    Both make reading emails on a BB much better, and both offer free trials. Try them out and see which one you prefer.

    I tried both & decided to go w/Empower.

    BBSmart is slow. I mean everything about it is just slow. The purpose of an external email viewer is to see HTML mail in all it's HTML glory. BBSmart creeps when it comes to loading images.

    Empower is $30 well spent.

    They both have a trial version so I suggest trying them both. In the end I think you'll decide on Empower too.

    Empower was great. Unfortunately it doesn't work with 4.5, which doesn't have html options on my 8330 install unfortunately. When I had 4.3 it worked well. But do note that this will be a short lived $30 unless Empower gets to work.

    works for me as well. I don't see why people are still paying for 3rd party apps
    to do this.

    w/In Empowers options, check for updates. If you're using 4.5, there is an update. At one time Empower did not work on 4.5, but it does now.

    I see you have Sprint, but I dont know if your BES or BIS. If it werent for Empower, I'd be looking at some boring email w/No images.

    Not all of us are getting HTML without the use of a 3rd party option.

    I have an 8330 4.5.0.66 OS on BIS with Sprint.
    HTML works great for me.

    I did like the Empower, but with 4.5, i have HTML built in to the system. Comes with 4.5. Empower does give you more options like the background and all, but just for HTML, the stock 4.5 does the job.

    If Ur using 4.5, the version of Empower that WORKS is 3.0.70.7.
    Empower options - About - Check for Updates. I'm using OS 4.5.0.66. Empower stopped working with .51
