Yes! I downloaded it last night and I love it! I even wrote a review of it over on [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], just in case you guys wanna check it out.

But yeah I really enjoy it. I think it's one of the best apps I've ever used.

Grrrrrr I can't download v5.o from appworld
Hello People. I see that you all are loving the new version of Blackberry messenger. I want to be able to as well. However, when I go to Appworld, it doesn't show up. I then went to Appworld from my mac and had the link sent to my blackberry. When I thought that I worked out the issue... BOOM! Appworld shows that the file size is 0. There was nothing there for me to download.

Is there any way that I can get the application?

Thank you.

Not a clue. Maybe delete your installed BBM and App World, reinstall App World and then search for the new BBM and see what happens.

in your phone's web browser, go to blackberry.com/messenger and you can download it directly from there.
