Regardless of the fact that BIS 3.1 was pushed out under two months ago, we already have a rumor on what 3.2 will hold for us!  Remember to take the following information with a grain of salt, as this is purely rumor.  Google Calendar sync will be added (for those Google-ites such as myself), interface and security will both be improved, as well as BlackBerry Protect integration.

For those of you already using Google Sync, you understand how the process works.  For those of you who don’t, let me explain.  Google Sync allows one to sync both their contacts and their calendar to a google account of their choice.  This allows contact checking and use of calender, even when your device isn’t on hand.  Google Sync will not become integrated into BIS (minus contact sync) for those of you who prefer staying 100% RIM.

The security update will basically demand at least 8 characters for your password, instead of the current 6.  Automatic login will also be improved (from your device) allowing you to quickly access, edit, or add new email information.

BlackBerry Protect contains a massive amount of information.  For more information on that, click here.

This sounds like a much needed BIS update, although I find it rather minor.  It seems like not much is contained within the update, and RIM is really falling behind the game for me.  I feel like I signed up for a reliable, well balanced, well supported device, and what I’ve received is below expectations.  I love RIM, but they really need to step up to the plate.  BlackBerry 6 seems to be the beginning of RIM stepping out of their comfort zone, but they need not stay there too long.  They better pull out the big guns and take aim on something larger than a UI overhaul.
