Yeah, the first leaked version had that issue. I have the latest leaked version of OS 5.0.0.230 and it is flawless. You should download the official bbm 5, way better than the leaked beta.
It rocks! You can actually add anyone to your bbm contacts to text them using bbm format, even if they don't have a Blackberry. The barcode scanning is awesome.
Those with BBM, I encourage you to upgrade to the latest version, BBM 5. One other cool feature about it is that we can form BBM Groups, in which messages go out to everyone in the group and everyone can chat simultaneously. We have a DB group going on and I have sent request to all DB members on my bbm list, but I think you will only get it if you have upgraded it. Great way to send out trade and sales alerts to everyone on the BBM DB group.
Get it on the wild and crazy conversations we have going! LOL Plus, trades tend to happen on BBM before even getting posted on the site. Get 5.0. Get in the group. Have some cheese.
For those with BBM 5, here is the barcode you can scan with your BB to join this group. I am posting it as an attachment, so that only DB members can see it. When you join, please let us know who you are on the forum.
I just cant afford the plan right now. and I got a new phone in the spring to boot. so Im up shits creek for now.
