Hi,
I noticed a few posts talking about the new BlackBerry Internet Service on T-Mobile. It was upgraded and launched on October 1, 2005.
I like to call it the "Imbedded BIS" vs. the older "Separate type BIS" - since the BIS is not imbedded in the main T-Mobile screens.
It has many enhancements over the older "Separate BIS" found at other carriers today:
1) Much Easier setup of your email accounts
2) Support for Exchange, Outlook Web Access, Lotus Notes, etc.
3) Ability to configure email accounts on the Web Site (PC) or on your BlackBerry!
4) Much simpler lay-out
5) You can even setup VIP email alerts with filters on the BIS - filter all messages from a specific sender to be "level 1 messages" - then on your BlackBerry adjust your profile so "level 1 messages" give you a specific ring tone or vibrate/ring. (This works on all BlackBerry Models - not just 8700c)
FYI - I've documented the step-by-step instructions on how to use and modify the T-Mobile BIS and the "Separate Type" BIS in my latest ebooks.
