Are you a fan of Gmail? Do you use Gmail? Do you try and use Gmail on your BlackBerry device right now? Painful, right? Well, it seems the time for terrible integration and lack of features has finally come to an end. Or, more accurately, it is coming to an end. If the documentation pans out, it looks like March 28th is going to be a good day for a lot of BlackBerry owners out there.
Starting in the middle of the night, when you should be sleeping, Research In Motion is going to start rolling out BIS 3.0 to the North American BlackBerry owners eagerly waiting for it. (That also means those who could care less are also getting it, too, of course.) First, the good part: This is going to bring label creation to the mix, as well as deleting those same labels while utilizing the plug-in made available; it includes support for OpenDocument file-types; and WMA audio. The best part, though, is that BIS 3.0 is going to offer up two-way synchronization of sent messages and read status. Great stuff, right? Right.
The trouble is, that last bit of features? The whole, two-way synchronization stuff? That’s going to be rolled out over the Spring months, hitting region after region. You shouldn’t expect it right from the start, so don’t get your hopes up. So, come March 28th, or 29th, for some of you out there, you’ll finally be able to use a rational version of Gmail on your BlackBerry. Is this the sign of end times?
