Errr but where's Reddit?

Can't wait until my BB finally syncs gmail status. It's been annoyingly stupid for too long]]>Feb 5th 2010 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 5th 2010 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 5th 2010 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 5th 2010 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 5th 2010 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 5th 2010 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/
What are you talking about? I have used the Gmail app on my Storm 1 since day one and it syncs perfectly fine.

I know a lot of people are geeked about it but I hate that it doesn't cache anything. The normal email client on the Droid has a similar problem (at least with crappy Yahoo POP3) - it at least seems to try to keep a cached copy but it's constantly losing the cache and going out to the network to download again, which takes forever. Both clients work fine sometimes but far too often it takes 30seconds or more to re-download the day's email, and that's just silly.]]>Feb 5th 2010 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/that's bizarre! I had a Storm 1 from launch and we specifically tested the Gmail App on the Storm 2. Read/Unread status and deleting on server or deleting on device did not sync between the phone and gmail.com every time I tried, and I tried a bunch of times. Maybe I was doing something wrong]]>Feb 5th 2010 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/I only tried the Droid for two weeks but I never had a problem with my Gmail downloading. I guess I was specifically jazzed with the ability to report spam right from my phone :)]]>Feb 5th 2010 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/
I only use the app when I need to check something in my archive, sent folder, etc. Searching in the app is also good.

The current Gmail plugin for BB mail supposedly has a universal archive search function, but I've had mixed results with it.

I'm glad RIM is finally doing this.]]>Feb 5th 2010 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/This was really annoying.

IMAP is an email protocol, like POP.
BIS is exactly what its name implies: internet service. Just a data connection link. It's what allows for data (including emails) to get "pushed" to the user. Using IMAP (or POP, for that matter with Blackberry's integrated message system) does use BIS.]]>Feb 5th 2010 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/I just worded that badly. I know imap is a prtocol but the author suggested that rim should have imap support that completely circumvents bis. Which, as I said, makes zero sense.]]>Feb 5th 2010 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/
It's hard to see them adding ActiveSync though because it removes the rationale to use BES. I think they need to adjust to shifting trends and give users something less than full on BES to connect to Exchange.

RIM also promised BIS GMail contact sync this half of the year. I hope that's still on track.]]>Feb 5th 2010 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 6th 2010 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 6th 2010 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 5th 2010 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 5th 2010 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 5th 2010 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Feb 5th 2010 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/rims-bis-3-0-email-features-apparently-leaked-finally-does-gma/Us BB users have been settling for mediocrity for far too long.
