Service Pack 1 for BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0 Released

Service Pack 1 

RIM doesn't often offer "service packs" for Desktop Manager (they usually just release updated versions) so we're not sure what this one entails. The software is listed as Service Pack 1 (5.0.1). Just some minor bug fixes and not a whole lot of upgrades in this release.

  • User interface for using your device as an IP modem
  • Support for new fields on the address book for your device
  • Enhancements to the synchronization process for organizer data
  • Support for Greek and Hebrew languages
  • Support for Windows(R) 7 

Head over to the BlackBerry Software Download page to update. Be sure to let us know if you find anything else new.

I had an error message the first time I tried. I just backed up one page, then clicked next again and it's downloading now as I type.

RIM trying to be like microsoft. Long way to go. Start by getting flash player to BB first.

 
 
Posted by Jonezed7 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Start with the 5.0 OS being released.

 
 
Posted by boman06210 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

5.0 has been released, for the storm only tho

 
 
Posted by allupnya68 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Storm83, I coundn't have said it better myself. Work on getting flash not svc. pack.

So is the windows 7 support just saying it's now "officially" compatible (not like it was ever at all incompatible) or does it include any new functions like jumplists etc.

I'm at school right now and won't get to download it till later.

 
 
Posted by mookish Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

It took a few tries but it will download...

 
 
Posted by chriscook.sv Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

does this apply to us MAC users too?

 
 
Posted by Yandar Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

No MAC. Windows only.

 
 
Posted by tory_237 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Mac*

Here is a rapidshare link for those having problems DLing, just plain slow.

Why cant they get text wrapping to work on here Grrr.

I dont like posting shortened links as you never know what you are clicking on.

Posted by dankblaze Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

This link is useless, it says you have to have a premium rapidshare account to use. I hate that people are always trying to build their rapidshare points, UPLOAD IT TO SHAREBEE.COM OR MEGAUPLOAD!

 
 
Posted by MrPat Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

And i hate people that CAN'T read a webpage. You DON'T need a premium membership, just to be patient 90 seconds.

 
 
Posted by dankblaze Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

You are indeed a moron, The 90 seconds is not the problem, when the free slots are all used up it tells you that you must have a premium account. Get a brain.

We must have crashed their servers. I tried to download DM and it would keep giving me a Proxy Error message.

 
 
Posted by cdulong Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

That is what I am experiencing.

 
 
Posted by jackie treehorn Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

This is ridiculous. I can't even get to the download page and the other posted in here is giving me a 45 eta to full download. This is crap

 
 
Posted by markj73 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Is it just me or can RIM not manage their servers very well?

BIS outages and they can't even host a file without crashing the server(s)...

 
 
Posted by BBThemes Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

now where it used to show my pin at the bottom, it now shows the model and pin, i.e blackberry 9500 xxxxxxx
nice little touch

 
 
Posted by violatizzle Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

turns out the application won't even let me install once I finished downloading this crap on vista. Says it's not a valid Win32 application? wtf

 
 
Posted by SeaDuck79 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

I had the same thing happen! WTF indeed!

 
 
Posted by cthomas1440 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

More than likely your download didn't finish completely. Look at the file size and if this is the case, try the download again.

link on bb.com keeps giving me error messages

 
 
Posted by fraunhofer Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

mirror anyone?

 
 
Posted by maizein Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Is it worth using Desktop Manager 5.0 at all? I heard if you like to use Beta OS's on your BB, the best DM is 4.6. I once had problem upgrading the BB OS using DM 4.7, so downgraded to 4.6.

 
 
Posted by BBpixie Tuesday, Oct 27, 2009 836 days ago

I had trouble installing OS using DM 5.0 so I went back to DM 4.6 which works perfectly for installing OS's on my BB 8900. I'll test the DM 5.0 SP1 after I read more reviews on it.

 
 
Posted by coopsachillin Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

I have bb 8900 on T-mobile and i was wondering if this upgrade will work for me... im new to bb so help me seasoned bb vets.

 
 
Posted by tory_237 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

If you're running Windows then this is for you, it doesn't matter what carrier. But if you have a Mac you don't get an update :P because I have a Mac and tried downloading it lol

 
 
Posted by bradbogy Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Since bb download page is screwed for now and the rapidshare free slots are used anyone else going to throw it up on another file host?

Purty please?

 
 
Posted by coopsachillin Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Good thing I have both! ha ha, but i have another question, when i get to the linked site it gives me 4 options, multilanguage,w/ or w/o media manager ( which im pretty sure i dont need and english w/ or w/o media manager. Whick one should i use I have no idea what this media manger thing is...

 
 
Posted by SHANTURN Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Looks like RIM servers are overloading. I was gonna try later on. But now it seems to be downloading, but it is slow. 26 mins for 220MB on Broadband

 
 
Posted by Wooginator Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Link doesn't work for me...502 Proxy Error.

 
 
Posted by Hairbear1954 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Continue to get a proxy error from the website. Poor RIM. Can't keep up with all these downloads.

 
 
Posted by coopsachillin Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

I'm still confused as to which one to use, and it IS taking forever to load up the pages

 
 
Posted by sumikefu Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

i just got through to blackberry to download! looks like they fixed the problem

 
 
Posted by coopsachillin Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Do I need the media manager verison or should I go with the other version?

 
 
Posted by Yandar Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Non media manager is fine. Drag and drop all your files instead of using the slow and buggy media manager.

 
 
Posted by streetdegree Monday, Oct 26, 2009 837 days ago

Installed.... it updated my Telus storm to the latest OS 5.0.0.323.
Works perfect:)
