I'm running 5.0.0.230 right now. The delete/add theory is a good one (that I already tired) as it usually solves all of life's email problems. No-go this time, though. There's supposed to be a check box on the BIS management webpage, but I get no check box; there's supposed to be 'Google Mail' (or something) under Contacts' options, but all I have is "Default."
I'm wondering if maybe Verizon did something with their BIS (if they even could) that disabled the feature until 5.0 is 'official.'?
Will this do anything differently than Google Sync has done for a while? Google Sync has done such a great job at this I'm really afraid to try this new feature.
It'll do the same thing, and google sync does calendar too. But I can't get google sync working on 5.0.

That's interesting. I upgraded to .230 for a few days and Google Sync worked just fine for me. I don't particularly care for the OS but that was definitely not one of my problems. I wouldn't have carried it for the two days I had it if it was.
carrier has nothing to do with BIS/BES settings...all they do is confirm provisioning a la features on your account. RIM checks against those to ensure you're only getting service books for what you pay for
if anyone is restricting/enabling access to this feature, it might be RIM...but i doubt they'd enable/disable per carrier
Looks like VZW's BIS 2.8 features aren't active somehow... patches, do you think there'd be a way for them to anti-provision devices? I understand they don't control BIS, but they do control what the device can see, right?
well this is what i cound and still can't find what they are talking about
Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, this feature might not be supported.
On the BlackBerry� Internet Service web site, in the left pane, click Email Accounts.
Click the Edit icon beside your Google Mail� email address.
Select the Contacts check box.
Click Save.
After you finish: To stop synchronizing your contacts, clear the Contacts check box.

So... maybe BIS 2.8 is a bust? It doesn't seem as if RIM's touted added features are in place. Maybe the boys in Canada haven't flipped the switch yet?
