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.

Blackberry browser works for me. No hacks or anything necessary. 8900 on Rogers. Did have to reinstall facebook though

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

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”.

Well, when you get a chance, send/upload the zip file somewhere and I’ll take a look, you made me curious

By: JR

JR — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:22:34 +0000

Still gives me the same number – 5.0. Unless I completely missing something here haha

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.

By: JR

JR — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:02:42 +0000

It just says version 5.0? I don’t see any other numbers.

The file is on my computer at home.

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?

By: JR

JR — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:53:13 +0000

How do I tell what version it is? I had the original zipped file containing all the BBM5 and just used that to install.

Remzi Turer — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:43:25 +0000

Which version of BBM5 JR?

By: JR

JR — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:42:46 +0000

Just installed on my Bold and BBM5 works just fine.
