"no downtime"? Surely, the writer was high.

Delays now 1 hour and growing. If this is attributed to RIM's network expansion, they need to find a better way to manage it.

More/long outages=lost customers

bb stuck on GSM (even with resets) in DC. AT&T. No emails

RIM redeems themselves if the "upgrade" is due to adding html email capabilities. Let's see that next OS.

My BIS is running fine in California, but my phone wakes at 7AM PST so might have just missed the party.

Sure they have downtime, they can't get email when their Treo's are rebooting for no reason all the time.

...the network is up but still slow... just an hour ago I wasn't getting anywhere...

back up in EDGE (not lower case) in DC at 2:30 EST

Interesting to note, during all this, RIM stock is up 4.39% for this day, at this point.

I am still getting it in spurts, not on a regular schedule.

it starting working again, after shutting off at 9am...now the emails are about 30 mins delayed...i'm sure it'll be fixed by tomorrow morning tho

Seems like the new agency's and Wall street don't see to care much about this outage. Is it because it's only BIS and not BES, or are BB outages becoming too common? I resent service book hours ago and still nothing. Some mail is coming through but hours late. AT&T NYC.

I am getting them sporadically here on Sprint in Oregon..
Most are delayed...

@ imcdona - Nope I'm on tmobile hehe (late response I know!)

I had the same problem, I was affected hardcore when I was trying to send service books to my phone. They now have updated 3x in the last hour =)

I called tmobile, and they knew of a problem on their side.. Not sure about other carriers. Just around the time I hung up with them was when I started getting all my service book updates (1pm mst)

It just shows us that we still need our trusty PCs hah! Phones aren't infallible.. yet :(

No problems at all here.

I wouldn't call two outages in 10 months common (I think it's up to 4-5 in 4 years). Perhaps it's just me. *shrug*

Agree with Jibi

Common was having to restart my WMD or treo 4-5 times a day

And it was never an actual outage... it was data maintenance that slowed down data over the networks. Personally i never lost BIS or BES access, but apps that required BIS internet were affected on my end. (ie Telenav)

i am getting loads of weird messages and expired certificate messages on my blackberry. gonna check out bes

I tried deleting and re-adding my Gmail acct to BIS and it didnt prompt me for any addtl settings...just said it was added.....there is no way to edit advanced properties within BIS?

Now that comment brought back some painful memories ...glad I smartened up and got a

what advanced properties are you trying to edit? once you put in your email + password thats all you need.

I am using IMAP and swore that I had to indicate SSL encryption and a couple of other things within BIS.

dont have to set anything up, BIS has all the settings it needs.
