You’ve probably heard by now that the BlackBerry outage most everyone experienced yesterday was caused by the last two releases of BlackBerry Messenger, versions 5.0.0.55 and 5.0.0.56.

RIM is asking via their official BlackBerry Help Twitter account that everyone update BlackBerry Messenger on their devices to version 5.0.0.57, which was released just yesterday.

You can pick up BBM 5.0.0.57 on BlackBerry App World, or, download it OTA directly to your BlackBerry by visiting http://www.blackberry.com/messenger from your devices BlackBerry Browser.
