jerry12jerry12  says in response to Eric Dodson:

it locked up my 8330 so i deleted it.

WintersynWintersyn  says in response to Eric Dodson:

Loaded it onto my 9530 and it works great (BBM 5.0). Not a single issue thus far. Barcode scanning was quick and easy to use.

ddreneeddrenee  says:

i cud not even begin the download. i have a curve and it says the update isnt available for it!

Jamie5438Jamie5438  says:

It works great, but I tried adding an SMS contact to my blackberry messenger and couldn't.  The option isn't there like the user manual said it was.  Other than that I give it an A++

bbsenseibbsensei  says in response to ddrenee:

You must ensure to have blackberry OS 4.5 or higher on the 8130, 8330, 8830!!!

Marcos MontesMarcos Montes  says:

You can only add an SMS contact if you have an OS of 5.0 or higher which means you have to have a leaked version. I've had no problems with the new BBM. I think it's a major step forward for RIM and it can only get better. My only dislike is the fact that I have to download an image if someone sends it to me through BBM instead of getting the option to view it.

julesajulesa  says:

I accidentally deleted a contact... course I have no other way of contacting them... Would be nice if there was some kind of fail safe for these situations!

KimberleeKimberlee  says in response to Eric Dodson:

This BBM is the best and fastest I have used.  Works great on the Bold.  I can hardly wait for the new Bold 9700 to be released with the new OS 5.

lynedozlynedoz  says:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the updated BBM!!! I upgraded the software for my curve 8330 and had no problems with the BBM update!!  My BBM contacts were so shocked when I invited them to a conference chat!!!  They all want it!! I fall more in love with my curve with every update!

lynedozlynedoz  says in response to julesa:

The new version has a backup feature! Not to mention the blackberry desktop manager software does the same thing!

i need buddys to talk to shoot me your pins

Dedi B.Dedi B.  says:

5.0 works great, but is this version 5.0?

Also, can you set alerts for contacts that are returning from being busy with v 5.0?

MrC71MrC71  says in response to Eric Dodson:

There were a lot of issues with the leaked version, but the set up of that version was ay different from the official version. Since i'm on the official version, I've had no problems with it on my 8330.  Make sure you have the official version and not the leaked.  I think it's wonderful

ALLYALLY  says:

cgalo90cgalo90  says:

I love BBM 5.0! The contact backup, groups, sms contacts, and the clean look!
