WordPress for BlackBerry is No-Go for SK Telecom
Oh, for god’s sake.
Not *another* BB app that cannot connect through BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service)… and SK Telecom has no concrete plans yet to support Direct TCP connections on their BlackBerry devices. To make things worse, the folks working on WordPress for BlackBerry don’t have any ETA on the availability of BIS connection either.
This makes the app practically unusable for me, because the only place where I have free WiFi access is my home, and I won’t have any real reason to use WordPress for BlackBerry over other full-blown weblog clients (or even a web browser).
Oh, well.

I know it’s a pain, but we are working on BIS support — hope to have an update soon. We’ll post it on http://blackberry.wordpress.org when we have news.
cheers.
Wow, I never expected an official reply to my rant, especially since my blog is new and rather obscure.
Still, it’s good to know that this problem is being worked on!
Thanks for your update Raanan!
i really love the cool features of Blackberry. my hubby and i both have Blakberries and we use it all the time to communicate.
Me too! Now that I’ve been using a BlackBerry for a number of months, I can’t imagine going back to any other phone.
Even the iPhone would pale in comparison, at least for me
