Comments on: Widespread BlackBerry outage?

oh it’s just that blackberry is canadian and not really aware of the Fascist takeover of the United States – the problem is PIN to PIN messaging that cannot be accessed by U.S. intelligence agencies. So RIM gets slapped on the hand, shut down, until they figure out how to allow access to monitor PIN to PIN communications. If that doesn’t happen, then they will have to drop the PIN to PIN communications. NO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION CAN BE PRIVATE!
in actual fact, no communication can be private…except perhaps a whisper.

it seems as if everything is finally back to normal. I love BlackBerry’s product, and I am extremely happy to have it working again.

Well as of 745am NYC, the yahoo email seems to be syncing again, but I am very unhappy, and rather pissed off. The entire thing is very unprofessional. I pay for yahoo email plus and pay for blackberry service. This kind of thing really isn’t very good.

6:25pm 9/10/07 – AT&T, Calif. still not working – yahoo email still not syncing the way it should with blackberry. today I signed up for a gmail account and switched all my yahoo mail to gmail – getting those emails fine. Seems to only be a problem with blackberry/yahoo.

another day and no service or even promise of service. I’m going to use this to get out of my contract

I finally gave up and used the yahooPlus email forwarding option to forward my email directly to blackberry while all of these problems are worked out. This seems to be an iron-clad solution for now.

Toronto had a power failure at 2:00 pm EST which lasted about one minute on Friday (Sept. 7). Was very, very windy at the time.

Have been able to send and receive e-mails all day.

This is why you stop being cheap and get BES, I’ve had no problems all day, but I never use the BIS portion.

8800 – no email today, iphone filled in nicely. 2 major outages this year, not a good sign for the RIM management or shareholders. I guess more customers is more trouble than they expected.

No emails since 8am PDT. Internet and texts only. AT&T has no idea when it will be fixed.

Tmo BIS in KC has been hit or miss all day. A call to Tmo at 11:30 CT indicated it was a RIM problem and that was expected to be fixed sometime late this evening.

Emails have been coming in very SLOWLY since about 5PM CT.
