BlackBerry BIS 2.4 coming today
Saturdays aren’t usually the most popular product release days, but when it comes to RIM, we suppose that anything is possible. Rumors are bubbling that the much anticipate BIS upgrade to version 2.4 will show its face sometime today, September 15th. This upgrade will bring a host of improvements, including vCard, MP3, and PDF/RTF attachment support, among many others. One of the biggest attractions is the ability to log into your BIS account from your ‘Berry without a username or password, with your device acting as de Facto identity validation. T-Mobile already allows this feature, we believe, AT&T and other carriers don’t. We’ll keep our ear to the streets and let you know if it does, in fact, go live.

No go for tmo.
Wow this is pretty exciting.
It wll be this weekend, I got an email from support that my issue will be fixed this weekend when the update is released. I am on T-Mobile so I know at least T-Mo will get the update.
Logging onto T-mo’s BIS interface, it seems that the help information windows have been updated from what I remember. Perhaps the update has been completed?
Atnt customer here, have not noticed anything? Anyone have some new findings??? What about a new OS? 4.3? Whens that droppin BG?
This has gone live on att
Unable to log into VZW possibly going into effect.
These features were working on T-Mobile as of yesterday evening. Very nice stuff to have handy.
How can we tell? I’m on sprint. Is this something that we have to download or will it get updated by the carrier? Those of you who have it already is there a change in apperance?
I don’t think this gone live I still have to login to the bis with my berry.
This probably sounds like a dumb question, but I am still new to this whole world of the Blackberry… how do I check to see if have the update and what benefits will I get from it?
Looks like this is getting put under the rug. Someone spoke to soon.
