Blackberry BIS 3.0 Coming This March

 

BIS 3.0 is set to released on March 21st. While some will be happy and some will walk away unimpressed BIS 3.0 is coming at some point followed up by BIS 3.1 as well. Details about the two new BIS offerings have been anything less then short. As expected, the BIS 3.0 rollout was to come in early 2010 and March seems to fit that bill just right provided RIM keeps target.

RIM plans on keeping their rumored internal release date. There are great additions but OpenOffice support alongside WMA support coupled with Gmail 2 way synch for read/unread status isn't exactly on par with the likes of say the new webkit browser by any means.
