The Blackberry on my hip is still purely ornamental in nature.

Still nothing here in the DC Area. Resend of Service books results in nothing. PIN messaging is down, etc

I have yet to leave my office for fear that I may be SHOT

Yes I am on BES

We seem to be up and running. Chicago. BES with 15 users.

Pending messages finally going the other way!! (down!)

WOW!! You're the Chosen ONE!!

on BIS and BES i just received emails from 3 hours ago. Maybe it is starting back up from the RIM side?

Come on baby... daddy needs his server up

I am now able to send, but not receive. Yes, I'm on BES.

Queue slowly going down... no SRP disconnects in a while... Could we be back up???

Statement from RIM - VIA NBC NEWS

RIM Statement:



There is a BlackBerry data service interruption that is causing intermittent service delays for BlackBerry subscribers in North America. Voice and SMS services are operating normally. Research In Motion is currently working towards a resolution and will provide an update as soon as possible. We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience.

My pending is still going up

my BB is still just a plain old cell phone for now. on Sprint in SoCal.

Same here.

wouldn't now be a better time to buy shares? Buy low, sell high ?

messages are coming in now at my place in Portland OR

Just starting to flow again in Chicago.

No improvement. SRP dropped after a couple hours.

<N/A> | BlackBerry Dispatcher Y (Application Event Log on Y) | 02/11/2008 18:42:37 (X) -> [SRP] Dispatcher\SRP Connection dropped, Error=0

Pending starting to go down.....slowwwly.

Also just finally received an email on my BIS Blackberry.

I envy you.

Same issue here -- been down since ~3:20PM EST.... Been disconnected from AT&T's hold twice, and RIM's numbers were ringing BUSY when I tried calling a few minutes ago.

Way to go, RIM. Way to go.

EDIT-- I'm in Atlanta. Don't know why I even bothered posting if I was going to forget that ...

they are supposed to be back to normal, no root cause yet.

I've had to lock the door to keep all the wandering crackberry users at bay. My phone is off the hook because they keep calling, because thats all they can do.

I keep testing that bes server router connection and praying that srp.na.blackberry.net (206.51.26.33) comes up soon on port 3101.

I think the berry users are starting to gnaw through the door.

We're on BES (LA) and have confirmed the pending items have begun to trickling in/out.

Back to having issues again. RIM is teasing us!!

still must be going through all the rest of the servers. still VERY slow coming through on All carriers in the DC Area

When TrashMan01 tells me that things are rolling for him, then I will start to feel a little better.

Still nothing here in DC

please change the langauge in your post, this is a family site.

Still no srp connection in LA area. The 877-255-2377 number is still playing the "service interruption..." message...

down to 71000, but my own blackberry is still ornamental.

I was able to receive and send email earlier, about 30-45 minutes ago and right now I am unable to do so. The BES is queued up once again.

Well, there goes my SRP connection

I have devices on BIS as well as BES and both are down

Not good for RIM investors . . . I'm intersted to see how the market reacts tomorrow. Hopefully we will have service restored in the next couple of hours.

Rats... Server was able to push out 200 messages and then RIM puckered up again like it got ahold of an atomic sourball.

Arg. Now both Srp IP's are down.

Normally, you get how some people complain that their BlackBerry kept sending them messages non-stop and when finally the unexpected occurs and they can take a rest, they get all flustered and worried. It's kinda cute

I feel a little deficient now though, like a small part of me gone. My fingers are itching from the lack of activity.

Can't take it anymore. I need to get up outta here for a bit.

I should take vengance and post this info on the Register and Slashdot.
