@icase81 BES adds push for non-corporate email accounts.

@harabai I agree. BIS is important because it gives push capability to non-corporate email accounts (yahoo, google, etc.), but that should be it. I HATE how the BB browser has to go through RIM's servers, unless you manually change it to wi-fi browser which actually does direct TCP/IP. The problem with changing to wi-fi browser is you lose connectivity when you leave wi-fi coverage, and you have to switch it back. SO ANNOYING!

@TikiTeko Thanks for pointing it out. I totally missed it. :)

All email is out as well as data. I just took my SIM out of my 9700 and into my iPhone, normally a step backward as far as I'm concerned, but when RIM goes down it turns the berry into a dumbphone.

Why doesn't RIM provide updates or explanations during and after these outages? It's a joke!

I think it was down here in Utah. My phone dropped to GSM (no GPRS or EDGE) and I received no calls or messages. It could be that it was just a quiet night, but who knows.

Between T-Mobile and RIM outages, we T-Mobile Blackberry users are really taking it in the shorts today.

I have been enjoying my new 9700, but due to the outage I had to lovingly slide my SIM card into my iPhone this morning. The iPhone seemed to like that.

Hurry, patent this idea: Dual mode lights, LED above freezing, incandescent below freezing controlled by self-contained thermostat. No retrofitting of the traffic light infrastructure required!

I wonder how many accidents LEDs have reduced due to reduced downtime from longer lifespan vs. incandescent.

@(Unverified) What a ridiculous statement! It's fast and mobile.

@COCOViper I would love a glimpse into Sprint's 4G rollout plans as well as a roadmap for 4G devices, like the rumored Wimax Mifi.

I'm on their Unlimited data plan, out of contract for 6 months now, and would like to get a Mi-fi. I just don't want to re-up for 2 years on a 3G device without knowing what 4G options I'll have in this market in the next few months.
