BlackBerry Messenger 5 has been officially updated to version 5.0.0.55 and is available for download. If you are running BlackBerry OS 4.7 or higher you can pick up BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.55 on BlackBerry App World (eventually), or, by pointing your device’s BlackBerry Browser to http://www.blackberry.com/messenger.
There is no changelog for BBM 5.0.0.55, so, if you notice any changes, leave us a comment and let us know about it.

Well? I downloaded; got a java.lang error and then got an Application Terminated: Lists has been denied the “Cross Application Communication” permission.
After downloading BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.55, my spell-check has disappeared completely. And I’ve heard from at least 20 others who’ve had the same experience: no spell-check function available after downloading BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.55.
I’m using the 8300 Series, and currently am at BB 4.5.0 Core. But I’ve heard from others who use other types of BB having the same problem; I’m not sure which OS they were using.
got to have the latest OS for it to work… I have no problems whatsoever…
Looks like spell check is disabled for me too. Well, at least it is consistent!
Have the Sprint Tour, no issues with spell check. Love the UI.
There is an option called “Sort chats by” that can be set to either “alphabet” or “activity”. Was that there before? I never noticed it until now.
Sort chats by was there in .33
Well… There is a change but I don’t know if it had anything to do with the BBM update. The google, wikki, dictionary and live feed tab on the blackberry browser is gone. It only shows bing now.
I downloaded this new version and when I want to delete a chat it asks me to confirm if I want to end the chat or not. I did not have this with the older version, can anyone tell me if there is a setting to change this.
I have the O.S 5.0 on my 8900.. I tried downloading the Blackberry Messenger 5.0 but the icon doesnt appears.. Anyhelp?
