RIM is launching BIS 2.4 on Saturday, September 15th. In BIS 2.4, new customers setting up BIS service can access their BIS account without setting up a username or password. When the user wants to adjust their BIS account from the device, they are auto-logged in.
If a customer ever needs to access their BIS account on a computer, they must create a username and password. Once a username and password is set up, the auto-login capability is disabled.
Key Info:
Existing customers all have BIS usernames and are unable to take advantage of the auto-login ability.
Filters, auto-signature, and auto-forward settings cannot be modified from the device, so users needing to set those up will have to set up a username to access the webpage from a computer, disabling the auto-login capability.
Changing equipment can be done from the handheld. Auto-login users will need to re-verify all of their integrated e-mail account passwords.

thanks for the heads up!

I think you should put this in a thread in the t-mobile section so everyone has a heads up about the service outage during upgrade.
