Effective June 2, Telus is upgrading to BIS 2.3.

What's in it for me, you ask?

Quote:

Two-way, synchronization of deletes to and from the
Yahoo! Mail® inbox, as well as two-way, virtual real-time
synchronization of message status (read/unread)
Virtual real-time delivery of Gmail messages
Copies of email messages that are sent to a clients’
TELUS BlackBerry email address (i.e.
username@telus.blackberry.net) can be automatically
forwarded to another third-party web mail account (such
as Yahoo! Mail or Google Mail).
View popular attachment formats on the move, including
JPEG, BMP, TIFF, RTF, Microsoft® Word, Excel and
PowerPoint®, Corel WordPerfect and Adobe PDF.
PowerPoint presentations and PDFs can be viewed in a
convenient slideshow format.

I seem to recall someone saying it would support audio attachments, but there's no mention in this (admittedly brief) announcement.

Anyone currently on BIS 2.1 will be automatically upgraded. BIS 1.8 users will have to log into BIS at http://telusmobility.com/blackberryemail and click a few things.

Rogers too. Looks like everyone's on board. I was under the impression they'd had it since May 12, but the thread indicates they were delayed till tomorrow.

Seems logical. I was thrown by the carriers' marketing-speak. Telus and Rogers come across in their respective announcements like their employees stayed up all night nine days in a row and one guy's finger got torn off in a server just to bring it to The Valued Customers.

I thought on BIS 2.1, the "Virtual real-time delivery of Gmail messages" already exists.

Log into your BIS account > Click on Help > then click on Legal.

The current version number will be displayed.

I don't think that works, because mine says:

"At the time of publication, this documentation is based on BlackBerry Internet Service version 2.0."

I would think verizon would be on 2.1 at least by now.

Verizon is now on BIS 2.3 but emails are not coming through. I logged in and resent the service books but still have not received them yet. Guess they are having some problems.

Same here with T-Mobile, and I've done the same as you.

Rogers Bis Seems to be upgraded as far as i've seen

Tmo is upgraded.You can now receive appointments and accept or decline them, they are also automatically added to your blackberry calendar. You can also receive wav files as well. You should "i believe" have 2 service books per email account. One cmime and one cical

But you are correct, it appears they have upgraded to 2.3. Gmail still does not work without POP enabled. I thought 2.3 allowed Gmail to work without having pop enabled. I wonder why it still doesn't work.
