BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 Now Available!

Im experiencing problems with location sharing on bbm. Can someone post a link to a thread that is already started. Its is on a 9700 bone stock/no apps installed except bbm/ and it cannot send or receive locations! thx

not able to download BB messenger through link

So with the old BBMessanger I never had a single problem with file transfers but ever since I got the new one it always times out whether or not Im the one trying to receive the file or I am the one sending it. The phone I'm sending it to or trying to receive from has the same version of BBMessanger and is the same exact phone (a storm). Any help in resolving this would be great!

i had the same problem getting past the user agreement.
I was trying to access via QL. Could not accept the agreement. I went to Instant Messenger folder and accessed it from there and was able to accept the agreement.

Does anybody know how to send photos without the other person having to "download"?? kinda annoying, when the older version you could just view on screen and save if you wanted to. PIN me if you have suggestions. 24b4e97a

verizon official OS

got a 552. thanks RIM.

I have a blackberry storm, and have recently downloaded the new version of BBM. Has anyone else experienced the problem that when I am viewing my list of contact, and I try to hit the button on the bottom of the screen to either add a friend, view their contact info ect, all it does is scroll further down in my list of contacts. UNTIL- of course, I am at the bottom of the list and then the buttons work perfectly. It is almost as if there is no button sensitivity? I brought the phone to Verizon yesterday and they told me they would replace it for me (with a refurbished one of course) and I obviously dont want to do this for a silly problem. Any suggestions?

I have tried to download the new BBM and when it comes time to accept the user agreement, I can move my trackball to Agree but not click on it. Anyone else having these problems? I have a 8310 and run OS 4.5

So I tried downloading the BBM 5.0 and it said it was successfully installed but I can't find it anywhere. Tried rebooting a couple times but not working. Any suggestions?...

Hi guys, since I download the new and official version of the BB Messenger, my battery is not lasting more than 8 hours, is this happening to someone else? Is there something wrong with this new BB messenger? Thank you for your help and support!

SCREW sending files on this new messenger.. i hate it..

I can no longer add or receive invites from new contacts. I could before I downloaded the new version. Very frustrating!!!

I own a Storm. Is anyone else having a problem with displaying a BBM Contact picture ENLarged? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I unistalled the new BBM, and then re-downloaded and installed it, again. Still, the same thing is happening. Lemme know if any of you are experiencing the same problem.

Thanks.

this sucks, every picture needs to be saved???

I have a BB 8330 Curve with Verizon Wireless and I wanted to know if the option to share what you are listening to is available on this phone. I noticed it is available on the 9630 Tour with Verizon Wireless and 9530 Storm. Just wondering if it is for OS 4.7+.

Will there be a .zip file for this for those of us who need to download via desktop manager???

Has anyone tried downloading this on OS 4.5.0.110? The description says it works on OS 4.5 and up but I've read some reviews that mention glitches with lower OS.

Does anyone know if there's going to be a desktop download available? Unfortunately my data plan doesn't allow me to use my browser :(

I have the same problem as trinibaj1966.i am having the exactly the same problem.It works for a while but after a few minutes i am not able to click or select anything using the trackwheel of my bold.anyone has a fix for this?

I can't seem to get this app to work on my storm. It would respond fine for a little bit, then when I select and click on anything it would do nothing. I've installed and uninstalled several times, to see if it would make a difference. But that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions?

is 5.0 not available for sprint curve 8330? it keeps saying its not avail...how do i get around this????

CURVE 8330 4.5 INSTALLED NO PROBLEMS RUNNING AND FLYING!! Been waiting for this for a while now, had the leaked version, took it off to wait for the official release, now i got it and LOVE IT!!! I recommend to everyone!

From your local theme builder
Peace I'm out!!!

installed 5.0.0.230 on my 9630 Blackberry Tour and the icon disappeared, did battery pull (well actually left alt, right cap, & del) and voila it's back and works perfectly - in fact if you own a Tour, I recommend upgrading to os 5.0.0.230- it's awesome and fast and everything works, myspace, facebook, ubertwitter, pandora, slacker, bbm 5.0.33, all my videos & songs, & appworld
sprint navigation doesn't work - but that's all I can find that doesn't work-

hi, ran into some trouble yesterday with bbm5 on my Bold running latest leek os and quick launch. I use quick launch to open bbm on my berry and it always crash, after reading some comment on blackberry os about it I found that quick launch and bbm5 were not compatible(if you use QL to open BBM) otherwise no problem.

I feel this one is better than the leaked one a month or so ago... WHOOWHOOO

I can't get past the license agreement. I have tried everything, even removing bbm. HELP!!!!!

Will this new update work on the 8310???

i just installed on my 8900, and I can't view recived pics and voice notes from any of my contacs, once i click on view my screen shows me a blank (pictures) and when i click on play (i get a blank and this message "unable to show content"

Well i just downloaded it. First and foremost i had to go to the Blackberry website on my browser, on the curve it is freezing in app world. And now that i have it i just dont know what's so different about this this versus the cracked leaked one that came out a few months back. Maybe i can be educated.

I have an 8900 with standard tmobile software.

Installed bbm 5, and now I have "Reload software 552" error.

Install at your own risk

*UPDATE*
It seems that the "set alert" feature is still there, but it only works for when you have a contact pending (waiting for autorization) I should also point out that it works for my contacts running older version of BBM, I havent been able to get it to work for contacts with BBM 5.0 though. I wish it worked the way it used to, which was that it would alert me when a contact finally read my message.

OK, so no red or green availability dots, and no proximity alerts, I can live with that. Has anyone noticed that the "set alert" option is gone ? Wondering why I have the option in "sounds" to set a ringer for BBM Alert, but I dont have the set alert option to be notified when a contact reads my message. This was a feature I used alot in the previous BBM. Noticed it was missing in the BBM 5.0 beta too. Any thoughts ? WTF RIM ??!!!

The only thing that sucks about this version is that the length of characters I can leave for my status message are cut down significantly. The leaked bbm 5.0 (5.0.0.8) let me leave a lot longer statuses. Someone find a hack to this! : )

How do I delete a group or "category"??

its been running perfectly since yesterday on my 8900 on OS5.0.0.238. I have to say, I love it! been playing with it ever since!

Donwloaded the new BB Messenger and rebooted my BB Bold, then in turning it back, there was no icon. I went to the about section and it says it's on the phone, but there is still no icon. Had my roommate send me a BBM and never received it. My phone is an unlocked T-Mobile Germany Bold, anyone help please! Thanks.

I got it to work on my curve 8330 verizon running the beta OS5.0/hybid.
From the BB brower go to www.blackberry.com/messenger, follow DL prompts, reboot and presto!

Today is awesome.

I am using the leaked V5.0 for the 8330 and the BBM is working.

We miss the proximity alerts...it was great for knowing when someone was close enough so you could start a meeting or dinner, appt, etc...used it all the time.

Running good on curve 8900 4.6.1.114

How do you get the cool bb logo next to your name?

can somebody confirm that it is safe 2 download bb5 from the website 4 the tour without getting bricked? i also downloaded it from app world , got bricked and spend 4 hours getting everything back :( dont have all that time 2 do it again.. so can ppl plz confirm it is safe?

I got BBM 5.0 yesterday. Then wiped and installed OS .230 on my Tour and reinstalled. It shows that it's installed, but I cannot for the life of me figure out where it is or run it. I can't even run it from BB App World. It brings it up and shows that it's installed. But doesn't give me the option to run it like it used to. I must be doing something wrong. Anyone?

My Bold (AT&T) is running 4.6.0.207 - a valid AT&T release. The OTA upgrade took place. I could not get past the screen which is the legal BS-warning before you Accept or not, the use of the app. It just stayed there.

Ultimately I had to downgrade and remove the new version.

?

My tour was stuck at the dreaded 552 error after installing BBM 5.0 from app world. I did a restore using the desktop software and had a somewhat recent back up. Just have to re-install 3rd party apps. Because I'm stubborn, I installed it again - but THIS time heeding suggestions from this article I installed it from the blackberry website using my phone. No problems at all doing it this way but wish I had checked in here first - would have saved me a couple hours. Thanks to all who shared their experiences.

this crap erased all my contacts.what the hell!

No beta or prerelease anything on my Bold 9000.
Last night tried to install BBM5 from App-World.
No error messages, but on reboot,I also got the white-screen with Error 552.
All attempts to recover were futile.
Fortunately, had a backup from 3 days prior, but it's a royal pain reloading the OS.I'm fairly certainI've omitted a few modules. My BB feels sluggish now.
And now trying to track down previously purchased apps has been painful.

There are a tremendous number of reports of this error.I'm surprised it hasn't been yanked already.

I really want to upgrade, but after last night's experience I'm afraid to try again.

How come we haven't seen any more official statement about this error?

I downloaded this to my 8330 Curve using Verizon OS 4.5.0.138.....and it works flawlessly. *BIG* sigh of relief - I was hoping it wasn't going to brick my phone. ;) I've already set all my pictures and sent a broadcast to my contacts about the new update. Way to go, RIM!!

just downloaded on my curve 8900 from appworld a nice step up from previous messenger

worked as described...
downloaded from blackberry.com/messenger
Pearl 8100 on Rogers running OS 4.5.0.102
long download and reboot, but up and running now !

thought everyone forgot about updates for the lowly Pearl !

Hey not sure if anyone has experienced this problem, but I downloaded bbm 5 from app world unto my girlfriend's 8100 but she's unable to receive messages but able to send...

I have also tried sending service books and registering the device and rebooting...

any suggestions...??...any would be greatly appreciated...cant seem to find anything on this issue anywhere

Lets go

WARNING DO NOT DOWNLOAD BBM5 FROM APP WORLD IF YOU HAVE CURVE 8900...IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE...DOWNLOAD IT FROM WEB BROWERS AT BLACKBERRY.COM/MESSENEGER......unfortunantly i learned the hard way but now i have it

You have to check the OS software on your Pearl 8100 and make sure it is the correct/latest version. I installed the leaked BBM5 on my wifes Pearl 8130 after I upgraded her OS to the latest one and it works great.

Same thing here with version, had 5.0.0.8 and release is 5.0.0.33 is this right? Should I/we have just left the leaked version on there?

i have a pearl 8100...will it work on it or not?

I have been attempting to download BBM all morning. Is anyone else having any issues? I have OS 4.5

i had the leaked version 5.0.0.8, this released one is 5.0.0.33... I dont get it. i feel like im downloading an earlier version

Help...?

I can send mine but I can't request anyones

First, I hate App World. It just doesn't work very well on my Pearl. So I keep trying to download and install and it just keeps freezing. So forget it! I don't need it or want it that badly to waste a whole day trying to get it to download and install.

Started downloading program theu BB appworld. Now all it reads is "starting download". It's frozen. Rebooting doesn't solve the problem. Anyone with an idea as to how to remedy the situation????

i upgraded with no problem... cannot test it, i have no BBM contact lolz.

I upgraded my BBM and it looks good but only have two contacts :( Sucks....

does anyone know if i can d.l the new bbm from my desktop software?

thx.

Now all I need is the 5.0 OS official drop and I'll be very happy for a while

god damn that's alot of memory

update to the lastest 4.6 build your carrier offers, and then give it a shot.

"Starting Download..." That is what it has said in App World for the past 11 hours after first trying to download this. Seriously. No matter how many battery pulls / reboots I do, it still says "Starting Download...". I suppose I could try it OTA, but will my App World forever say it is "Starting Download..." of BlackBerry Messenger?

I see some complaints about the missing green dots. The busy red dot shows when one of your contacts is busy. Thus, it reasons to be that if there's no red dot, then they must be available.

I like it this way, I just "assume a green dot" if I don't see it

I am running .297 on my bold and I just went to www.blackberry.com/messenger and used the OTA link and upgraded.....everything worked perfectly well.....I was initially running BBM5 .8 so i just upgraded to .33....

For those people that are bricking their blackberry by installing BBM5. You REALLLLLY need to learn how to re-install the OS. It's not that hard at all. You need to download the current version from you carrier, or install a beta OS. Use the OS loader program that is part of the BB DM and reinstall it. As long as you have backed up your contacts, messages, etc---you then just have to reload your backup file aftr the OS installed.

Quit wasting our time by posting on here saying your BRICKED IT--YOU BRICK IT, YOU FIX IT.

I ask this because I am running 4.6 device software and upgraded to BBM 5. It went through the download, rebooted, and now BBM does not show up anywhere except Options > Advanced > Applications. It is like it is there but is not cmopatible. What do I do, other than doing a restore to my old version?

Does this version of BBM only work if your device software is 5.0?

It works. I had no problems downloading or running.

Yeah my green available dot is missing next to the contacts. Anyone else?

Everything work fine, except when u sent pict thru your bbm, it is not auto received on destination, and not do size compressed for the pict to the destination. Update display profiles also still not working fine.

Running leaked OS 5.0.0.238 on an 8900. BBM 5.0 installed fine. Contacts still there.

I'm liking the ability to choose the file size of the photo to be sent (like sending via email on OS .238) as on the leaked version it cost me a fortune roaming last month.

Shame there's no shortcut that can be added to a particular contact on the front screen - I saw that in the leaked version although it didn't work for me.

All in all though, it's a nice step up from 4.6/4.7.

Running .297 on my Bold and getting the app errors. I was able to delete the app in the applications screen though so I didn't have to reload the OS or anything drastic.

Has anyone else noticed the green or red status "dot" missing from beside the contacts from this version (5.0.0.33) vs the leaked version (5.0.8)? Other than that, it works pretty good on my Storm running v4.7.0.148...

RIM knocked it out of the park here!

Works like a charm on my Bold 9000 running my stock 4.6.0.282. Love it!

i got the new bbm now, but does anyone know why i can't see pictures of my contacts, they also have the new bbm? can somebody help me please? Thanks

I love it!

awesome

i patiently waited for the official version to come out cause i didnt want to risk messing up my phone with the leaked version but i tried the bbm 5 from the app world and it showed that it downloaded but the program wasnt on my phone. i went to uninstall and reinstall and it messed up my phone.i have a RELOAD SOFTWARE:552 on my screen and idk what it is.so mad rite now....this is on my curve 8900

THE COLORS seem a little too bland..i think i'm going back to the old version if i can find it!

I was using the leaked version and sending a pic over BBM really sucked. You had to save the photo and go through the download process before you could fully view it. Is this the same for the offical version? I send a lot of pics over BBM and it may be a deal breaker on whether or not I download it.

Ok so I finally downloaded the official version of BBM 5.0 and it looks waaaay better than the leaked 5.0.8...I'm just not pleased, AT ALL, that the character spaces for status was shorten by a HUGE amount

Installed the new BBM. Icon didnt show up so I restarted and now I get the wonderful message, "Reload Software 552" good thing i just got to work and will have no phone all day now. what do I do?

Installed on my 8900 with 5.0.0.238. Works fine, but shows only "X" as application name in task manager. :/

its work smoothly in my curve with old 4.5.0.69 version!!
just make my day!!!!!!!!

BBM 5.0 Works fine on my leaked OS

i'm using 8520 Gemini OS 5.0.0.238. having no issue on the new BBM. although when i first rebooted it shows java.lang error something which i had to click 'OK'

I have a curve 8330, Verizon, running the beta 5.0/hybrid OS for the curve. BB App World will not work with this OS (check network connections message pops up when you try to run app world) so i tried to DL BBM 5.0 through the website. The DL failed.

Looks like i have to choose between OS 5 or BBM 5.

I have read alot of the reviews some good ,some bad.I am going to wait a little bit before I get this now. Seeems like it works good for some but others it screws up their phone

hey just upgraded on os 4.6.0.216 from blackberry app world, had no problems what so ever took me 5mins and im loving it!

Was able to upgrade successfully through App World running the previously leaked version 5.0.0.8. Upgraded my Tour and my Wife's 8830. All is working well. Oh happy day!

Can someone explain if its meant to be like that?

I'm running OS 5.0 and I've noticed it combines my sms conversations with my PIN conversations...is that how it works now?

FINALLY!!! It's playing well with my Storm v230... It's soooo purty... I think I'm gonna cry.... j/k. All I need now is Quickpull and I'm all set...

downloaded from the link in the main article. Works a dream so far on my Bold [4.6 version .301]... However what happened to the original Hug smiley....I like it alot...;-)

Pearl Users,
Is is worth the 2.8MB of space? That's a lot of real estate for us you know!!!

OMG Finally! the day has come!!!! soOOoo nice!

amazing i love it

Got the dreaded 552 after installing this. Battery pulls don't help. Running 4.7 and never had any beta or leaked version of software. Going through the restore process now - thanksfully I had a fairly recent backup.

i can't click on the user agreement agree or disagree.... i have storm 9530. the text bubbles highlight but i cant click on them.

Works well with my storm. Best BBM by far :)

Just downgraded from the other 8900 5.0 version I had and it bricked my BB. Got the 552 error message. Wondering why I even did it at all. MF'ing operating system.

works like a charm on my 9530..was lucky enough to get it off appworld right at 8pm.

The sms feature doesn't excite me that much, as the native sms in the leaked .230 is chat style as well..and for some reason the emotes aren't easily accessible through BBM5 (when texting) ... Now i just need to find some group and contact barcodes to scan because that is bad-ass.

Just some info for those out there who got the Error 552 bricked Blackberry after this update... just remember this.. EVERYTHING IS GONE... YOU CANNOT RESTORE ANYTHING.. NOTHING... EVERYTHING ON YOUR BLACKBERRY IS GONE... to get it back in working condition again (clean install).. go to

http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-sys...

i downloaded the new bbm from the bb app world and when i restarted my tour it did not reboot, it says please reload software 552!!!!! does anybody have any clue what went wrong with it? please help me:(

Just downloaded it off the Appworld and I gotta say this is a beautiful update. Did anyone notice the appworld update the other day, gues they were getting ready for this feature.

Anybody want to chat. I'm out of Chicago. 28, Male half black half white. JUST LOOKING TO CHAT. No werdo's stalking me. I only have my WIFE and brother in law to chat with. BORING... If you want to see what I look like before talking you can check me out at vincetybor.com No I'm not a striper. I sing and sex sells :)
304BD0D0

To hell with Rim and their 552 error which BRICKS MY PHONE after this update on my Bold .282!!!! DO NOT INSTALL. BRICKS PHONES!!!!

SICK TO MY GUT WITH THEIR MEMORY ISSUE! **** RIM!

Now I need the instructions to ad some blackberry groups. In easy steps please.

Mahalo

I thought BBM 5.0 was going to have something similar to Google Latitude built in

this is @#$%^&* sweet! tour on .230 and running this official BBM its great!

had the leaked version for a little while, it was nice, but this is A LOT better. downloaded fine through appworld too. only thing i havent checked is if when you send a pic if you have to crop it like in the leaked one (hated that)

will this work on 8350i running 4.6 on boost ?

no probs downloading the official bbm, as i was running the leaked version prior to this update.. no problems installing..

this one runs so much smoother, i like!

I was running the leaked version of BBM 5.0, but now this is a pleasant surprise! I'm McLovin it!

Can anyone tell me how to get the "old" bbm back? Please this is not working for me. At least that one did.

Downloaded from the link and works great. Wow just wish I had more friends with BBs.

If you have previously installed Blackberry Messenger 5 beta, and you download this version from blackberry app world, the full bbm 5 installation will cause your blackberry to crash. Be sure to remove / uninstall all previous bbm 5 beta installations FIRST prior to installing the full version bbm 5.0 that was just released on app world!!!

Im in love with it!...just installed it on my Storm...Works great

The pics for my friends dont show up in my bbm. Is there something I need to do?

I have a BB Pearl 8130 OS 4.5.0 but I want to download the new BBM but I have no data plan at all. Only BBM and Email. Is there a way to download this application still?

My Official Rogers 4.5OS 8310 Curve:

After an eternity to download through appworld. Then after another eternity before it even asked me to replace 4.5 bbm with 5.0 bbm, then ANOTHER eternity before asking to reboot. Then a scary-long eternity-like reboot cycle and......success! No problems. Even kept my contact list!

and downloaded the official

Appworld is so slow. i spent 30 min trying to download and it still didnt work properly after doing it 3 times. use the link. www.blackberry.com/send/messenger it works the best and its quick

I have a BB Pearl 8130 OS 4.5.0 but I want to download the new BBM but I have no data plan at all. Only BBM and Email. Is there a way to download this application still?

All we need now is os 5.0. Let's go rim and get back on top.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW 2 FIX THE BRICKED ISSUE? IM RUNNING 4.7.1 ON BB TOUR AND THIS BBM BRICKED MY TOUR :(

I installed the new bbm on my 8900 from appworld. When I open the program, I am stuck on the License Agreement. Hitting the "I accept" button does nothing. Same result if I hit "do not accept". The only way to get out is by hitting the end button. I have done at least 3 batt pulls. Have also tried uninstalling and reloading. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help

Does anyone know what the blackberry groups category is for?

Why do my voice notes automatically save to my blackberry when i send them out using messenger 5.0? It also asks me to accept and wait 10 seconds to play it. What is up with the picture messaging? it asks to save before viewing/opening up. Help needed! thank you!

is anyone else having a problem with opening bbm ims?!?!? mine seem to not open...

Don't run BBM from quicklaunch.. I ran the BBM from quicklaunch, what I got is I can't click in the BBM, can't chat, and the only way to solve is battery pull.. I'm using Bold 4.6.0.266 with quicklaunch 2.12.3. *CMIIW*

I intstalled on my tour and now i dont have the Messenger app and cant find program. Did I do something wrong? I am frustrated!

HELP!!
The shortcut "N" for launch Blackberry Messenger from homescreen doesn't working anymore after upgrading to BBM v5.0.0.33...

am using curve 8900 with .199 OS...

any idea how to enable the shortcut again?

downloaded from app world fine.. then after reboot deleted my BBM totally, battery pulled ended in a 'RELOAD SOFTWARE ERROR 552' message.. used BBSAK to wipe device and reload blessed backup i made right before the supposed upgrade.. LAME

8900 on TMO running os 4.6.1.231

Is it only me or is the SMS feature i've been reading not there?

I'm running the .238 and the 4.7 BB Messenger was like the only downside......Installed the new messenger and it's great!!! works great with no bugs.

Thanks for the link bradbogy!

Download OTA here
http://www.blackberry.com/send/messenger

hi i'm trying to go to the ota link but my data seems to have been out since around 8:30pm Eastern time. I'm on AT&T......anyone else having issues with emails, bbm, or browser on AT&T? maybe the crackberry nation crashed AT&T lol

If you guys want to get BBM 5 without using app world just go to mobile.blackberry.com and look for the Blackberry Messenger app. It should be pretty obvious. Let me know if it works. Enjoy!

Yeahhhh!!!! Liking it already.

The blog here as the incorrect link for download to your phone from your browser.

Here is the correct link http://www.blackberry.com/send/messenger

downloaded...its great but my contacts dont have pics...dunno why..

Other than lossing my contacts and have a slight issue with it freezing on me when downloading it, Im actually enjoying it very much. I updated to .230 on my storm this morning since I heard it worked on it and it was worth the wait.

am running 5.0.0.238 and am good

i'm running a leaked 5.0 os, the new bbm icon doesnt show up grrrrrrr. any thoughts?

The release version I downloaded looks great and works great on my Curve 8330. The OTA download easily changed over.

Well well well, about time that RIM releases something useful! I think that they are on a roll for 2009 with Storm2, BBM 5.0, maybe a software upgrade for Tour...???
The BBM is nice though, much better looking!

LOVE IT!! Works well on Rogers' last official release of OS 4.5...perfect! Adore it!

I'm happy to report it works great on a Curve 8330 running OS 5.0.0.230!!

Totally bricked my Tour. Called Verizon, and they are sending me out a new one because it had issues restoring. Eventually did get it past the error message (still updating, though), but since I'm having significant trackball issues (again), they said they'd still send me a new one.

Afraid to try and install BBM 5.0, again, though, once I get this working.

It's good to see so many comments saying the official version works on OS 5.0.0.XXX

I'm loading this app on to both my 8310 and my wife Pearl, and it is taking forever. It's been showing the hourglass for the last 10 minutes or so. Anyone else have this issue?

took me 30 mins to be able to download and install... i did 5 batt pulls.. and i lost all my contacts! not a good start for me so far..

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Work great on my BB bold... Yeh!
anyway i more like BBM leak 5.0.0.8...

Now we just need an official 5.0 OS :)

It works for me.

This is awesome... too bad no one I know has a Blackberry with the net. :/

Did they take away this feature along with the typing feature?

No, I was chatting with someone earlier (they have an older BBM) and it showed when they were typing a message.

It's about time!

Now,waiting for restarting my BB...Hope no any problem and more faster than my last version(>_-)

Did they take out the feature that says when a contact you are chatting with is typing? I can't figure it out.

os 5 and bbm 5

Today was a good day.

Downloading now!!
Anyway im now using BBM 5.0.0.8 leak version!but this official BBM is 5.0.0.3 !?
my old one is more newer?

Downloaded 20 minutes after it released...everything is working great! I have a Tour running the stock 4.7.1.40 OS and it works flawlessly. The only weird thing is that some of the pics are not showing up on contacts I know have fb pics. I tried the uncheck "Display Pictures" box in options and it did nothing. Oh well...

I still can't get past the accept screen, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

so location sharing and proximity alerts dont work for the storm...that just sucks.

Finally!!

So I tried to load it on my VZW Tour running their lastest OS, and bricked my phone. Reloaded the OS, noticed I don't have BBM anymore, so figured 5.0 would be a good try, and it just bricked me again...

Did RIM purposely release BBM5 the same day as the 57th anniversary of the bar code? Seeing how you can now use bar codes to give pin?

Just downloaded BBM 5.0 for my 8310 and didn't like it. I actually downgraded back to BBM 4.5!

Installed from App World and now my phone is bricked. After install and reboot, did not show up anywhere except settings/advanced/apps. Tried Quick Pull and that wouldn't work. Did a battery pull and now is displaying a 522 message. Now I get to reload my OS.

i just have to thank you RIM been wait for a while for this and it work just fine with the leaked OS 5.0.0.230!!!! it is fucken awsome!!!!

Are right on with the addiction info!!!

IF YOU DONT HAVE NOW YOU BETTER GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

an ota link so i don't have to download app world?

Working perfect!

AWESOME... For all Tour owners running os 4.7.1.40 it WORKS and the new look is awesome. NOW RIM where is my 5.0 os release????????

when i was downloading i noticed that it shows research in motion limited for the vendor....whats that about?

Runs great! on my Alltel/Verizon curve 8330 with the leaked 5.0 OS

This is the CrackBerry Addicts Group Barcode for BBM5! Join in! http://pic.gd/fdc7f2

It looked fine, I opened it, changed my name and such. A friend messaged me and then I tried to open it and the screen went white. I can go back to the home screen but when I click BBM, it goes back to the white screen.

wohoooo!! awesome! it finally worked! emoticons just cute, sharp n clean screen, nice features,.. but....

lil bit dissapointing in sending file feat. i like the previous version as i can just view it without saving it 1st... :).. oh well, hope RIM will do any upgrade in anytime soon! lol 4 thumb up!

Very nice to get this back after losing the leaked bbm5 due to my sweet 5.0 hybrid. Got this bbm5 OTA without having to install app world also. Thanks to Crackberry and Rim. 5.0 official OS this week?

so happy to finally get it, now if they will go ahead a release the 5.0 os then we'll be good. its looks really good on my storm

Very nice. I was using the leaked version and I am very pleased with the official. My download to forever but finally went through. I am using 4.6OS and will wait for the official 5.0 OS. Im tired of my phone being sluggish because of the possible leaks. Thanks RIM!

working perfectly on my curve 8330 os5 bbm 5 YES

It took forever to download and I have been waiting for almost 20 minutes for this damn thing to install. WTF, they should have worked the damn kinks out.

SO now I am sitting here with my dern phone lagging in la la land. Who the heck knows wth is going on.

YESIIR!!! Been preparing for this since 8:45am. D-loaded a 5.0 about 6:30, about to install that, give this a good run!

Been riding the .250 for awhile trying to hold out for an Official 5.0 but I'm curious about this new messenger.

I have 5.0 on my Alltel/Verizon 8330 curve. my phone is coming back up...I will let you know if it works.

cool didn't even expect this i'm running 4.7.1.4 on VZW tour got nervous after reading about bricked phones but it booted after a few minutes and looks awesome!!! i love CB

it is a go for the oficial working with the leaked .230 on my 9530.

I still can't get past the I accept page on the license agreement. Have deleted, reinstalled and battery pulled numerous times and have still been unable to get past the license agreement window. Does anyone have a clue how to get this thing on my 8900 running v4.6.1.231?

Running perfectly on Bold OS 5.0.0.238.
Awesome
