BlackBerry Messenger icon has disappeared from the BlackBerry Home screen

From our own Nerdberry_Patric:

If you are using a version of leaked BB OS software lower than the versions listed below, then the latest BBM will not work and you will be required to update your BlackBerry device software to a version that is supported.

You can read more about this via RIMs KB article: Here

BlackBerry Device Software Version Minimum Version of BlackBerry Device Software Required
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5 4.5.0.85
BlackBerry Device Software 4.6 4.6.0.106
BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.1 4.6.1.66
BlackBerry Device Software 4.7 4.7.0.65
BlackBerry Device Software 4.7.1 4.7.1.38
BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 5.0.0.262
BlackBerry Device Software 6.0 6.0.0.75



Failure to have the minimum version of BlackBerry Device Software, as outlined above, will result in the BlackBerry Messenger icon disappearing from the BlackBerry Home screen.

Please let us know what version of BBM you are running by dropping us a line here on this post or heading over to the NerdBerry forums to share your thoughts…
