5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
These are some of the issues BES 5.0 confronts with improvements to the BlackBerry Monitoring Systems, giving vastly improved visibility and controls. There will be better reporting, and meaningful information advising just what’s happening inside the BES and on handhelds. As for the question we all want to know – when? RIM has not yet announced a release date, but we know BES 5.0 is already in production with ten early adopters. If history is any guide, it will be unveiled at RIM’s BlackBerry Developer Conference in April, no doubt in conjunction with the application storefront. The big problem is that the BES isn’t released to individuals but to carriers. The big wait will be between April and when AT&T, Rogers, Telstra, Vodafone and the like finish conducting their own testing and review process. I’m tipping widespread release for the second quarter of this year, with most carriers having it available before the end of June 2009.
