John Cox of InfoWorld got the details on the upcoming BES 5.0 while at WES. The information is not the most detailed but seems to focus more on a trend. RIM is trying to simplify the management, deployment, and maintenance of BES. Essentially making it as transparent as possible.
For example 5.0 will allow admins to [...]

I know BBerrySync has been in beta for a long time but they have finally announced their full product. You can know sign up for their service to sync you contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, inbox, & sent messages without a BES server!!! It just syncs your Outlook on your PC with your BlackBerry. This is better [...]

I just got confirmation from one of our longtime readers, another Ronen, that the BlackBerry Unite version from Bell works on AT&T and is not carrier dependent!!!
Pretty amazing stuff. He got the Bell-Canada copy, installed it and it is working amazingly on his at&t blackberry. It looks awesome, can sync and share: Calendar, Contacts, access [...]

It was just yesterday that I emailed a bunch of other bloggers about BlackBerry Unite. It had been getting to the point where I thought Unite was vaporware. RIM came up and surprised me today by announcing and releasing BlackBerry Unite on Bell Canada!
As a reminder BlackBerry Unite allows BES like functionality for up to [...]

Josep just let me know about this company PostPath that I had not heard about before. It turns out that PostPath is attempting to replace Microsoft Exchange with their low cost Linux Mail server. I was really shocked by the claimed feature set but I will reserve judgment until I see it in action. Supposedly the server [...]

Just as a reminder the main features listed by RIM in [...]

First RIM removed HTML email from BES 4.1.5. Then In March RIM pushed off the release until the 15th of April. On the 14th they pushed it off again until the 17th of April. Guess what its the 17th of April and still no BES 4.1.5.
We still get to stare at the cute little promotion logo [...]

UPDATED: Redid the images to not have anything grayed out
To follow up on the screenshots we posted of BES 4.1.5 I wanted to show some of the new features. Some of these new features require a combination of OS 4.5 and BES 4.1.5. The main ones you will notice in the screenshots below [...]

Greg just scored some pictures of BES 4.1.5 in action from an undisclosed saint source . Not much to see but some eye candy for BES administrators. I am no guru so I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Click on the pictures to expand them. I will follow this up with a [...]

The long awaited BES 4.1.5 has been stripped of HTML emails and has been delayed once again. What a surprise. After the last delay I am surprised it is still coming out before WES. One of our readers, Snips, pointed out that the new release date shown on RIM’s website shows April 15th as the revised release [...]
