    I lost my bbm contacts in the upgrade process and I was wondering if anyone knows how to get them back from my gmail account that I backed them up to using the feature in bbm?

    when you start messenger it will ask/give you that option..I just did it and it worked!!

    if you don't have BBM5 installed go to link with your phone browser...

    I HAD BBM5 installed. After the software upgrade, the only BBM showing in the Apploader is BBM4.7

    don't load that...use phone browser and go to link I posted download the BBM5 and when it is done start it and do the restore...the link takes you right to the BBM5 download!!

    Another option for future reference is to backup ur contacts to ur media card.

    I am having the same problem. I have tried to restore the contacts manually from my email and waited for the restore contacts prompt from bbm and it seems to get stuck at "checking email status..." both ways. Any ideas?

    you need to re-install them.
    go to options --> applications and delete facebook and bbm
    redownload bbm at blackberry.com/messenger
    redownload facebook from either appcenter/appworld or on the facebook website
    restart and they should both be back

    They are stored with your BlackBerry ID on the BlackBerry servers. Make sure your BlackBerry ID is entered into the BlackBerry ID app on your phone.
