BB 8500?

And, as far as I know, you've got to re-add all your BBM buddies.

If you backup your old BlackBerry via desktop manger and then install your backup on your newBlackBerry, it should import all of your BBM contacts and update your pin on their end.

At least it did for me.

I was told backing up BBM buddies was not possible. O well, try what mightymouse said.

I didn't think this was possible either. No disrespect, but I wouldn't mind having a second opinion on this.

Googling for an official answer wasn't very fruitful either.

EDIT: It would seem that mightymouse_87 is correct. I found another similar thread which advocates what mightmouse_87 has said. The thread is below:

If you perform a back up/restore or use the switch device wizard all of your BlackBerry Messenger contacts will be transferred to the new device.
