Internally, it's not referred to by RIM folk as BBM 5.0.
It's more like BBM 2.0 (i'm not even sure how they refer to it exactly, but it's independent of the 5.0 front). Not all BlackBerry devices will be getting OS5.0 - think if a device has less than 128 flash mem it won't get the update (which SUX for Curve 83xx users), but pretty sure everybody (majority of newer devices) will get the new BBM update at some point when it's released.
So probably best to think of it as BBM 2.0 or BBM Next Generation cause BBM 5.0 isn't really accurate.
Update: So apparently, new BBM for 4.6 is currently tagged internally as BBM 2.0 and new BBM for 5.0 is currently tagged as BBM 2.5. Kind strange, and wouldn't doubt that it's re-tagged by marketing when released, but that's apparently how it sits right now.

That's actually hilarious because in the Storm forums, when I referred to this as BBM2.5--from someone I know who WORKS at RIM--I got flamed. It's nice to be able to put the pretentiousness of others to rest by it being called both 2.0 AND 2.5.
I can understand that but why did they wait so long to address it and clarify what the actual name is ?? RIM always keeping hush hush until they really have to I guess. Standard MO for them Just. Release....
This thread is about the new BBM that has not been leaked or released yet. (GET ON THAT LEAK KEVIN)
I see you are everywhere.
I also notice that, either you like to impart tough love or that maybe, you are just an a-hole based on your knowledge.
If I am asking, is because I really dont know which is the correct section.
I just noticed the man sig and the info it holds, attempted to pm and got the message about the minimum 10 posts before pm'ing people other then mods and Geniuses like yourself so I decided to ask here.
My apologies, if you direct me to the correct thread, Ill be happy to go in that direction.
Just try not to shoo new people with that attitude man.

I wasnt giving attitude. I was simply stating what this thread was about. Heres the link for the 8900 section
BBM 5.0.0.19 needs to leak. Whoever has it should let people test to see what bugs we can find. Just dump the COD's using BBSAK and post it and I'm sure many will be happy to help "test" this new BBM. I miss the new BBM on .230
