If it isn't working:
- Send us a log from your BB by going menu->Show Log then menu->Email log. Please provide as much information as possible
- Are you on a corporate BES? Are there any device permissions which
may prevent you from using this application? If so, which ones?
(there is currently a known issue with Corporate BES permissions on
certain devices)

Things to test:
- Turn-off your Wi-fi and try it on 3G, how fast is the Web application
refreshing your BBM?
