Yet another BlackBerry outage?
We’re hearing a lot of reports that RIM’s BlackBerry network is down again. This isn’t confined to one carrier (we’re on AT&T and ours is a wrap). It looks as if Waterloo has acknowledged the issue, and classified it as a "critical severity outage". Not looking good. Let’s go, readers. Are you down for the count? If so, list your carrier!

My Pearl is out. I am with Sprint. I just got an email pushed to me but browsing through the built in browser is a no go. Opera is working however that is how I am posting this.
my att curve 8310 has been retarted for that last couple of days . . . right now i just re sent the svc books and now it works . . .
I’m in pasadena,ca and was down for about 8 hrs. I’m just starting to get messages. No internet in that time. Currently my internet is loading slow.
BIS and BES on Movistar Argentina (Telefonica Moviles) were down.
T-Mobile in So Cal is ok
BBerry is back up in San Diego. Both SRP addresses are responing consistently now.
Its up in Springfield, MO
Just came back up for me on Sprint in Utah.
VZW in Minneapolis, MN has been up all day with no noticed hick-ups, and I did periodically check and use my BlackBerry during the course of the day.
Vzw in baltimore md.. def was affected.
I’m good. At&t in Jersey. But I must say, the Curve is my first and my last BB. I’m honestly sick of these outages for what I’m paying a month for this damn Berry. I shouldn’t even be worried about an outage. 3 strikes…you’re out!
iPhone here I come!
Servers are back on line, should be working for everyone, might have to register on HRT.
I’ve had consistent use of my email from 3:00 PM EST onward. In fact, I’ve gotten emails about every 10 to 20 minutes.
Fresno, CA email is down (TMo), but BB Messenger and text are good to go. Last Email received (BGR Yahoo Alert!)@4:06pm PST
Thats why im glad i didnt get a BlackBerry. You pay extra for the service and its always down. Good Luck!
att in miami was down for only 6 hours yesterday.but up and runing today
I am in la and on Verizon I am working ok I was down for about a hour but haven’t had any issues since about 1:45PM.
gamze,
Your list of BlackBerry models shows, among others, BB 8330, which would be the CDMA Curve.
Do you know something we don’t?
Keep on Crackin’,
- CB
AT&T in Honolulu, Hawaii
up, but slow in receiving emails
For all you BlackBerry haters and you’re ‘oh BB sucks it’s always down’
Oh shit you cant get email for 3 hours. IVE WASTED MY MONEY ON A STUPID BLACKBERRY.
3 hours and everyone acts like the world is over, get a life.
Don’t buy a BlackBerry. 8760 hours in a year, and for three of those you won’t get email, effectively making it 8757 hours when you CAN get email wireless.
Wow what a horrible product?
