I have installed Blackberry Enterprise Server 5.0.1 with Domino 8.5.1 and this seems to be working fine. The transporter tool works very well allowing the users to be smoothly moved across without any indication to them. I will miss the old Blackberry Manager admin program but the news web interface will allow easy delegation of role based controlled access to Service Desk personnel.

Well done RIM. They have made the upgrade nearly as easy as upgrading a Domino server.

Benefit of upgrading BES from 4.x to 5.x:

Google Chrome v5 now has automatic integration with the Google Translate service. It detects when another language is used, on a web page, and offers to translate it into the users own language at a click of a button.

Seems to work very smoothly and gives another excellent reason to use Chrome.

I have seen these error messages, in the 8.5.1 (and FP1) client, which display "Cannot save bitmap to disk" when sending or saving some emails.

Technotes state that this has something to do with an active OLE object. The only workaround, that I have found, is to use the Internet-Style forwarding or replying.

Hopefully this will be fixed in FP2 or 8.5.2.
