Well I've been using quite a few apps on my Blackberry bold for awhile now, and figured I'd give up some details for those who don't know.

It's quite simple actually,

go here using your blackberry browser:

http://www.blackberry.com/devicesoft....do?code=wlm20

select your language, and download version 2.1.36

once installed navigate to your downloads folder...

and have fun, on data or wifi it works out of the box.... or should i say off of the net.

anyway, hope this gives those of you who have just received your bold something to do... lol

On the rogers network you do not need to restore service books.

I get an html error ... Don't think its network related as I did have windows live messenger running on my curve

make sure you are typing the url in properly, using blackberry emulation mode, It should work perfectly fine, I've done it for a few friends of mine.

http://www.blackberry.com/devicesoft....do?code=wlm20 -- this link works for me (not sure if its the same link but it worked this time!)

i get a http error

[muck]

the browser is probably reading the truncated http link.
u need to put in the full link
http://www.blackberry.com/device software/entry.do?code=wlm20
remove the space inbetween

[sparkylx]

sorry your device doesnt meet the system requirements......

sorry your device doesnt meet the system requirements......

thats the general error with most peoples bolds

easier to maybe install beejive run it thru the 30day trial. and purchase it. as i find it a lot better than wlm anyway.

or if u want wlm, then hope RIM fix the problem in 30days lol

Indeed, I also get told my Bold doesn't meet the requirements.

I used to get an error (sorry your device doesnt meet the system requirements)until i tried this link ...

Here is the link in 3 parts, just to make sure you get it all!

http://www.blackberry.

/entry.do?code=wlm20

make sure to 'put the link back together'

Hi, just tried again, no luck

It doesn't work for me either, device isn't supported. Can't someone give us the direct OTA link
or at least the app, so we can install in device manager.

theres heaps of alternatives around guys, if u really need messenger, just install one and wait for RIM to get wlm sorted.

I have installed on Bold, all looks OK, display who is on-line and personal picture, but there is no option to communicate only contact infos??

There also doesnt seem to be an option not to display groups - i.e.: just view all online contacts ...

The link works, but eventually once I navigate to the download page..it says NOTE: Microsoft windows XP SP 2 users: If you encounter an error, look at the top of thispage for a yellow bar that reads "This site might require the following ActiveX control: 'AxlLoader.cab' from "Research In Motion'. Click here to install..." Click the yellow bar and choose "Install ActiveX Control..." to allow installation to proceed.

I see no such yellow bar or anything else to click on, on this particular page...I'm stuck.

[laurent08]

go to the link using your BB Browser ...

[b0sstard]

that's what i did..

[Xorphan]

you could not have been doing this using blackberry emulation.

you would only get that message using an alternate emulation method like internet explorer.

[waringd]

just tried the link from my bold and works fine for me....

Just a thought as I'm quite new to Blackberry stuff but could it be because mine is an unlocked Bold and others are network variants?

D

[b0sstard]

How does one go into 'blackberry emulation' mode?

I'm using the browser provided with the bb...i thought that's what you're supposed to do?

[b0sstard]

Ok I spoke to rogers' BB tech support and apparently I was put on the regular 6gig data plan, not the one specific for BB's.

I also didn't have any gps mapping anywhere available on the phone, and was blocked from using youtube, so hopefully this will fix all of those issues.

Restarting phone now.

Update: FIXED!

[ReLyT]

mine came with messenger installed?!?!

[muck]

there was another guy in australia, that had messenger installed also.

wlm seems to be working as normal again tho

As anyone on Orange UK managed to get MSN installed on the Bold. Ive tried using windows and on the Bold and it always says the device isn't supported.
