    Okay guys so here is my issue,
    I just got myself a nexus 5 and would like to transfer my bbm contacts from my current 9790 to that phone.
    But the BBM running on the 9790 is version 6 and so all the contacts and groups are not linked to BBID.
    Now I see the terrible reviews of the BBM version 8 and would not like to go through all that hassle and so i was wondering how I could upgrade my BBM from 6 but just not to the newest one (8) but to 7 perhaps?
    And would i HAVE to use third party websites for something like this?
    Any and all suggestions are appreciated,
    Thanks in advance and looking forward to your replies,
    Cheers,
    Beastberry comedy (:

    There only seems to be a link for BBM 6.2 on that site now.

    BBM 8 runs fine on the 9790 anyway, I've tried it myself. It's the low power Curve phones where it's running slow.

    Just upgrade through BlackBerry World, the user interface of 8 is way better than 6 and 7.

    Do Usman's links above work for you from your 9790? If so that's probably the only easy way of getting 7 on.
