    The BlackBerry BIS 2.8 upgrade will occur overnight on 10/2 - 10/3. Customers will not have access to BIS services during the four-hour upgrade period. This is non-provider specific and will effect all US Blackberry device users.

    "There is a RIM infrastructure upgrade scheduled for 10/03/2009 at 2:01:00 AM EST. During the maintenance window RIM will update the BIS Platform to Version 2.8 that supports the Americas; according to RIM all Blackberry Internet Services are expected to be down for 240 minutes. According to RIM this will affect all carriers on the North America Relay."

    What about non-North American carriers ??

    Also, would all carriers worldwide be getting this update soon?

    Thanks

    I take It this update should make the internet browser browsing!! A little faster for the Americans. If this is the case, then Europe should be soon.

    The downtime will likely just be for email and nothing else.
