Oh noes! BlackBerry addicts everywhere have reason to panic this afternoon, as their beloved network is indeed experiencing technical difficulties -- and it's certainly not the first time that this has happened in the past year. Reportedly, an e-mail sent by RIM support account manager Bryan Simpson affirmed that a "critical severity outage" had taken place. The message went on to say that it was acting as an "emergency notification regarding the current BlackBerry Infrastructure outage," that was (is) affecting enterprise subscribers and "users of the Americas network." So much for that "won't happen again" line, huh?

 

love my iPhone

 

+1 . . . . . .

 

So what does this mean actually... that people can't check their emails? or can they not use the phone at all?

:ugh:

 

I don't know about you guys... but mine has worked perfectly fine all day.

 

Mine seems to have not gotten any new emails since 4pm EST

 

That's cause no one likes you!

Strange, mine worked fine all during this period.

 

 

i sent myself a million service books yesterday until I saw the official outage announcement. It wasn't a big deal, a day without instantaneous email isn't so bad every now and then.
