BlackBerry Outages Across North America

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the iphones-are-just-slow dept.

TheHappyMailAdmin writes "BlackBerry service in North America is out: no email, no BB Messenger and no web browsing. Last carrier estimate I got was 24 hours until service will be restored, with others saying they've gotten estimates from support from between 3 hours to 2 days. BES and BIS services are impacted, and it's across all carriers. Bad timing for RIM as people are wrapping up their holiday shopping..." Updated 18:11 GMT by timothy: Reader notheusualsuspect pings with a note that the service has been restored.

  1. Christmas Shopping now? Um... No. by happy_place · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Who does online Christmas Shopping on the 23rd? There's no time for delivery, and it's just mean to do to the poor FedEx/UPS carriers. Give the poor guys a break and order ahead of time. 'Sides, if you're going to give a gift after Christmas, prices are better after the holidays. So you might as well wait...

    P2P can mean Point-To-Point as well as Peer-To-Peer. The point is you made a big hissy fit over something that you yourself do and something that in inconsequential.
