Seems easier to me anyway...

The download which lyricidal posted does not have any RIM internal tools as well.

you mean BBM 5.0 right? I just used #4 to install on 2 other Storms. It's working. Try this one. You are downloading it directly from your BB right? I just tested it online and it's still working just fine.
•Alternative OTA links #4
◦Storm 9500 Series

Here is the direct link: http://www.besmgmt.de/dl/bbm5/95XXBBM5.jad
UPDATE...!!It's weird but if i click on it from this link i just posted it doesnt work but if i click on it directly from the blackberryrocks.com website, it works. It definitely also works directrly from your BlackBerry. Just go to the website and scroll down and click on that one..

No, for the 5.0 BBM with 5.0.0.140, you need to download the 5.0 version. You are posting the 4.7.0 version.

You mean BBM 5.0 version that runs on 4.7, now you are talking about the BBM 5.0 that runs on 5.0. Just to clarify.
And yes I downloaded those to Storms running .151 no problem. If that is the case then thank you for clearing this up.

BBM5 OTA Links! - The BlackBerry Zone Forums
it is in the first post but you must register in order to see it and download it.
It works, it is BBM 5.0 for 5.0 OS, it also has the links to the other OS's
