Following the link above, found the 4 downloads (english only or multilanguage, with or without media manager).

What is stupid (again) on RIM’s part is if you go their their web site by clicking on Support, then Software, then Desktop Software, then Desktop Manager for PC, you are offered “500_b028_multilanguage.exe” from July, NOT the SP1 most recent version. Come one RIM, you can get your web site straight, right?

So 4.7.0.42 is the bbm version in 5.0 for the Bold? That’s weird.

Anyway, go to that link I just provided. Download. During the download process you should be prompted a couple times to replace the app and replace some modules. In my experience if you don’t get those prompts something went wrong with the download and you need to try again. But I don’t have a Bold, I have a Tour and a Storm, so YMMV. And make sure after the download completes that you do a battery pull.

It is back, link up and running again for Desktop Manager 5.0.1 B30 English – With Media Manager

I guess that means the RIM pulled it, because the version we want is 501_b30, not 500_b28

500_b028_multilangua… .exe is the one I eventually got today too.

I get this now Nikolaus:
“The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /Downloads/entry.do.

Reason: Error reading from remote server”

That said, I checked my downloads folder and found I already have “BB DM 501_b025_english_nomediamanager.exe” which I downloaded from somewhere on 9/1/09. I hadn’t installed it because lame as it is I actually DO use the Roxio Media Manager some and this bundle didn’t have it. When I go to install it offers to install Blackberry Media Sync (which I DO NOT use) and remove Roxio Media Manager, so I aborted the install.

When I go through the web site it offers me DM 5.0.0_b028_multilanguage with media manager (a 307MB download).

Wow it is back up, but now only gives you the option of Multi-language with media manger, whereas before you had 4 version choices.

Can’t download from BlackBerry.com anymore. Software download pages are down. I wanted to download again because I earlier downloaded the version for English with MediaManger, but XP says it is not a valid Win32 application. Something fishy here. Anyone else get that msg?

I checked and double checked and triple checked Nikolaus. There is for sure something wrong in the upgrade process from .148 with BBM 5.0 to OS 5.0. Nothing a visit to blackberry.com/messenger didn’t fix up quickly (and the contact restore function worked flawlessly), but a hassle nevertheless.

I talked to a budy who was running .167 with BBM 5.0 and his BBM was gone too after upgrade to OS 5.0.

You may have had BBM unchecked when you installed your OS. Make sure when upgrading to go to OPTIONS and make sure the box for BBM is checked. I’ve almost had BBM not installed a few times because for some reason this box was unchecked.

I hope this update brings back BB Messenger. I update last night after receiving the message from Verizon. Since the udpate, no Messenger on my Storm….

Geez, what an idiot I am. I had BBM on the brain since installing the Verizon official OS 5.0 left my Storm with no Messenger at all.

BlackBerry Desktop Manager not Messenger…

By: DavidB

Strange. Going to blackberry.com/messenger from a 9530 just upgraded to OS 5.0 official it still offers 5.0.0.33.

Does it contain the IP Modem option that allows tethering??
