The latest batch of updates to the BlackBerry Internet Service are rolling along right on schedule, according to sources. Estimated to be launching in Asia Pacific on the 10th, Europe on the 23rd, and North America a little bit later on the 10th of October, the new update brings added functionality for BIS users, some of which will require BlackBerry 7 OS to perform. The list of features to be added is:

Improved large email and native attachment support
Subscribers using BlackBerry smartphones with BlackBerry® 7 installed can receive email messages that are up to 11MB in size, download attachments in their original format that are up to 8MB in size and view up to 300KB in an HTML email message

No interruption to email flow on SIM swap
Subscribers who insert a new SIM card in to their BlackBerry smartphone, including SIM cards from a different wireless service provider, no longer experience email flow interruptions.

Inbox priming for new account integrations
When a subscriber adds an email address to a smartphone, the inbox on the subscriber’s smartphone is pre-populated with up to 20 existing email messages from the email account.

Support staff reporting tool
Using the BlackBerry Internet Service administration website, administrators can generate reports on support staff member accounts. Reports include user, group, and account information.

Additional language support
Latvian and Lithuanian are supported by the BlackBerry Internet Service. Emails received in these languages can now be viewed on BlackBerry smartphones.
