    If you make your Back-up on OS 5.0 your BBM contact will be automatically notified about your new PIN , nothing to do for them and for you ....

    hi, if your friend has a computer with DM installed on it, the DEVICE SWITCH WIZARD->SWITCH BLACKBERRY DEVICES works great to get all his data across from his 9000 to 9700.

    for BBM, he needs to do a contacts backup from BBM to his memory card and then restore once he's done transferring his data from 9000 to 9700. he will need to use the memory card with his contacts in the 9700 when he's ready to restore

    You can Backup your BBM contacts remotely using your Email.

    Here's what to do:
    1. Setup an Email on your old BB
    2. go to BBM > options > Backup > remotely ( wait til your email is registered )
    3.Setup an Email (same Email account) on your New BB
    4. Go to BBM > options > restore > remotely

    Though, the most common and convenient way is to use the Device Switch Wizard on Desktop Manager

    OR

    Backing up your old BB and restoring the Backup file onto your new one

    You can do a backup locally within bbm for his contacts, save to the memory card & they restore contacts within the new handset. Will be a new pin, but won't lose people or have to request again!
