Blackberry email goes down…again
This is getting a little bit ridiculous, folks. We here at BGR have trouble putting our Blackberries down. Seriously. It’s a problem. That said, we’re getting a little bit frustrated with RIM following the 3rd service interruption in 9 months, and the second in a week. It’s poor form. Following the notorious blackout last year, RIM promised that it would never happen again. Hollow promises, as around 80% of all Berry devices in the continental US have been affected by a service outage that began around 3 am this morning. No carrier has been spared, with reports of crippled devices from Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, Nextel, and Sprint. It seems that some users are finally getting back up online, but there’s been no official word from RIM regarding a projected time of resolution. Forgive us, but we’re beginning to question the reliability of our beloved BlackBerries. So sad, they’ve turned into Sidekicks.
Verizon in LA down. 8:00am
Verizon in Florida is working fine. E-mails to the devices arrive immediately.
RIM is certainly opening the doors to competitors who are hungry to take market share from them with these outages.
That’s why I love my Goodlink devices! Whoo hoo!!
well im with Sprint…yeah yeah yeah. anyway. i do have to say, with all the problems i’ve had with my Pearl 2…i sold it yesterday and gonna jump into a Touch today. i know i know but hey i need a brake. seems like there was always something. im hoping they put the sh!t together for when the Curve hits CDMA and ima get back on.
My GMail started pouring in after bringing up BGR on my BlackBerry’s browser. Ironically, with this post staring back at me.
Json hey at least your no on t-mobile
Yeah emails just started flooding in on Tmo dallas….this really is quite pathetic now.
Verizon in Mid-Atlantic seems fine?
I haven’t had any issues with Verizon in the Midwest.
What problems are you experiencing with the 8130? Just curious, I’ve been using one for a few months and haven’t had any issues.
Verizon in Chicago is a little delayed. Sending an email seemed fine….but receiving is not happening.
Verizon in Minneapolis, working great. Also was working great during last weeks “outage”.
T-MOBILE IN CHICAGO…..NO OUTAGE
ATL is down w/ ATT.
Att in cali. No outage
@ Verizon Guy
I haven’t really had any problems.
I occasionally have to do a battery pull, because of memory leaks, seemingly related to Opera Mini.
But, overall, it’s an excellent device. If Verizon didn’t disable GPS, it would be just about perfect.
Not to add insult to injury BGR, but my email is pouring in just fine on my sidekick 3. Its not exactly the same as a BB but my outlook mail is getting to me without being dropped.
I am a Sidekick user, and I have never had a service outage. Dropped signal, yes. Service outage, no.
finally received my message….about 15 min later
Tmobile in Washington, DC is fine. I never had a glitch last week, either!!!
T-Mobile in Kirkland, WA (East of Seattle, West of Redmond),
I have always experienced a delay on my Yahoo Mail, but on my work e-mail never have I had an outage.
I told yall in my last post. Wackberry.
So, where the heck is the Pearl 8120 that is supposed to be released on T-Mobile on Feb. 18 w/ wifi??? No more updates??? Come on BoyGenius…get with it.
BES on ATT in WI, IL, CA and Sprint in FL, CA, CO, and NY are all fine. I got 500 users around the country on differenet providers with no problema. You guys sure there is a problem, I dont see it posted anywhere else.
@IHateMyTreo HUH, Verizon LA here, wasn’t down this morning, been receiving emails since at least 6am.
