Blackberry Cool seems to be stating that they heard a rumor that BIS 2.4 will be available tomorrow

That will be cool if it does. Crossing my fingers...

For which carriers? I'm assuming you mean VZW?

? Why Verizon? They are always the last people on the planet to adopt new stuff.

hdawg · 09-15-2007, 08:06 AM

OPs Carrier indicates VZW ... hence the reason I assumed that.

BIS 2.4 coming this Saturday? Has this been confirmed?

Perfect Storm · **OS:** 4.6.1.114

If it's coming to one NA carrier, it comes to all of them at once.

tomdkat · **OS:** 4.7.0.114

Did this happen today?

Doesn't seem to have changed yet. I have BIS accounts with both SunCom and Verizon (temporarily) and I can't tell any change in either system.

jeremyckitching · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

No change in mine yet...

akosnitzky · **OS:** 4.5.0.160

In the past, how long has it taken the carriers to release, once its available?
I remember waiting quite awhile for 2.3 to come out.

akosnitzky · **OS:** 4.5.0.160

Below is the link which explains in more detail as to what 2.4 will offer.

blakeatl · **OS:** 4.5.0.102

Not much to get too excited over.

Driften · 09-15-2007, 03:50 PM

The upgrade will happen on T-Mobile tonight at 11pm-3am PT and blackberry internet email will be down during the upgrade.

ameagle987 · 09-15-2007, 04:14 PM

So this is an automatic upgrade for all existing BIS accounts?

Driften · **Yes.... -** 09-15-2007, 04:31 PM

Yes its my understanding that all T-Mobile BIS/BIE customers will be upgraded automaticly. Its mostly a server side change.

cwosigns · 09-15-2007, 08:29 PM

I think my VZW 8830 does all of this stuff already.

I agree with you. I am not reading anything that we could not do with the 2.3 version.

dandrzejewski · 09-15-2007, 10:57 PM

This appears to be live. My Yahoo! mail account is now a Yahoo! logo icon with an envelope.

butter71 · 09-15-2007, 11:07 PM

is there an easy way to tell the BIS version number?

specifically, how do i tell if cingular/at&t's site is running 2.4?

thanks.

i have the same icon with BIS 2.3 on cingular/at&t.

flash24 · 09-15-2007, 11:31 PM

at least it's an upgrade, bring it on!

harryzuluberries · 09-16-2007, 12:59 AM

I'm with Sprint and I just tried logging into my BIS. I'm unable to at the moment, but I can get into my BIS email settings on my device. Does that mean anything.....I don't know. Guess I'll know soon enough.

Yeager · 09-16-2007, 01:49 AM

I haven't been able to login to my Cingular/AT&T BIS for a few minutes, so I came here to the forums to see if anyone else was experiencing this. Of course, I found this thread. BBF always has the answer!

Thatzmister2u · 09-16-2007, 01:53 AM

Wont let me login either.... maybe its dropping.

zerog46 · 09-16-2007, 01:57 AM

Same here with VZW.

nuopus · 09-16-2007, 02:05 AM

Okay I thought I was going crazy because I couldnt get logged in either!!! You guys/gals are life savers I was about to swim back to the Philippines with my BlackBerry phones as paddles riding the same banana fronds that got me here in the first place. WHEW! Thank god I did not have to do that!

nuopus · 09-16-2007, 02:54 AM

I just want to be first to point out that I can log in to BIS once again. How do I check the BIS version number?

whsbuss · 04:30 AM

Well I think the new BIS 2.4 has been implemented, at least on VZW. Just did a few tests with on of my IMAP accounts and I am getting instant (30 seconds upon receipt) email delivery.

Anyone else seeing this?

EDIT: well I thought it was instant. More testing shows normal polling. Sorry.

I logged in from a PC. How would we know if a change happened? Last time I had to have my service books resent.

harryzuluberries · 09-16-2007, 10:20 AM

Woke up this morning, and i'm now able to log in. I have no idea however to know based on the end user interface if the BIS has actually been updated.

skalover89 · 09-16-2007, 10:42 AM

Hey guys when I go to Options->About it says v4.2.1.107 (Platform 2.3.0.83). Is the platform the BIS version? I'm on T-Mobile btw.

Mine says v4.2.2.67 (platform 2.4.029)

Dawg · **OS:** 4.5.0.138

that has noting to do with bis come on guys wake up and act like you know something.

jollygrunt · 09-16-2007, 01:09 PM

I still have to log into BIS with user name and password on AT&T v4.2.1.96(Platform 2.3.0.78).

Same here. Still need usernm/pwd logging in from my BB.

zerog46 · 01:31 PM

In the article it say new users won't have to login, just noticed that. I still can't save a vcard address yet.

harryzuluberries · 09-16-2007, 01:21 PM

Well, looks like it isn't live yet. You mean I have to actually act adult and delay gratification? That's not fair! Lol.

I laughed when I read this too! LOL But then again, you can't fault people for not knowing. Consumers don't need to know the relationship between the platform they are using, and the BIS/BES that seems transparent to them. If everyone knew the inner workings of network services or their hardware, there would not be a market for support now would there?
