How would we know?

I don't have a definitive on that for you, but just try to use the purported "new" features such as logging in from your handheld w/o needing to input password or username. Look at the post with the new feature list and try to utilize any one of them. Since the features haven't been confirmed yet, as far as I know, it's a crap shoot anyway.

Or, you could just wait til it's confirmed, checking back here often. I know, no fun in that. hehe.

I still don't have message status synchronization with my gmail account. I cant say for yahoo mail, because I dont use them.

I have a 7250, on Verizon. Maybe that feature is not supported on this model?

Do you mean that when you read or delete an email on Gmail, it doesn't show as read on your BB? Or vice versa?

I have tested it several times in both directions. I still don't get notification sync, in either direction.

As for deleting emails, it has always been very unreliable for me, in terms of the delete reconciliation between BIS and Gmail.

I noticed documentation on 2.4 on the RIM website about two weeks ago. You might want to go there and download a copy for review as it might answer some questions.

Anybody have instant IMAP fetch yet?

I see you listed yourself in your profile as having 2.4. I am not sure the 7250 will upgrade to the 2.4, regardless of the features. Certain features will also need to have a 4.2 OS

I thought so yesterday, but its still normal polling.

I don't think we have 2.4 yet (at&t) because one of the features was automatic login from the browser. I am using the BB browser and it is not logging me in automatically like the 2.4 release notes said. So based on this I can only conclude that the update (at least for AT&T) never happened.

It states once you logon through the internet you will no longer be able to logon without a password, "New users only".

Thanks for that bigme. Funny, wireless meetings, read/delivery receipts...a few of those features have been active on my 8830 since I've had it.

This is true. When ready, I do not see drastic changes from 2.4

I understand RTF document viewing is new in BIS 2.4. I sent myself one earlier and it was displayed on the BB just fine. Is this an indication that Rogers has implemented the new BIS or is it nothing new?

Is this feature theme specific, becuase I haven't noticed the yahoo logo icon on any of my yahoo mail that's on my blackberry?

I deleted my account and re-entered it and now I have the Yahoo icon.

Wait, do you have to delete your entire account to upgrade or only to use this feature???

Ya, but my yahoo has been like that since I got this and its been months. I've always had the yahoo mail icon. I'm with AT&T btw.

I just deleted it off the BIS web site "just Yahoo mail account", and then re- entered it I can also receive and look at vcards now.

I have never noticed it since I set up my account over a year ago.

Yes Yahoo has had the icon for quite a while now.

Zerog,

So you are stating that you cannot use the 2.4 features unless you delete your account and re-enter it? People with less that version 2 are prompted for an upgrade but what about all the rest of us??

No I just did this so I can have the Yahoo mail icon on my phone try sending yourself a contact as a vcard to your bb and see if you can view it before you save it.

Just tested it. Still can't view vcards.

I just tried it again and it works for me, You have to scroll to the v card in the email and it will say view attachment and you can view it.

the biggest different on bis 2.4 is auto login..

which is a pain for user who frequently tested new device, must be deactivated first by login to your bis website using desktop or maybe using operamini to revoke auto login feature..

if you using your email setting to login to your bis website, it will show change handheld procedure, beware please make sure you know what are you doing even there is a funny thing that we are required to answer if we are going to change to the same PIN :p just choose -NO-

this feature is great for a new user

and by the way apac (asia pasific) using this new bis since last week.. at least my carrier is

beware if you take your simcard to other blackberry, make sure on the bis website that you are tied to right pin.. (unless you have revoke the auto login feature , so you must login to change handheld)

and other new feature, is if you create user must accept agreement first before creating user name, and for existing user there a end agreement link on the bis website (haven't tried this)

cmiiw, at least that what i known from the new bis 2.4 ..
i miss my bis 2.3 :D

This doesnt work on my Pearl ... no auto login love. BUT, my parents just got their 8820, and it does auto log in.

That's right. According to RIM's documentation on BIS 2.4 the auto-login option only works on the device on creating a new BIS account. And if you use the web interface thereafter, the auto-login from the device no longer works.

Ahhh I see this makes sense then! lol

Are you guys referring to the RFC standard IMAP IDLE? It will most likely be back in a future release, it may just take a while. Us IT admins need to make sure we fully support IDLE before they will activate it again

Exactly. For example, if a user needs to setup Mail Connector (SMC), they will automatically lose the seamless login feature whether they like it or not.

Sure hope so. Remember that the IMAP server must also support concurrent connections.

We couldn't do this before? I have sent Vcards but never received and saved before.

I tried to send myself an icalendar and I am still not able to save it.
