Blackberry Internet Service 3.0 Does Justice to Gmail


As everyone may know Blackberry's are considered a business user's best friend but at the same time it is ironic to see the list of unsupported features such as being unable to do two-way read status syncs with an IMAP email account, and being unable to natively connect to an Exchange ActiveSync service without being routed through RIM's back-end software. Finally one of many list of unsupported featuers which users have been complaining about since 2002 is going to get patched up thanks to a leaked list of email features in Blackberry Internet Service 3.0. Users will now be able to syncrhonize read status and sent items with their own Gmail accounts, just as if you were using virtually any other phone on the market. Unfortunately it isn't up to the user to help decide the features that come with the phone. RIM could just add IMAP support directly to it's phones that would work with any third-party email service, but that would make too much sense wouldn't it?
