i found this article, if u read at the bottom, it states that you can do Over the air updates. if you have 4.6 or "later", if you have BES or BIS, doesn't matter.
BES currently and even on 4.5. Nothing for BIS yet.... I NEVER said it wasn't possible. I said it wasn't available yet. Don't put words in my mouth please.

Is every Blackberry using either BES or BIS? I assume everyone has BIS to start but can configure BES with their enterprise server. Am I correct?
BES/BIS provisioning depends upon your carrier. True, but you will not have BES capabilities unless activated to a BES server (usually happens from a company you work for or even a 3rd party providing BES capabilities to you tied into your own company's email server when you don't have a company that wants to buy BES and host it themselves.) This is usually called Hosted BES services.
So, for the majority of users out there who just buy a BB for personal use, it's just BIS capabilities. Yes, eventually BIS will be able to do OTA as well... at least that's what previous leakers have issued as statements, but it was speculation as to how they could support so many people since the backup of everyone's data would have to happen during this upgrade and then restored... all OTA. Very similar to the way BES does it, but obviously for the average Joe. This was all discussed a few months ago when 4.5 leaks were coming about the ability for OTA updates first presented itself.

Well ... not to start anything, but I quote your statement in the early thread ..... "THIS IS NOT YET POSSIBLE PEOPLE."

Yes, OTA OS updates under BIS not possible yet.. That was the subject at hand if I remember correctly. I even stated that there is a small possibility that the manager Str. talked to could have been BES connected and hence explain their OTA abilities, but that it was incorrect for them to imply that all Storm users would have this ability on release.
