I have heard about this issue a few times today since BIS 2.5 went live with Windows Live push mail. So I thought it would be worth pointing out this Knowledgebase article that Remzi sent me.
Turns out that if you have Windows Live Messenger running on your computer it will not let your BlackBerry work [...]

Last year RIM updated their Technical Knowledgebase to support RSS Feeds for topics spanning their entire solutions base. Granted not all topics may be covered but there is enough to keep you going. This is a great resource for learning the ins and outs out your BlackBerry and you will hear it quoted quite often [...]

For those of you who have not had a chance to keep up with the news lately. Larry Dignan of Seeking Alpha did an amazing job writing up what I call the “state of the smartphone.”
He basically explains the current situation with Palm, Apple, RIM, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Google, & Motorola. The reason I am [...]

Michael & Josep sent me a link to a post by one of the admins of the official BlackBerry support forums. Turns out that Unite! that we have all grown to love is now available in North America. In short this just means that you don’t have to download it from a Canadian IP [...]

While reading this knowledge base article on RIM’s site I ran into a bit of a snag. You can read what I mean below:
Important: HTML content cannot be created when forwarding, replying to, or composing a new email message.
So how long will it take for us to be able to send emails that are not [...]

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 [...]
