The HTML email client is not being given to the consumer/BIS users from the word go. It needs to be incorporated server side first, and then the user can benefit. BES users will update their stuff right away, and it will translate to Berrys on BES getting it right away. For those of us on BIS however, we have to wait until our respective carriers update their BIS servers to enable it. It could happen fast, it could take awhile, or it could not happen at all; it really all depends on your carrier if you are on BIS.
Side note, I have heard that due to functional issues, it is being delayed altogether, but that is rumor while the rest isn't, so...
Side note 2, both Empower and BBSmart have trials, so you can see if you like it before you buy it.
I downloaded a trial version of BBSmart today. I love the app, it makes reading emails so much easier. However my BB has froze up twice in the last two hours after the download. No previois problems. Just my .02 cents.
