Got an email this morning from RIM:

Didn't see a changelog in the Beta Zone and the download for the release notes throws a "file not found" error, but this is what it says about it in the Beta Zone:

Due to a known issue, please remember to manually uninstall Bundle 10 of Desktop Software 7 before installing this new build (bundle 19)

(Emphasis mine).

RIM made this one a little more difficult to get a keyless version for (they're learning

) but for some reason they didn't do the biggest thing they could to prevent it from getting leaked. So, we're leaking it.
If you have a Beta Zone account, please do log in and leave feedback.
Enough on that, get to downloading!

Installing now.

**used_bathwater** · 10-05-2011, 12:01 PM

What are the new features?

**SCrid2000** · 10-05-2011, 12:04 PM

Not sure. Hopefully a fix for outlook sync.
The OP says the release notes document isn't available and no changelog was posted by RIM.

Have they included an option to sync docs-to-go files yet?

**trucky** · 10-05-2011, 01:20 PM

The only thing I've noticed so far is that Backup appears to have been optimized a bit and seems to run faster. Nothing earth shaking here yet.

**andyahs** · 10-05-2011, 01:37 PM

Minor changes to sync options and the UI but not much else so far.

**bowledbybold** · 10-05-2011, 01:53 PM

I can't sync media; WiFi music sync disabled!!!

**PaulM-D** · 10-05-2011, 03:24 PM

I like this. Doesn't seem to have an issue with changes to a recurring appointments as previous pre V7 version did.

But where is the sync log? The sync log has been an important tool to resolving failed syncs.

Cant download. Get a "Cannot be validated" message. Anybody else get that?

You tried all the download links?

**corvette_stingray** · 10-05-2011, 07:07 PM

Hi!!

Am I doing something wrong?

I installed this and I still get version 6.0 2921 coming up?

I uninstalled my old desktop before I installed this...

Any ideas?

**Guyluvsgals** · 10-05-2011, 09:21 PM

Folks..is this version compatible with 64bit Win 7?

**shaolindragon** · 10-05-2011, 10:20 PM

I am also concerned whether this version is compatible with win 64bit for syncing with outlook. Previous leak was not compatble with 64bit outlook so I had to uninstall and reloaded ver 6.

Just installed on win7 64bit. syncing working with outlook 2010. This beta provides much better control over syncing with outlook. It provides preview screen to see how syncing is going to be. Great full control to user for any editing.
Only issue I faced, exiting application is taking lot of time.

Another works perfect with Win7 64bit. and DM has always been slow to load and slow to close. Gives me a chance to click on it a few more times to speed it up.

**PaulM-D** · 10-06-2011, 09:59 AM

Works fine on my 64-bit Win7.

No download link available anymore?

**SCrid2000** · 10-07-2011, 10:13 PM

No it's still available.
Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

Thanks for the link Shane... Grabbed it...

Before I even waste time installing this, I wanted to know if anyone here that is part of 4 or more BB groups, has had success in restoring all groups in full after an OS upgrade or wipe???

This has been my pet peeve with all of the recent iterations, beta or officially released.

**kbz1960** · 10-07-2011, 10:44 PM

Aren't a lot of things not compatible with 64bit outlook? I remember when I installed it there was a message/warning about it.

When I use loader.exe and let it backup and restore, it usually works for me.
When I use Desktop Software, usually not, regardless of the version.

Yep. I have the same exact experience! No problems with Apploader, always a problem with DTM.
I wonder if RIM will ever make the group restore actually work for DTM?
