How do I install the new BBM

Lazagna — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:38:05 GMT

I have tried to find a way to install the new BBM 5.0, but can't seem to figure it out. I'm new to the blackberry world (3 days now) and I received an old 8703e that is now setup on my personal cell line.

So, I updated the software (desktop and blackberry) but it says my BBM is up to date at 4.2.1

I am on the Bell newtwork in Canada and can't seem to get it no matter how hard I try. If I go to blackberry Appworld, it can't be downloaded any other way except by browser, which I don't have, I only have email and BBM on my Blackberry. Am I screwed without the internet to browse and locate this program?

There used to be an option under General Security Settings that kinda changed the background of my SMS messages. Well... The option is random gone now and my background is stuck on blue. HELP PLEASE.

PRL, Home SID?!

Puritychild — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:50:33 GMT

I am so confused about all this flashing stuff. I bought a cricket flashed blackberry. I can send and rec sms and get calls but when i make calls it thinks i am roaming. The "R" doesnt show up but I get the "thank you for calling cricket natnwide roaming...you have x minutes left" whenever I make a call.

From doing some research I think it maybe has to do with the PRL? I dont know how to find out what my home SID should be.

Also, the web and mms dont work. I know usually they dont but does anyone have any hints or changes i an make to try harder?

Voice Notes Get Cut To 30 Seconds

PrinceQuints — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:14:43 GMT

Well, I use voice notes/memos A LOT and most of mine are around maybe a minute or a minutes and a half. Lately I noticed that my phone has been limitin my notes to only 30 seconds. I know that my memory isn't low so that'd DEF not the problem.

Any suggestions?

Message Background Colors

PrinceQuints — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:25:42 GMT

Ok, so... I just upgraded by 8700 from 4.3 (I think) to OS 4.5 and I noticed one major change... I had changed my message background color (in options... Security options... General options...) to blue but after I upgraded the OS, the background color of the messages still remains blue but now the option to change the color is completely missin! I went under security options and everythin but now there's just no option to change any colors.
