BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.65

There are many OS leaks and among them is the BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.65. Some BlackBerry users think that these leaks are intentional to enable some early testing with real users, while others believe they really are leaks that somehow got out into the net.

Regardless, the BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.65 has been extracted from the Tour OS and an OTA made which you can now download and load into your BlackBerry. Prior to loading any new application, users should make sure you backup your current contacts database. This is a standard practice for any new software application, always do a backup. Try out the new Messenger from the folks at RIM right now.
