I'm in TN and so far today my Blackberry is working just fine. Sorry to hear it's down in other areas.

I live in New York and everything is a-okay with my T-mo blackberry service. I hope it stays that way.

I'm here in mid-town New York and the data service has been extremely spotty all day. I'm experiencing extreme delays on all my incoming emails. Some have yet to arrive after 2 hours of waiting. Is it carrier specific? I'm VZW

What is going on!? I woke up this morning to find out that my blackberry pearl will not even connect to the network! or any network in fact! I live in Anchorage, AK but my signal has always been great up here so I am a little confused! My husband also has a blackberry that is doing the same thing! this is crazy!!

Got that last night in NYC around midnight... did a battery pull and it was fine.

Today I was typing and my bberry rebooted itself and then said something about the memory card being removed... I didn't have one in there to begin with.

Currently Verizon Wireless is not showing any known outages on the blackberry network. If anyone is having consistent problems with connectivity and is on the Verizon Wireless network definitely call in and let us know so we can get in touch with RIM about it as quickly as possible.

Thanks all!

I think too much emphasis is bring placed on RIM when these so called "outages" occur, their is entirely too many factors in these case, people are quick to jump on RIM and lay the blame on them, few too many people realize that the past sayy...1-2 months issue had VERY LITTLE to do with RIM themselves...their has been supposedly 3-4 so called outages, lets have a look at them.....first their was the Yahoo incident...NOT RIMS fault...all blame belongs to Yahoo for updating servers and failing to communicate with customers...next we have a GPRS/EDGE issue, customers were unable to browse (get emails as well) for the most part on AT&T services....NOT RIMS fault..this was based on AT&T service being the sole problem, which extended into any other GSM carriers that rely on AT&T roaming agreements...next in line AOL for the past 3 days anyone with an AOL account found their accounts no longer valid or suffered from latency..once again NOT RIMS fault...AOL..like Yahoo fubarred their servers without any communication...out of all those incidents any one can see with the explanations behind them none of it is RIMS fault...out of the past 1-2 months their was probably 1 case that fell on RIM and that was when they launched BIS 2.4 which caused problems when logging into BIS accounts.

Today i had many hours without BB service in santiago of chile. I call to provider and they fix the problem.
The BB display said: "coneccion de datos rechazada" (data connection refused")

Things seem to be working but on a few hours delay. Of course no one from t-mobile can answer my questions. I just hope it is all cleared up by tomorrow. Work will be awful with out my 7250 working at full speed!

My curve is up and running again.Never did get an answer to why I could not send or receive emails. Delay time about 5 min. I'm just happy somebody fixed (aol/blackberry) the problem. LG from B'ham.
