I have no changes. it's still where it always hass been.

I'm on Telus and my service books link as been moved but I seem to be receiving emails just fine. I also deleted and readded my Hotmail account and the Microsoft Mobile Services Protocol is now optional. The protocol allows for syncing but also makes you re-enter your password every 90 days.

I noticed that it was gone and freaked out and maybe thought that the update was not finished or something, so I resent through email setting on my device. Glad to see that it is still there, although I think it was a mistake to remove the Tab on the main screen.

Forums is gonna be flooded with "Where are Service Books on BIS?" now

I'm on AT&T. I woke up at 9am this morning and did have all my emails and they're coming through fine. I checked the BIS page and Service Books has moved under Help, so I'm wondering if they did upgrade to BIS 2.8 early this morning?

Thanks for the nice tip!

woke up this morning and had all my emails already on my phone. Using tmobile.

My Storm 9530 is operating like normal and did all throughout the night on Verizon's network.

Sprint is changed too. I got emails all through the night with no delays.

Bell BIS service books also moved under help. No disruption to email

I have gotten email this morning but not from my gmail account. So my question is where can I find this so that I can current this issue.

for the verizon BIS.... the send service book is in the help page

Verizon's BIS page has been changed over for well over a month now. I thought this was probably already posted about, or I would have jumped on it.

Yeah, I noticed this. It happened here around 2:00am. Hadn't really done much with my phone but I had receieved emails. Then when I go to send myself an email to start working with it...BIS was down.

I just upgraded to 5.0 on the 8330 and thought not getting any emails was a problem. Sprint's BIS doesn't have the service books and had I been checking CB like I should have, I would have seen the upgrade was happening. But...I just deleted and re-created my email accounts. Good thing I backed-up all my emails last night because all I have to do now is restore all my messages.

Ahh....the wonderful world of Blackberry!

Swisscom is like 9 month like this.......

Well
I went onto the Blackberry/Verizon site and couldn't find the Service Book option.
My view was the same as the one shown above but no tab or option for service books.

You should have the ability on your BB device.
Email setup, enter your BB mail name and password.
I think theres a option on the page that will appear on the device.

No change to BIS layout or service interruption afaik.
It has always been unclear to me if a BIS upgrade is carrier dependent or not. ie - is this happening on RIM servers and the pages are "skinned" for each carrier or something else?
Also, is there a way to see what version of BIS you are on, either on the website, or on the device?

i was trying to log on to the BIS sight yesterday and the site was down. i was able to log onto the BIS from my phone though...? wierd!

Me too, checked my Telus bis account and it was moved. All emails coming through.

I just checked my BIS and realised the very same thing!

My shaw email is still coming in up to 10 min late but at least it is coming in. Was hoping the upgrade would increase the speed but no luck :(

No change on the T-Mobile site...emails have been delivered on time since last night.

Tmobile will upgrade 3 years from now. don't wait on it.

I don't really see any changes on my Bold 9000 running .297 - how can I confirm whether or not I've received this update? And shouldn't there be settings somewhere for the Google Contacts sync or it just gonna do it on its own?

No change - all emails have been delivered and have been on time -- TMO taking its time or is RIM taking its time?

Been under 'Help' on Orange UK BIS for a while.
Took me a while to find it too when I needed it!

All appears to be good. Not sure of any changes but my E Mail from Aol and BB are flying in almost instantly. So far so good. Hope this is a sign of continued improvements.

I did not have any emails this morning and have not received any so far. I should check my BIS. Oh yeah, I am with Telus.

I just logged on @ 1.12pm EST and click 'help' and low and behold "Not receiving email? If you are experiencing difficulties sending or receiving email from your BlackBerry(R) device, send service books to your device. Service books determine which services are available on your device." with the 'send service books' button.

So, i sent the service books and yep, i got the email.

sigh.

My phone Is still the same as it ever was. What's goin' on t-mobile

Tried to get my email working today. I was told delete all my service books. So I did. Email started working. But my device is randomly restarting now. Hopefully that mean my GPS will start working?

only restarted two time by its self. Hopefully that will be it.

Rogers have implemented the changes. All is working well for me.

wataniya kuwait and also other carriers here in kuwait
service books has always been under the help section

Good to go on at&t, emails still were coming through okay. Logged onto service books and resent anyway.

I havent seen any changes on my storm yet. Im on verizon and have .151 so im not sure how I can tell.

Oh c'mon Crackberry, you're better than this!
It's not like it was some accidental misspelling, just a general failure at spelling an English word. This is just pathetic.

It's SPORADIC, not SPARATIC.

I deleted and entered my gmail account info today and the new gmail sync was there.
