one of my best friends tho, uses sprint i think but has a blackberry. if i BBM him, will that count towards my 500 non-verizon texts a month or is a BBM seperate. (im guessing AIM messages dont count towards that 500 also right??)
BBM and BB pin are different then txt messages. BBM and BB pin are all data services. So if you BBM him that is not counting against your 500 nonVerizon txt messages a month.
 
I really wonder if you all follow the directions to the tee. My whole process took no longer than 5 minutes from the time I downloaded the zip.
 
By George I think I got it

So like....How the hell does this work?

Do you need BB 5.0?
Yes you need BB 5.0. Once you do you hit menu then add contact. You will then see scan invitation or show your invitation. If you are addingsomeone you click scan, it will proceed to open your camera and you just line it up with the barcode and it then add that person.

They already have it or they aren't getting it til' August like everybody else? In that case, I might go up there this weekend to take a look at it.
 
Sooooo.

VERY, HIGHLY, RIDICULOUSLY, disappointed w/ 5.0.... Suuuuuuuper lag on BBM messages, messages NOT being delivered, having to send multiple bbms of the SAMEMESSAGE just to make sure the recipient receives the message.

So today, I downgrade back to 4.6 & here's what happened.

I may have gotten the best of both worlds...

under applications, I have BlackBerry Messenger (version) 4.6... back to instant bbms, quick delivery, smooth convos.
but when I click the BBM icon, I have the 5.0 design & features.

To those of you who have Bolds, hold off till the OFFICIAL release. That's just MY advice. Take it from someone who's tried it & disliked it. Ifnot, hopefully yours runs smoothly & not like how my experience went.



& to dude who has a Curve (I think it was) who tried installing 5.0 & has a missing BBM icon, I think you're SOL.

my boy tried doin the upgrade and got +%@@@@# on. same deal you got. so, if you can't reinstall 5.0... you gotta dl an OS for your phone via BB.com &run it through desktop manager.
Good luck.

They fixed the messages not being delivered glitch though. RIM even fixed the avys now. I can see Stan's and dunny's avy now
