Vital Message: Dear BBM Users, Do Not Upgrade Your BBM, Follow These Steps To Get The Old Version Back!!!

Dear readers of life, I want to categorically inform you that the new BBM version 8.0.0.94 is so annoying, I tried it and it slows and freezes my phone...argh! When I even tried to send BC *yeeepa* I was just hanging and I was like why did I use my hand to download what will give me headache?

Trust me BBM sucks when it hangs, my opinion, better you go back to the old version 7.01.23. Wonder how you would do that? The steps below are there to guide you. If you can not memorise all the steps, just get a smaller phone (I used my nokia torchlite) and type d steps there cos you gonna be working on your BB for some minutes!.....trust me I did the same and I got my old version back! You too can!

1. On your BB go to Menu
2. Select Applications in your Menu
3. Run Blackberry Protect and backup your contacts (if you don't have blackberry protect, download it by clicking this : http://mobileapps.blackberry.com/devicesoftware/index.do )
4. After back-up is complete, go back to Menu
5. Select 'Options'
6. Select 'Device' inside Options
7. Select 'Application Management' inside Device
8. Scroll to Blackberry Messenger and delete it
9 After deleting is complete, it will ask you to restart your phone, let it restart'
10. After your phone restarts, just type 'about' at the home screen of your phone and some icons will pop-up (Browser History, Social Feeds, Facebook, Options, Help etc)
11. Select Options and Click 'About Device Versions' to see your Blackberry OS version
You will see an option that looks like this...
Blackberry (R) 9900
smartphone (3G, CDMA, Wi-Fi)
7.1 Bundle 921 (v 7.1.0.267, platform 5.1.0.230)
The red text above tells you that the device is running OS Version 7.1 (Note: Yours might be different from this...maybe 6.1, 7.0 and so on)...mine is 6.1 sha so check yours.

12. After taking note of your OS version
13. Make sure your phone Network is on 3G (for fast download ) and Download the corresponding Blackberry Messenger according to your OS from the list below...

Blackberry Messenger For OS 7.1 (http://url.prohp.net/meomg)
14. After Clicking on any of the links above, a new page will appear, wait for the page to load completely,
lets say 10 seconds.
15. After the page loads completely, scroll to the top right side of the page and click 'SKIP AD'
16. Download and Blackberry Messenger that will pop up, then RUN IT.
This usually takes time to complete but if its taking so much time lets say more than 30 minutes,
remove your phone's battery and put it back.
After your phone comes up, you will have your old Blackberry Messenger back and you say bye bye to the hanging newer version, say with me 'like duh' Enjoy! You can add me on BBM 220AE6E3
