after playing around with the new software, my only complaint (so far) is that when using blackberry messenger, you have to click where the actual conversation is in order to clear the “new message” symbol and stop the indicator light from blinking. usually, i just leave the conversation open and just start typing when a bbm comes in, so this is a small adjustment to the old software. so far, not too bad though. definitely a lot faster than the old operating system. ---

did you check your downloads folder? i think thats where mine was. if worst comes to worst, download the blackberry app world and then download the newest version from there (i believe its 5.0) ---
