Yeah, this sucks. I know exactly when it stopped working for me. I was on JiveTalk and then BOOM…nothing worked. Still isn’t working. No web, no JiveTalk (aaaaah!), no nothing. This is seriously pissing me off. **And my rant is complete** (not much of a rant, huh?)

This is just a lil’ BS, BGR you should check the facts just a slight bit better as it was NOT a complete BIS outage, it revolved around mostly AOL accounts and was AOL’s issue NOT research in motions.

I kept up to date with everything starting yesterday morning until the outage was clear on the BB-Outage mail list at http://www.c2security.org/mailman/listinfo/bb-outage

I noticed the outage. I was wondering why I didn’t have any new email. I logged into BIS and resent my service books. All email is coming through fine now. I’m on AT&T

Mine was down for a couple of hours last evening. But yes, I had a pretty good idea what had happened when I got the email on my desktop, but not on the BlackBerry. Oh well. At least it’s back up.

I didn’t notice anything wrong as I seemed to get all the email on my Pearl via AT&T BIS with no delay as far as I could tell.

While I had my BlackBerry off for a good portion of the day anyways, no problem seen at all in Minneapolis with VZW.

It actually seemed to go down a few times today here in Atlanta. I have groups of messages at two or three different times even though the actual “sent” times are all different.

as far as I know, AT&T is having a problem. BIS is working perfectly fine. Guess you just like to rant against RIM, eh?! Makes a juicy report though…

You know, I thought there was a problem about 3:30PM EST, and I thought to write this one in, but hesitated when it came back around 5:00PM. Guess I was right, another RIM outage.

This is exactly why I think RIM should support industry standard email/web/MMS connectivity over GPRS/EDGE for people (like me) with regular data plans who are not interested in using push email, not to mention as a backup when their servers go down.

I am surprised that no one was reporting that AT&T had a BlackBerry data outage this morning. I have a couple of emails from our rep that confirmed the nationwide outage. But that was a AT&T only issue, no other carriers effected. Not sure if this is the issue reported here.

RIM is suffering from popularity. As more and more people come on board with BB, their limited servers can not handle the load. Time to start beefing up your infrastructure boys, otherwise any gain they make will drop right in the toilet.

Unlike the other two outages, I’ve been getting gmail emails all day on Verizon (sometimes in batches of 2-3 emails a few minutes late, but nothing that would have prompted me to believe there was a network problem).
