Maximum Contacts Limit for Blackberry Messenger
Not many people are aware that there is actually a limit to the number of contacts in the Blackberry Messenger application. Not until they have actually reached the limit set out by RIM. When our www.BerryIndo.com Blackberry device reached around 1000 members when using BBM 5.0.0.33, we received a message as shown in the picture below:
Max number of contacts reached.
Please delete an existing contact before adding a new contact.

This limit has since been increase d to about 3500 maximum contacts when our BBM was upgraded to v 5.0.0.57 When faced with this message, it is quite unclear how RIM handles the situation as we are still able to click on OK and keep accepting invites. We had reached 5.500 contacts once in our BBM contacts list.
screen shot: 4029 contacts + others (ever reached 5500 contacts)
The invites keep coming in and until one day, our Blackberry hangs totally. The BBM application is still there but did not want to launch hence we have to delete and reinstall BBM again. Once installed, our BBM contacts went back to about 3.500 the rest being lost even if we have backed up remotely and memory card. If we try to restore from memory card, our BBM will hang again as the data seems to be corrupted.
237 requests and 142 unread chats every morning when we wake up
Up until today, our BBM still keeps receiving invites and we keep accepting them however, we are unable to boradcast any message at all, everytime we try broadcasting, our BBM hang and we have to start the process of recovery all over again… and again… and again…
We even experienced a total BBM failure without sending a broadcast. This makes our Blackberry useless and hence we have to start consider seriously on how we should handle our BBM contacts list soon.
We apologize for any pending invites, or disappearing contacts list and we sincerely hope that RIM could solve this issue of maximum contacts limit.

Coba di Split ke beberapa contact Categories, 100 per contact Categories, dan kirim BM per Categories (Satu persatu)

Itu memang tips yang tepat.
Anda sudah berhasil menggunakan BBM dengan berapa contacts?

@Blackberry Indonesia Community, 900an contact… kalau di tambah lagi bakal tambah lemot… itu di Split 50contact/categories … sebelumnya, waktu masih dalam 1 Categories, nggak semua terkirim BM nya. Setelah di Split baru dan di kirim dgn cara di atas, baru bisa lancar terkirim kesemua member
saya pake Storm 1. Mungkin Memory Internalnya yg kurang besar, kalau nambah contact lagi bisa hang. Semua Aplikasi yang bisa di Remove, sudah di remove semua. #BBKhususBM
Memory Internal-nya sekarang sisa/free 1mb
Ada saran, agar bisa nambah Contact tanpa nambah lemot ?
*SeriusNanya wehehe…
