BlackBerry Messenger release tomorrow!

**calvinmeethobbes** · 10-06-2009, 02:40 PM

So I see that the new BBM is supposed to be released tomorrow. Do I need to have the new OS in order to have the new BBM? Or can I simply get the new BBM tomorrow when it comes out?

**NoahFecks** · 10-06-2009, 02:49 PM

You'll need an OS that supports it, not necessarily OS 5 since that itself hasn't been officially released yet. Here's to hoping it DOES run on OS 5 though.

**SubyWill** · 10-06-2009, 02:58 PM

yeah, it's supposed to run on os 5.0

**karaaa01** · 10-06-2009, 03:42 PM

ok i'm just finding out about all these sick things i can do with my bb lol and what's "os"

OS=Operating System

**calvinmeethobbes** · 10-06-2009, 03:51 PM

So I just got my storm a few weeks ago...so it should be the newest OS right? (besides 5.0)...so should I expect the new BBM tomorrow?

Sorry I am kinda new to all of this...But the new BBM looks incredible so I hope I can get it lol

Is it any different from 5.0.0.8?

I hope it's released out on time, after playing with the leak version I got really excited about it! It looks great so fingers crossed i'll be able to play with it on 4.6 ... failing that I might move over to OS 5 ;-)

I have a Curve 8330 (Verizon), guessing my software is 4.5.0.77?

If so, does that mean I will not be able to run BBM 5.0 (unless I use the leak of OS 5.0)?

The leaked version required 4.5.0.131 or newer to work. I would assume that the release version would require at least the same OS or higher. You might want to check out the Curve 8330 forum for the latest OS vesion.

You should be able to. I've been running bbm 5.0 on my pearl flip for awhile and my os is 4.6.0.278. I don't know if and when os 5.0 comes out, will the bbm 5.0 have a different look, cause so far it looks good and you can do cool things with it.

**redsoxnation17** · 10-06-2009, 05:00 PM

I have Cellular South OS v4.5.0.127 and running the leaked version of BBM 5 now without problems. So, I assume I will be able to get real deal BBM tomorrow with no problems???

**rmolter** · 10-06-2009, 05:23 PM

I have 4.5.0.110 on my 8300, guess i'll find out tomorrow if i need to update my OS or not.

This may be a stupid question, but how will BBM 5 be released? Will it be pushed to my BB or will i need to go out somewhere and download it?

As for 'where do I find it" and 'how do I get it', check out the CB main page tomorrow.

I'm sure Kevin or B1aze or Adam will post something about it.

It's a shame I have to work tomorrow and get zero service there. Looking forward to the new BBM!!!

**amelia.s** · 10-06-2009, 06:27 PM

*excited*

**ClassaN0va** · 10-06-2009, 07:33 PM

Backing up phone as we speak. Organizing contacts in my BBM as well.

I just upgraded to 4.5.0.170. Will that be compatible with BBM 5.0?
