Update: Reports in the forums and elsewhere show that things seem to bet getting back to normal. Pheww. Not sure what the cause of all this was, but am sure we will find out in the days ahead.

Here we go again, looks like another BlackBerry outage. Seems to be on RIM's end and is affecting both BES and BIS users across North America. Service interuption levels are varying. Click through to the Forums link at the bottom to stay on top of what's going down!

Devices may not receive new service books. BlackBerry Connect and BlackBerry-enabled devices that require a new PIN may be unable to receive the PIN.

Keep up with the outages at http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bb-outage

The Staff is made up of very well respected members in the Blackberry community and we're always improving. Look for more things to come as far as a new site design and sponsors.

I heard about this last night and this morning on the news. I am surprised my mother and I were fine for it being as wide spread as it was. We didn't have any issues at all. We are in Arizona so maybe it didn't reach us?
