*UPDATE*- Seems this one might go official. It's showing up on the BlackBerry site

*UPDATE 2*-Officially released version now available, will be avail. in BlackBerry App World.

Another day, another BlackBerry Messenger leak appears. This time we have 5.0.0.55 now available for download. Remember folks, these are all just maintenance releases if you have a working BlackBerry Messenger now, not any huge changes will come from installing the leaked versions that are showing up.

This one is for OS 4.7 and up like the last one and remember to back up your contacts before installing. If you get errors on the download, try again later or wait for a mirror to show up in the forums or comments.

Posted by MRCUR Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Works just fine. Rebooted and everything appeared again once I agreed the the EULA. Nice job on the leaks this week!

Posted by sooks Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Posted by ceepee Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Posted by martivera Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

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

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

Posted by Snipes Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Posted by eBud Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

...a 907 cod error comes with each and
every download.

Posted by HellKatzX Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Are you using Wifi? I was having this issue and I was not aware that you can't have Wifi on. Worked for me at least!

Posted by ki2594 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Upgrading now, well downloading via the mirror.

Asks you repeated "do you want to replace this module questions"

is everyone getting that?

Posted by DaBear5 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

yup thats normal

Posted by DaBear5 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

I wonder how many people are bothering to upgrade at this point knowing another one will probably be leaked tomorrow. lol

Posted by devGOD Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Why does it not say Research In Motion? is this someones hack up version of BBM5? I like leaks but I'll wait for the really thing

Posted by evorc Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

this is the same as the official one....

Posted by evorc Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

RIM = Research In Motion..... it's ok.lol

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

research in motion is the company that made the phone you are using....jeez this community gets dumber by the minute

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

@katiepea

I know that was an honest mistake, but you're not looking so bright right now. =P He said why does it *not* say Research in Motion. And the answer is because the OTA link was put together by someone else from a RIM leak of BBM.

Someone add me to their BBM PIN 24B183F7. I don't think any of my messages are going through and want to test it.

Posted by prince-ali Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

This is now available from RIM. I just downloaded .55 directly through RIM and it worked on my 4.7.1 Tour.

Posted by jayarh Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

thanks, this leak wasn't working for my tour. nice find

Posted by jsanta11 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Wow nothing was announced good lookout .. thanks

Posted by chayes995 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Now official for the Storm1. Went into the BBM and it prompted me for download.

Posted by DUKDIKz Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Posted by bunsen Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

This is the same build that shows up for me when I downloaded BBM from mobile.blackberry.com 5 min ago.

Official for Tour.

EDIT: I'm not the first to notice I guess.

Posted by soul2k Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Posted by JT.Thomas94 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Glad it's working out...

I had the same problem, downloaded from the link posted here, it did not work and the icon disappeared. Went back directly to RIM to see what they had available - and it was .55 - except it downloaded and worked immediately with no problems.

Posted by s2kneSs Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Could the next leaked version be version 5.0.0.56? Just a guess. Lol. They need to release the real sh!t already and give us something new for a change, lately I've been feeling bored. I would love a customizable bbm with different color themes or backgrounds for the chat screen area etc.

Posted by duck383 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

rim just released the official .55

Posted by casperkaroff Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

This is not a leak. This is a official release. Go to http://blackberry.com/messenger from your BlackBerry. Not yet updated in App World.

Posted by DingleBerryKTM Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

Did they fix the photo sending function in this one? In the old BBM you could send pics really easily and could preview them without saving them first...in bbm 5 files sometimes expire when you send them and you have to save it first before you can view...it sucks. I hope they fixed it on this version. Anyone else have this problem with bbm 5??

Posted by yaw1800 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

just got a notification from BB App World to upgrade.. you can get it from there

Posted by username0001 Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

i am only seeing .33 in app world.

Posted by ceepee Monday, Dec 14, 2009 789 days ago

I just realized on my wife's Tmo 8900 running 4.6 she has full picture preview.. on my Tmo 9700 running the latest leak.. i get that shitty tiny picture view. any experts out there know why this is?
