BlackBerry Rocks!: Features And Screenshots Of The Leaked BlackBerry Messenger 5.0

  • Ryan Elliott Turner · 4 months ago
    What's the barcode used for? I'm installing it now for my VZW 8330. Slow as heck at downloadin. If you want another OTA download spot, gimme a shout, I've got some extra bandwidth.

    Thanks for the offer.

    Others can scan the barcode to add or invite you to groups instead of using the PIN, etc.

    Make sure you have at least OS 4.5.0.131 installed on your 8330 before installing BBM 5.0.
  • Ryan Elliott Turner · 4 months ago
    Ouch. I installed it, rebooted, and now BB messenger is gone. v4.5.0.77 (Platform 3.2.0.51)
    Blackberry 8330 CDMA VZW.

    Ugh!

    BBM5 shows up under the applications list, but no joy.
  • Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago
    Yeah you need to have at least 4.5.0.131 installed for bbm 5.0 to work.

    Bummed - Verizon hasn't upgraded our OS on the Curve (8330), so not compatible with mine. Looks awesome and I can't wait for it to become available so I can try it out!
  • Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago
    That's not a problem :). Just because Verizon hasn't released it doesn't mean you can't upgrade.

    You can use any released OS meant for the 8330 on yours. Here try this one: http://bit.ly/3waOZk

    That's awesome. I figured that might be the case, but was so far
    unsuccessful in figuring out where to go for an upgrade.Thanks for the
    advice and I'll give this a whirl!

    Anyone managed to 'locate' a friend?

    I am loving the 5.0. It makes me feel like I am using a much less antiquated IM system. I can't wait to see what other updates are coming our way.

    Please do you Know how we can see each others contact pic ? curve 8310 OS 4.5.0.163
  • Mauricio | BBRocks.com · 4 months ago
    The only way to do this right now is to add them as a contact with a picture in your address book.

    Sending and receiving files or pics gets slower than before upgrades.Why?/
  • kristyl16 · 3 months ago
    I haven't been able to try out the feature to share locations... each time i try to click view it, it opens to a blank white screen. So I reinstalled it and now instead it just says maps disabled :(

    I also don't have the "show when I'm on the phone" feature either
