![blackberry messenger 5 0 0 56 BlackBerry Messenger Version 5.0.0.56 Now Available For Download Fixes Missing Spell Check Bug [Application]](http://blackberryrocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/blackberry-messenger-5-0-0-56.jpg "blackberry-messenger-5-0-0-56")
BlackBerry Messenger was just updated to version 5.0.0.55 and it looks like RIM has updated it yet again less than a few days later. Version 5.0.0.56 is now available for download and so far the only obvious difference the return of Spell Check, which many of you mentioned was gone in version 5.0.0.55.
You can download the new version OTA from blackberry.com/messenger. If you spot any other changes be sure to leave them in the comments!
Well, that didn't take long. Just the other day BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.52 was leaked to the interwebs and now we have .53 floating around and most importantly .54 is now up for OTA download. Word of caution of course it's NOT official by any means so if you decide to download make sure you at least make a back up first. Also note, only 4.7 + and higher plus the servers are likely being crushed with requests so if you are not able to download it the first time, look in the comments for a mirror of the file or just sit tight till the rush passes. (Thanks for the pic, @Sloth26)
If you didn't get in on the OS 5.0 action yet, you may want to give it a go this time around. It has been less than a month since we saw OS 5.0.0.230 leak for the Tour, and today OS 5.0.0.273 for the Tour 9630 surfaced on the web. Reports are mixed on this one, so be sure to let us know how it works out for you. As always, use caution when installing a leaked OS.

It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release.

Earlier this morning the BlackBerry Storm2 was made official by Vodafone and RIM. Associated with the press release was a features and specifications file for the Storm2, which I’ve included after the jump followed by a link to the PDF document (courtesy of Marketwire) for those that would like to save a copy.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 has popped up on the T-Mobile Germany (translated) site and is being shown as coming in November.
So much is happening this week with all the unreleased devices (although the Storm2 is now official). Yesterday BlackBerry Operating Systems were leaked for the Bold 9700 and Storm2, the complete Bold 9700 User Guide was leaked, and now T-Mobile Germany has it up with features and accessories.
T-Mobile USA is already sending out invites for a launch party on November 5th, so maybe the November 11th launch date holds true? We’ll find out soon enough 
Earlier today @AtilaUno let me know that there was a rumor of a new Facebook version for BlackBerry getting released. It looks like this rumor turned out to be true because RIM has officially announced the new version!
New features in version 1.7:
Here are some helpful knowledge base articles to look through:
Unlike the Storm where is seemed like we had to wait forever for new OS leaks to show upafter the device was released, Berry Review landed links to some leaked OS' before the device release. Both the Storm2 9520 and Bold 9700 are represented here, so those of you who have managed to track down a pre-release device can jump in on this, or if you just want to prepare for the arrival of your new BlackBerry you can grab the OS ahead of time so you're good to go on release day. This release is for the Storm 9520 not the 9500/9530. As always with any leaked OS, use caution when installing and don't break your new toy :-).

* Update: It seems those of us running leaked versions of OS 5.0 are good to go!!!! *
We knew it was coming as we saw this email drop to some partners earlier in the week, so it was just a waiting game. A lot of you have been playing around with leaked versions of BBM5 and never wanted to see a standard BBM version again - well now you don't have to! BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 is now officially available in BlackBerry App World for devices running OS 4.5 and higher. Check out the link below to download. As for what's new in BlackBerry Messenger 5.0, here's the quick summary:
* Note: While BBM 5.0 will definitely work on official releases of OS 5.0, we're not sure yet as I post this if it will work on previously leaked versions of OS 5.0. Be sure to report back in the comments if you're having success or not, and back up your BBM contacts before upgrading. *
Any Storm 9500 users out there who have not upgraded to a leaked 5.0 OS should enjoy this one. 4.7.0.181 has just shown up online, be sure to check it out if 5.0 is not quite your thing. And as always disclaimer shown below as this one is not an officially released version.

T-Mobile UK has released an OS update (v4.6.1.305) for the BlackBerry Curve 8520.
Remove the “BlackBerry Internal Apps″ before installing this OS on your device. This can be found in your PC at Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
DISCLAIMER: Install at your own risk. This is Leaked/Beta software that is not guaranteed to be stable, and therefore will not be supported by RIM or your wireless carrier should you run into some problems. As a precaution, if you decide to upgrade, it is highly recommended that you make a backup before using this software. If you are not comfortable using Leaked/Beta software you should probably wait for the next official release. *
