BlackBerry BIS 3.0 been up and running for some time now

RIM’s North American BIS servers were out of action for a while over the weekend since they were undergoing an upgrade from BIS 2.8 to BIS 3.0, which means your devices ought to be able to take advantage of new BIS 3.0 features by now. Google Mail integration is still in the works back on the 28th, but we do know that some of the changes would include additional language support for Basque, Catalan, Galician, Romanian, increased attachment compatibility for OpenDocument presentations (.odp), OpenDocument spreadsheets (.ods), OpenDocument text (.odt), OpenDocument text templates (.ott), Windows Media Audio (.wma), improved email setup flow for HTML access that will allow BlackBerry uses to “reclaim their email address if their BlackBerry Internet Service account is ever deleted.”, xHTML Support for non-Thick Clients (allows for the use of buttons, additional fonts and color controls when users access and toggle their user settings), device switch revalidation and hosted email address passwords.
