I just got a tip from one of our readers who, wishes to remain nameless, that the new Service Pack we have been mentioning is now available for BlackBerry Alliance Partners. This is a good sign since the official May 11th release date (shown below) seems to be on track.

The reader also mentioned that he has tried following the instructions Jibi mentioned on BoyGenius [...]

The thing that shocked me about the latest press release from Zenprise was not the product features. The crazy part is that they have cataloged over 6,000 things that can possibly go wrong with your BlackBerry! Seriously that has to be a ridiculously long list. I started counting the ones I know to myself and [...]

Well if you remember us reporting about the much awaited BES Service Pack 5 you will be sad to note that the unofficial date of February 29th is today and there has been no release. As Fadmin has pointed out on BlackBerryForums.com the official general availability date is now March 11th 2009 2008.

This has to be one of the most anticipated service packs for BlackBerry Enterprise Server. We have been talking about it for ages and jibi on BoyGenius has the latest scoop along with a bunch of slides showing the new features and considerations for the new release. I know I cant wait for my BES [...]

Seriously after so many years you would think RIM would have learned how to remove Single Points of Failure from mission critical services! While this is not going to make people run out and buy a Windows Mobile device it will reduce peoples confidence in relying on their BlackBerry.

I came across two posts over the weekend that really perked my interest and decided to share them. First are some live screenshots of OS 4.5 and BES 4.1.5 SP5 live in action. This is some pretty hot stuff delivered courtesy of Jibi from BoyGenius showing us just what to expect in these new releases. It seems [...]

Well you know how RIM likes to make promises? They have finally delivered on one they made months ago by partnering together with Verizon to release the small business oriented BlackBerry Professional Software. This software is more of a watered down BES for 30 or less users.
You can read the glorious press release below:

RIM has recently been making some serious promises and has yet to deliver on any of them. The funny part is that they keep their new devices under tight wrap until they are released but when it comes to software they just talk and talk for months in advance. These scheduled updates will (supposedly ) [...]

I an email with Josep of Miblackberry he reminded me about a RIM powerpoint released in October 2007 showing the BlackBerry Server roadmap. This powerpoint mentioned clearly that BES 4.1.5 was supposed to bring Rich Content and HTML to BlackBerry emails.

My question is what ever happened to BES 4.1.5? We are waiting RIM! BBSmart and Empower have [...]

I just got an email from The Message Center about a free upgrade for all of their current and future customers. In October The Message Center upped their storage from 500 Megabytes to 1 Gigabyte. As of today the 1 Gigabyte storage has been increased to 3 gigabytes. That translates into 3 Gigabytes of storage with [...]
