BlackBerry BIS is dead, everywhere, again

Yep, looks like it’s that time of the month again. Comments and emails are pouring in about another BlackBerry network outage, this time apparently affecting all carriers across the US and Canada. BIS appears to be dead while BES users seem to be rolling along just fine. From what we can gather using our time line of “good lord, BIS is *&%!@#* again!” emails, it looks like problems were intermittent at first — delays and such — and now we’ve moved on to a full-on outage with no emails coming through at all. So tell us, if you can manage to stop pulling your hair out for a few seconds, where are you and how’s your Berry?

Thanks to everyone who sent this in

    How’s my ‘Berry? Great — in the hands of a new owner. I went back to Windows Mobile and I must say, no outages out here for the Bill Gates Phone crowd.

    I live in southern california mine was fine until about 7:00PM when it went out for about an hour. No data, and phone calls and sms was very slow. However, everything worked fine on my mom’s blackberry. Kind of weird.
