How can a few "me too" posts bother you? Compared to what happened at VT, it's nothing!

I don't know if you were personally affected by yesterday's events...if so, please accept my deepest sympathies. Perhaps you should step away from the boards for a while then?

If not, either lock the thread if it is against the forum rules or simply stop reading/posting in it.

I find it amusing that there is a reported NATIONAL OUTAGE and everyone wants to say "I Called My Carrier And They Said There Is An Outage With No ETA".

In other words, me, too.

My reference to VT was towards an outraged poster complaining about BB stability.

In any event, please keep posting. I am running a pool for the total number of posts in the "BlackBerry is down" thread collection.

Good reading.

Default Recent Updates - 04-17-2007, 10:12 PM

Has there been a recent update?

My company was told it would be fixed at 8pm MST. This is clearly not the case. I have been on hold for 30+ min.

We do get sporadic emails, they come through about 1 every few hours.

Listen to you guys. Your lives are being run by a small Canadian box. I love to see grown men cry over email.

Interestingly enough, this thread had switched gears from a blackberry outage to a conversation about the bitter moderator from NJ. So, now, instead of the repetitive comments about the outage, we can post repetitive comments about what an a-hole he is.

Obviously nobody is interested in your antagonistic commentary. To that, I say, "me too."

NJ has a point, though. RIM has classified this as a COMPLETE outage with 100% of its users affected. When services start coming back online, or whenever RIM sends out notifications of resolution, then it may be a good time to start back with people replying to this thread (and others like it).

Simply put, EVERYONE with a BlackBerry is down for their RIM-provided services.

Good night.

Hopefully our nightmare will be over tomorrow.

And here I thought it was because of my upgrade to 4.2...I've had NO data service for about 3 hours now. I noticed a friend's Cingular BB wasn't working either, I thought that was kind of strange. Sounds like a big outage! Hopefully it will be back up tomorrow.

Here's lookin' at you NJ...

"Me Too!"

hit and miss emails coming in to our Blackberry devices since 7pm or so EST. Reconciliation features seem most affected, email delivery to handhelds least affected.


You had me at EHLO!

The glass is niether half full nor half empty, rather, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

For those trying to get into the irc channel and it says it's full... ooops. we can't get an admin to remove the limit. try joining #blackberry_outage instead.

What I find most interesting about this is that *one* outage can take down the entire continent (or whatever parts of it); I mean, what ever happened to redundancy, rerouting and multiple backbones? How in the world can we be 100% (according to the post above) offline, is the system that non-fault tolerant?

I don't pretend to know what goes on behind the curtai
