BIS 2.7 Upgrades!

BlackBerry Internet Service 2.7 will be rolling out 6/26 11 PM- 6/27 3 AM throughout the US, Canada and finally the Americas. Customers will not have access to their BIS accounts during the 4 hour maintenance window which will bring new features and services to BlackBerry devices, although this upgrade when looking at the changes list is rather incremental and appears to be more of a maintenance release then an actual upgrade.

Ever think that it might be the precursor to 5.0 roll out ???

Anyone know what time zone? Out west, this could mean 8 pm.

Are all the carriers implementing this simultaneously? That would be the first time. In some previous BIS upgrades, different carriers have implemented such upgrades several months apart. Can someone confirm this? I find such a simultaneous change for all carriers to be historically unprecedented.

VZW could not give me any information other than there is a data outage in my area (Philadelphia). I have not had service since 12 noon and no ETA on when it is coming back up.

All three of my phones are on verizon. The only phone on exchange is down. This is miserable.

" What time zone? This is miserable?"

I received an email yesterday about the outage. It's 4 hours in duration and starts @11pm Pacific and states it is an upgrade outage.

@Jmax25: Good luck teaching idiots how to spell. I'm still aggrevated with the "your and you're" references each day. I gave up...

By: dershbag | Date: Fri, 06/26/2009 - 17:40

I've got no BIS service on my Bold and my boyfriend has none on his 8310.

Haha, there goes my entertainment for the next few hours at work!

By: BerryAddikt84 | Date: Sat, 06/27/2009 - 04:03

By: Goodeye84 | Date: Sat, 06/27/2009 - 09:57

It's up and running for Verizon

By: Jai Manny | Date: Sat, 06/27/2009 - 10:44

By: hannont08 | Date: Sun, 06/28/2009 - 17:17

ever since the update i cannot send texts bbms or calls, i can recieve texts and bbms. it got it to work for about an hour yesterday, but now it doesnt work agian. why is this? and did anyone notice the 2 new verizon icons on you main menu?

By: CmbtSwmr7 | Date: Sun, 06/28/2009 - 19:53

I am actually in the same boat. Ever since the outage, emails and sms have been delayed (sometimes hours later) and often arrive in waves.

RIM is really making it easy on the competition.
