanted to update. Loading now...

 
 
Posted by s5sahil Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Already on BBM 6, so no point in updating.

 
 
Posted by i2ollingstone Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I have a Bold 9650 running BBOS 6 and that was running BBM v 5.0.1.41

I'm not sure there is a BBM6 yet. You may want to check your application manager and see what version you're actually running because just having OS6 doesn't mean you have BBM6

 
 
Posted by tibbdor Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

no there is actually a leaked bbm6 i downloaded it but i need a keycode so i uninstalled it

 
 
Posted by InnerChild Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

If the cursor you're talking about is when you're trying to edit by sliding that little window around and it jumps all over the place...

I can now move it smoothly one letter or space at a time and it stays where I put it. That seems to work better.

 
 
Posted by babyjudy8040 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Sorry I think I'm missing something mine says I don't have an updated and the current update it 5.0.1.41.. And I'm to date.. Do I need to restart my phone?thanks

 
 
Posted by adicktuz Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Is this available to all countries? I can't see it on my phone's App World, so as to the link given above, even on a laptop.

 
 
Posted by dmcd09 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

...the official blackberry website, if it doesn't appear in app world ! Simples

 
 
Posted by SC457 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

It showed up as an update in app world as well as an update for blackberry travel app.

Hello fellow addicts :-) (i know im not the only person on here who refreshes crackberry homepage many times a day) I have a question. i have been reading about people having the BBM 6.0 on the phones but is this for real? cause i have not seen one single pic to support this. i have seen the post on bbleaks and the option to download but i cant cause i have the storm2. so where ae the pics?

 
 
Posted by ryanluckyderek Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I have it and it is a leak and a rip out of the new blackberrys. http://www.blackberryempire.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=3625 have a look. You need to be a beta zone member. blackberry messenger beta tester and get the keycode for your pin and tada. You will have to download the messenger OTA. Hope this helps I would send screen pics but you will have it soon enough.

 
 
Posted by pink_rosebud Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

I downloaded the upgrade and it told me to reboot, I did but it didn't work? I tried it again numerous times but it comes up with : an error has occurred while downloading. please try again later.
this has been coming up for about an hour, I've tried to it again and again and also turning the device off
help please!!! :)

Posted by Slinkee4423 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

for Tour 9630 according to RIM

 
 
Posted by Blade_27 Tuesday, Mar 29, 2011 420 days ago

Just downloaded on my 9100 with the Rogers network in Canada and it's working fine. I've noticed that the option to broadcast pics STILL hasn't been re-added.

 
 
Posted by jpro757 Wednesday, Mar 30, 2011 419 days ago

I dont like this version for one simple thing. It does not allow you to enlarge the profile picture of you and your contacts. The profile pics are too small Im use to the bigger pics. I placed the same character in front of my display name but pictures did not change.. Please help

 
 
Posted by davidwipf Wednesday, Mar 30, 2011 419 days ago

Ya it does. Works good on my style 9670. BBM version 5.0.2.12.

Works good on my style 9670. BBM version 5.0.2.12. Got no problem enlarging contact dislay pictures

 
 
Posted by ochidi Wednesday, Mar 30, 2011 419 days ago

The update has actually made the dp small. Tried taking the inserted character out and replacing it, but it did not work.

 
 
Posted by The Consigliere Friday, Apr 01, 2011 417 days ago

I updated & now I can't send OR receive a BBM, great, anyone know where I can find the old version??

 
 
Posted by kevindel21 Tuesday, Apr 05, 2011 413 days ago

Ok so the update does exactly what I really wanted! What it does is in the OS 6 it has the announcement like you get for an email or text and you get it in that area, you guys know what I mean, hopefully lol.

 
 
Posted by teebone0202 Thursday, Apr 07, 2011 411 days ago

I just downloaded 5.0.2.12 on my 9330... and now my Icon is gone...Im using OS 6.. HELP!

 
 
Posted by mghblkberry Sunday, Apr 17, 2011 401 days ago

Just downloaded and installed new DTM 5.0.2.12. It seems to work a bit faster during media sync! That's good, right?
