This is definitely a day late, etc, but to change the polling interval, on the BES, edit the following registry key (DWORD), or create it if it doesn't exist:

HKLM/Software/Research In Motion/Blackberry Enterprise Server/Blackberry IT Admin Server/AppProvisioningPollInterval

Setting a decimal value of 5 sets it to poll every 5 minutes for example. Restart the Blackberry Policy Service and you're good.

Curious, I pushed this update out on Sunday after my company realized that this needed to be done (they didn't heed my warning about getting it done sooner). Though the update has been pushed down to all devices, when a calendar event is created on the BB, it shows up an hour late in Outlook. The reverse is not true, when the event is created in Outlook, it's fine on the BB. BES update? We're running BES for Exchange 4.1, and we haven't upgraded to SP3 yet. Downloading now.
