RIM has provided some good guides on how to setup BIS 2.5 and what you can do with it. Remzi has done me a favor and emailed a few my way. Let me know if I missed any.
What is required to get BIS 2.5 to work – Essentially tells you that you need OS 4.5+ [...]

Not much new here but I thought it worth mention for a few points. BoyGenius has scored the slides of a new RIM slideshow about BIS 2.5 features.
What I found new was:
BlackBerry OS 4.5 will be available for all BlackBerrys in September including the 8100, 8110, 8120, 8300, 8310, 8800, & 8820.
Conspicuously missing are all [...]

I know we have been mentioning BIS 2.5 quite a bit recently but its quite exciting. We finally have HTML emails for everybody on OS 4.5+. Nice work RIM!
Along with BIS 2.5 we get:

HTML emails
Attachments up to 3 megabytes
Download and save attachments to memory card. (This really makes documents to go useful)

Not everybody may get these [...]

Just as a reminder since I love to repeat myself. RIM is scheduled to be doing their BIS 2.5 upgrade tonight and tomorrow. The installation will happen on the 28th and the activation on the 29th.
The times will be from 00:00 EDT to 08:00 EDT on June 28th and a 30 minute outage sometime [...]

Seriously its like we get an outage or two a week. I feel bad for technicians on call 24/7. Can’t RIM build their network infrastructure to reroute traffic to another datacenter?
Thanks to Raffy for sending this one in. Joe Sanders just posted on www.dataoutages.com that there will be another outage on July 5th from 2AM [...]

Not sure if anybody still uses airline mileage but if you do this is an added perk of buying a Berry. I just got an email from RIM that they are giving 200 miles for 1 Berry and 500 for 2 new purchased Berrys.
What will RIM think of next? All I want is better service and software. [...]

This won’t make a difference to most readers but I thought it would be worthy of mention. Richard just let me know that the BlackBerry JDE (Java Development Environment) has been released to the public. Some of the BlackBerry partners already have access to the 4.6 JDE…
If you are interested in the latest and greatest [...]

Got an email yesterday from Derik with a link to a new promotional video from RIM. The video shows off the email, documents, and phone features of the Bold. Sadly they were not “Bold” enough to show off the web browser & media player…
Check it out at this link…

I guess I sat on this one [...]

So I have been hearing this name bounced back and forth and with the help of Gareth, Lois, Vicky, & Greg I managed to get to the bottom of it. Turns out Quincy is an application which is part of OS 4.5 Betas (and many previous betas) that reports back some configuration and debugging files. No it [...]

I was browsing the BerryReview Mobile Edition and noticed that RIM is advertising on our website. Namely they are advertising a new page that lists 13 of their homescreen shortcuts that RIM has created. I already noticed a few missing including the Goal.com shortcut we mentioned previously (and the BerryReview shortcut ).

Check it out to see if [...]
