My fault. I mean rolled out I.e. Released, not pushed.

No worries. Let's all wait and see...

Nah, after reading the thread about the problems people had with the Vodafone 4.5 release for the Pearl, I'll wait for Tmo's release.

Ditto here.

Even though "Automatically download images" is set to "Yes", I still have to go to Menu / Get Images / Yes - to download images for every e-mail.

Maybe it is a carrier by carrier setting.

Hmm some e-mails actually have the images showing correctly without having to click "Get Images".

Trying to work out the logic here. Will wait for some more HTML e-mails / newsletters to see if there's some correlation.

Why? Because I consider HTML mail useless, a waste of bandwidth, and an indicator that the sender is incapable of making an articulate point without the help of crutches such as flowers, bells, and whistles?

Just asked O2 Ireland about this and they said they performed the upgrade over the weekend. I logged in to my BIS and deleted all the accounts and added them again, got the service books sent etc and when I go into options I dont have any new lines as shown in the first post.

Am I missing something here?

You need to have OS 4.5 for your device.

Yep. Got that also. Late on Saturday night/Sunday morning on here
Running 4.5.0.37

Try a battery pull. Re-register via HRT. Re-send service books from the website again. Delete/re-add the email addresses, make sure there's some delay time between them.

Also, create a new hotmail account and "try" to integrate that on your carrier's BIS website. If it works, then it's confirmed, your carrier is on BIS 2.5. If not, then I guess the rep who told you about the upgrade just made it up.

Have pulled battery, registered through HRT and also resent service books and still nothing. Going to try remove and recreate accounts again now. When you say make sure there's some delay, do you mean between deleting and recreating or between deleting each one?

Eg. I have 4 a/c's on it currently. Do you mean delete 1, wait, then another, wait, etc etc or do them 1 by 1 and wait between delete and reinstall

You can try: deleting everything and re-add everything again like after 5 or 10mins? If you have set up filters on some your email accts, please proceed at your own risk. You will be losing all of them with the deletion...

But I suggest you go with trying the Hotmail workaround I mentioned earlier just to check if your carrier is (indeed) already on BIS 2.5

Woo Woo Woo! I have Html Mail here in India on Airtel!

Tried to sign up for a Hotmail account a few times and seems their signup server/system is down, so I remembered I had an old Yahoo mail address and I reactivated it and added it using the BIS page and still no luck.

In the meantime, O2 told me "Version 4.5 will allow customers to view emails in full HTML format once approved." & "A minority of our customers will have already upgraded to a non O2 approved version of firmware. These customers will not experience difficulties when attempting to receive emails in HTML format, but they will not be able to view this on their Blackberry."

Hmm funny you should say that...... wonder if it's related but I can't seem to download any images for HTML e-mail.

The HTML e-mail is fine, but no external images will display? Embedded ones work just fine, but if I get an HTML newsletter for example, and click Get Images - nothing happens........

I have the following happen: (Pictures in sequence)

1) New e-mail comes in
2) Click Get Images
3) Click Yes to prompt
4) Nothing happens
5) Picture of my settings

OK. Been meaning to ask. What are you guys using for screen caps?
Maybe I can add a few to show....by the way @nigeltrevor, I dont even get the same as your last pic. I see you are on O2 UK

What do you get?

Just the same old regular options

Confirm Delivery
Confirm Read
Send Read Receipts

Here we go.
This is the view I have now. Same as always

I would guess blackberry uses browser to download images. What browsers do you have on your device and which is configured as default browser?

Just have the normal BB browser, and then Opera mini 4.1.

The default one is unchanged, so Internet Browser.

As a matter of interest, any time I click on one of my attached images above, it will either show half or quarter of the image or show a blank page! I have uploaded attachments to numerous forums before and never had any problems. Did I do something wrong?

Really? Sometimes when our systems are crashing it likes to send an HTML formatted table to my phone.

If you can please give me a better method to do this I'd be very interested.

Zup everyone I just got my hotmail registered on my curve,but even when I already got the hotmail icon on my screen,I'm not receiving e-mails on my device,I don't know if I'm missing something,I alrerady try to resend my service books,I already pull the battery out of my curve several times,but nothing works,all my others accounts are working fine (yahoo gmail blackberry.net) any ideas? Thank you

What firmware are you using on the phone? Is it the Vodafone Germany 4.5.0.37 version?

No, I am using a 4.5.0.42 version that I dug up.

I think it maybe something to do with .42, I am going to try out the .37 see if it's better, yes, I am on abou the get images nothing happens problem. and I am with T-mo uk.

Cool let us know how you get on

So close, yet so far....

guys I am on v4.5.0.37 vodafone release but on at&t BIS. Do i need to do anything to get the HTML email yet or is it not released yet? I thought I read where it was going to happen on the 27th?

READ: http://www.blackberryforums.com/netw...june-28-a.html

no big shocker here... but it works!!! I now have HTML email on my BIS accounts!

Im in North America, ATT

Ofcourse, i'm using 4.5

Verizon running 4.5.033 and just started seeing the option for HTML email... data started working about 9am and I had reset my BIS and I didnt see the HTML option but the menu just changed on its own to reflect..

Resent my service books on T-Mobile and the option for HTML e-mail is there now.

And I consider that to be perhaps the dumbest thing I have ever seen posted on this forum. Just because you get HTML formatted mail with flowers and bells doesn't mean that all people that get HTML formatted mail do.

I could not live without email in my business. MANY emails that I get include links to image galleries, spreadsheets or Word documents. If you think this is a waste of bandwidth or that I am lazy that is just tough nuts.

I use the Gmail applications on my phone so that these simple links are displayed properly. It is a wast of MY time to scroll through screen after screen of HTML for a simple link to a spreadsheet. This upgrade will be very welcome to me.

Have anyone noticed changes for AOL accounts? I added mine to blackberry today and it appeared with its own icon, greenish envelope with blue AOL text at the bottom.

Also, I receive emails sent to AOL account almost instanteniously on blackberry.

Using Gmail on ATT, re-sent the service books and still have no HTML.

Same here man, my problem is i cant see any Images on my emails. I dont have the "Get Images" option under menu. Do You???
