The third party addons rely on stripped email content, thus it never looks the same. I tried HTML emails on beta and it looked very nice. The full release have it removed, which sucks.

why does this bother people so much? there’s already other applications for the blackberry that allow you to view the emails this way

well it’s official, for me at least, my contact in RIM has confirmed to me that it won’t be in SP5 but in a release later this year. It will also be in BIS 2.5 which will probably be later this year too.

Wow, that’s a pretty bad move on RIM’s part.

Ugh – this is SO frustrating. The Curve could be such a great device. C’mon BB get with the program!

Story about an analyst tipping that Apple may release Exchange support at this week’s iPhone SDK event.

I would take a decent to-do list and an alarm that can be set for more than a single alert WAYYY ahead of viewing HTML mail. And how about a “Today” page that actually displays useful information instead of the home page that exists now?

Everyone has different needs – for me, a delay in HTML email rendering is a non-event. Blackberry has far more urgent software update needs that apparently aren’t even in the pipeline for development.

I love my blackberry (I’ve tried win-mo, no thanks) – but I hope their development team hasn’t recently been hired away from Palm, which is how it is starting to look.

RIM is behind the 8 ball. Since switching over to a fantastic all-in-one WinMo device, I’ve packed the blackberries away for good. The King is dead.

“Regardless, with Exchange support coming for the iPhone tomorrow…”

Really? This seems like it would be the headline for all the tech sites. I can’t find
anything out there on this.

Ok… SERIOUSLY!?! What is so hard about this RIM!?!? There are already companies selling this service for Blackberries!?! How hard can it be do release… especially since it’s already being done via third parties!

RIM is a company overwhelmed by their own success. This latest news along with their constant server outages tell me that they are having major growing pains. They need to address them pronto if they want to stay on top.
