@Luciano
Yes they can also see the IMEI. Just in case you forgot your username, the BIS admin can search it by PIN, IMEI/ESN, or email address.

And just in case you’re wondering, all passwords (both BIS and attached email account) are presented as ********. So no, they can’t check your email for you

This is only part of what carriers can see, you’re missing a WHOLE other system that works in conjunction with the “BIS Admin”, carriers also have access to the RIM relay depending on your level of accnt access, but again..no axxs to your email accounts or anything along those.

If you care about the privacy of your email you should move to BES.

Where is the IMEI? I know for a fact that they can see our IMEI too.

Can’t read your emails from within BIS. But from elsewhere on their data network, of course whoever could get that access could read your emails. Device to BIS server traffic as I understand is clear of any encryption.

Works like a charm with my 8320.
A little tweaking here and there and it vibs while ringing, pretty much like other phones I have had.

Normally only rely on vibrate when the BB is on a desk or table. Now that I can set the length of the vibration, it will help in allowing me to feel it when it’s in my pockets.
