Hi Everyone, the new BlackBerry Messenger is here! What's new? You can share videos and calendar events. Make a group (I have one called "Super Friends") so you can chat with multiple people. And of course what we've all been waiting for: barcodes. Now you don't need to tell people your pin, you can just have them scan your barcode.
What are you waiting for, download it here: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/3729
I got it and I love everything about it!!!! I do have a question thought.....How do we post a picture of our barcode to put it on the site?
We had it 12hrs back ! Loving it and addicted ++++
i tryed it and it locked up my phone. acording to some of the forums a lot of people are having the same trouble with the 5.0.
Got the new messenger and love it!!
Any way of scanning fro groups?

I am really pleased with the new BBM. Groups area very interesting addition. I also like the fact that I can put an icon on my main screen for people and chat with them directly from the main screen. ![]()
I take it this is the official forum for BBM 5.0...ok, so I DL'd it on my Storm (OS 4.7) and it works great. I really enjoy all the features and scanning is a blast. If I'm missing something please advise.
Thanks.
I'm afraid my phone will crash if I download it since most Sprint customers are having that issue. = {
Any thoughts?
lol None?

Hey Dedi
This is the link on BlackBerry.com where you can download BlackBerry Messenger:

I looked on BlackBerry Support Forum and the Sprint community site and didn't see any people posting issues with downloading the new version. Maybe someone from the community who is on Sprint can give you some peace of mind.

The issues I have seen are with people using an older OS. You need to be using OS 4.5.0.131 or newer. Some people using 4.5.0.66 and such have had the BBM icon disappear after installing. You also need to have at least 5MB of free memory, or the app will not install.
There really should be something in the install script to make sure a certain OS version is installed first, but that is not there.
As long as you are running at least 4.5.0.131, you should be good to go.
Thanks..
