One of our readers dropped this one on our desk a few minutes ago. I have not had a chance to test it as of yet as I’m still actually downloading at the moment. It has been a crazy day for leaks but keep them coming guys and girls.
Update: Just confirmed this leak originated from Kevin @ CrackBerry
You can pick it up from:
Bold 9000: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=52XEQR6C
Curve 8900: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9WL5RSEK
Let us know what you find in the comment below.
Thank you ‘detectivereview’ for the link.
NOTE: Do not install this software if you do not know what you are doing. It may make your BlackBerry FUBAR or just plain angry.

I see no difference over 5.0.190 so far….. I think the official 5.0 release is close.

Wonder if the old switch service books trick still works. I just finished installing, waiting reboot, will test it out.

After reboot, my Internet browser is working fine. Keep in mind, I let DM to do a backup/restore. So old service books trick should work.

Which version of BBM5 JR?
JR Not Registered
Posted: September 29, 2009 at 9:53 AM EST
How do I tell what version it is? I had the original zipped file containing all the BBM5 and just used that to install.

Simply go under Options – Applications, select Add-on from pull down menu, there you can see the version info of BBM. Also can you upload the files you have for BBM somewhere or send the link you got it from?

It just says version 5.0? I don’t see any other numbers.
The file is on my computer at home.

Do you see anything different when you click on the Blackberry Messenger when you are in the applications list? It may give further details there.

bbm 5.0 does not work on my 5.0.0.238 either whether i do it OTA or Desktop. It is there on my phone but not available. so I don’t know how JR got it to work on his but I have to downgrade. So if JR can provide the link where he got his as the ones from theiexplorers.com is not working on mine!

Pages load fine on my Bold with OperaMini 5. Does your Internet Browser work properly?

I tried it, and Facebook didn’t work out of the gate, but after re-installing Facebook, it worked. But I still got that dang MediaNet crap instead of the real browser, and it did hang up on me a few times. You cannot use the BB browser. Period. I have heard about that service book hack, but I tried it before several times and gave up.
Also, Viigo didn’t work, until I removed it and re-installed, but even then, it cropped the pages (every single page), when I clicked an RSS feed. It only showed one page, and would not scroll on any page. That is a deal-breaker for me; I use Viigo every day, throughout the day.
So back to 4.6 I go. I am going out of town on business in a few days and I can’t play around with buggy betas. I know, “installer beware”.

I upgraded from a .190, which was able to use BB browser with the hack. Since I didn’t wipe and used the DM, it backed up and restored and BB Browser (aka Internet browser) works fine for me.
Viigo is a pain to me, such a memory hog, so I use Freerange. Much lighterweight, clean cut interface.
As for Facebook, I use Socialscope, as it handles both Twitter and Facebook, works great on .238

Apps issues the same. Scrolling problems with viigo. Etc. Had to do the browser fix with the att service books. Battery life is WAY better then the .190. Bbm I won’t bother with only because it takes so much time to downgrade back to 4.7 if the Bbm 5.0 icon is missing.
