U.S. BlackBerry BIS upgrades to v2.5 on June 28th, HTML email to follow
It seems like we’ve been waiting so long for native HTML email support on BlackBerrys that we never thought this day would come. Thankfully, RIM is planning on upgrading their U.S. BIS system later this month, bringing a host of updates in anticipation of the arrival of their next-generation 9xxx device family. Most significantly, v2.5 of BIS will include support for HTML email delivery and rendering, a move that should finally bring the ‘Berry’s email appearance out of the stone-age. Further enhancements include support for OTA upgrades, calendar improvements, and a bit more. Bear in mind that your particular device will have to support these new features in order to allow you to take full advantage of the update, but seeing as we’ll all be carrying shiny new BlackBerry Bolds by the end of next month, you shouldn’t worry too much.
bis 2.5 upgrade has happened this weekend in the Uk. Now allows Hotmail intergration for free for ALL hotmail email addresses. With 4.5 OS HTML email looks awesome!!!
@BB does it support the 8800 series?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!haaaalleluuuujah!

Best regards.
There is an official 4.5 official release for 8310 from vodafone Germany online. 4.5 with bis 2.5 is fantastic
by US did you mean North America?
is canada going to get this as well?
tnx
will my 8130 on sprint be able to use this update?
I apologize if this is an obvious statment, but this BIS upgrade will mean that my 8320 running OS 4.5 will be able to fully display HTML-emails? It’s Monday, ok?
All reports say that after this update this weekend, HTML email will be working. It’s up to each carrier to make sure they update their BIS for this also.
Any word if the Curve 8300 will be supported?
