What is this?? Can it be? Do we have the new BBM files for the Storm? I believe we do!! A very nice friend who works in the 'UK division' was nice enough to send this over. We have the files for the new BBM for OS's 4.7.1, 4.7, 4.6.1, 4.6.0, 4.5 AND the new 5.0's.

Storm BBM files
Tour BBM Files
Bold BBM Files
8900 BBM Files
Curve 83xx BBM Files

5.0 BBM Files
5.1.0 BBM Files

To install just extract the zip file on your computer. Remember the location. Open up Desktop Manager and click on Application Loader. Under Add/Remove Applications press Start. When the screen comes up with all the apps on your device, select Browse and navigate to the folder you extracted from the zip. Choose the BlackBerryMessenger.alx and click next. Then just wait for the phone to reboot and walla, the brand new BBM 5.

Full install instructions with pics

Alternative download site from MegaUpload
4.5 Curve 83xx
4.6 Bold
4.6.1 Curve 8900
4.7 Storm
4.7.1 Tour
OS 5.0
OS 5.1.0

**Please remember that this is unreleased beta software and is not guaranteed to work**

OTA for tour:

Looks good so far. It asked me if I wanted to overwrite a couple of files, and I said yes. I doubt I'll ever use it but the 'bar code' idea is pretty cool.

Sweet! Will it delete existing contacts or convert them over?

Works great.. no more one line limit bbm status msg for the storm. awesome

Lovin this! Go grab the OTA for all versions of BBs from your phone's browser over at StormOTA, and then click on New Apps.

Can't get the OTA link for the Bold. :(

compatible with 88xx? (specifically 8830)

BB Msngr 5.0 on my Storm 9530 works great, it works on my 8320 curve as well, it's definitely worth testing it out.

thank you for the link ChezDigital

What about 8820?

Blackberry Messenger 5.0

so found a decent leak version of it for my 8900 and downloaded it. Can't get it to load in the app loader program on desktop manager. i was told to copy and paste the alx file into my OS folder and then copy the .cod files into my JAVA folder....thats where i get lost....any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated

Several threads open on this.
Check the Beta forum.

Yes, tons of threads on this already.

Also check BBNews.com
