I do not believe that there is an OTA at this time. At some point will you have access to a PC?

I have it!

Hello robsoule and welcome to BBOS.

Have you looked to see if your Icon is hidden. The only reason I ask is b/c in earlier post, a newer member said that it was hidden on his 8830 and that he had to navigate around in various folder and un hide it.

Yes, did the show all and not there. Did the Options/Advanced Options/Applications and it is listed as Blackberry Messenger 5.0.0.8.

Do you now have the BBMessenger 5.0 installed on your device and are able to use it?

If so...Just enjoy the new features. I feel like there will be some following write ups describing the newer features.

--- STILL CANNOT SEE BBM ICON ON 8330 --

1. I have 4.5.0.97
2. I copied all the .cod files to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8330-v4.5.0.97_P3.2.0.52
3. Ran Desktop Manager, clicked on .alx files and it loaded it
4. phone reboot
5. Blackberry messenger 5.0.0.8 appears in applications
6. I have "show all icons" enabled so nothing is hidden
7. but NO ICON!!

Help plz!!!! :no:

Anyone who is installing 5.0 and want the option to go back to the previous version should back up the cod file(s) you are replacing first. That way you have the old version to restore to.

How exactly did you install the new application? Did you copy/past the .alx file into the java folder then run the app loader or did you just download the Zip file, extract it then run the application loader?

No worries fella....

How do you get it to turn out?

Originally I dl'd the file, extracted onto my desktop used DM to install the .alx from the extracted file on the dekstop. BBM icon was missing. So i copy/pasted .alx into OS folder and then c/p the cod's into the Java folder. Then used DM to run the .alx file.
