It's not the biggest sporting event in the world for nothing.

My gal has been having BBM issues too... Oh well.

I was one of those people who was on BBM and chatting with other buddies as the matches took place, and it was great. Had no idea so many people were also doing the same thing but it makes sense.

My BBM has been working perfectly

Im Dutch and I was really excited to see a great final game! I was wrong. It was the crappiest reffing I have ever seen. Even though Spain won it would of been nice not having a free kick every 2 minutes. It was pretty annoying. And the cards? Dont even get me started. All in all I used my BBM like it was my left lung. Who agrees with me?

I've been having issues with BBM for the past three days or so. Nothing major, but it is getting annoying. Sent messages not going through and sent messages not updating status from D to R.

Hey Bla1ze i'm just wondering, where did you get this from? Is it in the Blackberry blog? On their website? I don't see a source...

My bbm has been acting up. The msgs aren't going through or taking a long time. RIM, please fix this.

I haven't noticed any delay. I wonder if it isn't carrier-related.

For the past couple days, I've been having problems with sending messages. No "D" or "R" will appear but people will reply. And sometimes just a check mark will show and the contact won't receive it for a while.

The BBM delays are annoying me. One message delays and three messages after it will go through. Seven-ten minutes later, the first message goes through and looks as if I just typed it. So weird.

Absolutely, I'm seeing problems. Sunday some of the messages were taking minutes rather than seconds to be delivered and some were never delivered.

There are multiple threads on the forums about this issue. Yes it's been bad the last few days. Half of my messages don't go through (no D or R) or are delivered minutes or even hours later. I've been receiving bbms in the middle of the night that are fragments of broken conversations that we tried to have earlier in the day. It's pretty stupid of them to crow about BBM performance while this is going on.

...has been stable today but yesterday experienced many issues. Some messages would not deliver - some delivered/received hours after they were sent. BBM 5.0 OS 5.0 VZW in SC.

For the last few days bbm has been very bad. D's and R's are not working properly. I've even had contacts receive messages and respond to them without the delivery or read icons ever showing up in my chat. Very annoying. Oh well.

I think RIM would do better rebranding bbm as BlackBerry Connect or something. Just seeing how they are appearing to treat it like their own twitter service by sharing music, status updates and links through it. I think it would be more used that way. Just a thought.

same here.contacts been receiving disjointed conversation bbms in the middle of the night-a girl im trying to get to know better.asked me if i needed to needed to be put on some kind of medication.youre cock-blocking RIM!

And it takes up to 12 hours to deliver or dont get delivered at all. They definitely need to do something about it.. its very frustrating and infuriating at times when its crucial that the message goes through and it doesnt.

Thank god I have an iPhone now because honestly , I was addicted to BBM and the always on . Constantly had group chats with 5 or 6 people and was on it constantly . Thank god I have an iPhone now and there's no BBM it really is like a drug. I WILL NOT RELAPSE !!! ( although the 9800 is very tempting :0 )

im having isiies with my bbm. delays and with th d and r

I use BBM all the time and didn't notice anything issues. However the Germany vs Spain match my BBM was showing signs of lagging messages took about 5 minutes to go through and lasted only during the live game. Not a big problem for me consider texting is just as annoying.

Yessss i throught i was the only one.... After the world cup, my BBM is being very slow, a couple of msg has been delayed for a couple of mins, and in 2 times delayed for like 2 hours

I've noticed the delay issues as of today, where I got the check-mark but no letters above it. It's odd, as it only happened for one msg, but the ones before and after it all worked fine. Now I have the R above the check-mark, however I know that the person I sent the msg to didn't receive it when I had the check-mark. Only issue I've noticed thus far.

BBM has ran without a hitch, no problems here

Lately, my messages have been very delayed. Sometimes it would say D even though I know the person I sent it to read it already so it should show an R. Also, some messages don't send at all and I've recieved incredibly delayed responses and out of order conversations as well because of it. Hopefully it gets fixed.

Same D/R issues. The worst is the waaaay out of order message problem. I get very confused. I just went through a month of testing out android and iPhone before deciding to continue loyalty to blackberry. As soon as I chose, stupid bbm has problems. Arrrgggghhh!!

So i am here in Jamaica and i have been on BBM day in day out. For the last 4 days now, my BBM messages are delayed and may take anywhere from 5mins to and hour to be delivered. Not only that but the native browser and BOLT is acting up as well. The pages takes forever to load. Anyone else having problems with browsing on their blackberrys?

I just turned on my notebook to update my phone because I thought it was widespread I would have seen it on crackberry like the last 2 times there were issues.

I have been very frustated with it the last couple days. lots of messages not sending and someone was sending me a picture, both times it stopped when about 90% done so we gave up.

It's nice to see so many from the USA actually knowing that the world cup was taking place.

Normally a global sport like football doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves in your country.

Crackberry's coverage of the apps and the messenger issues during the last month has heartened me to the fact that you may not be totally clueless about the world biggest sport :)

I haven't had any issues with BBM lately. Neither have any of my contacts.

No issues here - Rogers in Vancouver, BC.

Mines been acting up too since Sunday and so have most of my friends with BBs in the Lower Mainland area, Vancouver BC.

Having serious issues with BBM. Constantly not delivering or if it does go it will send first and last messages and none in the middle or will send the last one and not the first one. Can't explain it and have not seen any remedies or explanations for this??? Help RIM!!

No issues for here for me or fiancee, we live in Saudi Arabia

No problems with BBM for me. of course I refuse to even allow it on my BB. The world is way past proprietary messaging platforms.

Have had no problems with my bbm here in sa. I'm on vodacom network!

I'm also having the same problem with Blackberry Messenger with my messages not being delivered. I'll send a message and the "D" Mark won't show u. Ill send a message with my Bold 9650 on Verizon to my friend who has a Tour 9630 on Verizon and I he won't get some of the messages until like ten minutes later. Yesterday it got so bad, we had to text each other since bbm was so bad.

Interesting statistics. Makes me think of the radio station in Cincinnati that ran a presidential election poll by monitoring water usage. They asked their listeners to flush their toilets at specific times and ran the poll off of that.

I think BBM is a great option and use it all the time. I love the fact that message are usually sent very quickly, with acknowledgments. I just wonder if RIM's recent BBM push (and ads) is going to do well against iPhone's recent video conferencing ads.

I'm benn having problems wit the BBM, my message are delayed big time, is there any solution for this yet?? Please advice.

My BBM is having issue but a wierd one. I have a contact (Non BB) the message bubble is sometimes blank, or sometimes previous comments are blank, but it is only this one contact no other SMS in BBM are having the same issue??

I have not noticed any thing major. I know there was a delay last week. It was only about 1minute delay and every went back to normal after about eo minutes. All okay over here

yep i have been having delivery issues as well...some taking hours to deliver

For one day a few days ago I was having some delayed BBM msgs...but now all is well....BBM is very addictive...seems like I have to use it everyday...hmmmmm, I wonder if there will be a BBM6 when BB6 is released

BBM has been pretty slow and delayed for a couple of days

I'm on Verizon, and I've had this issue for a couple months now. In fact, I've actually had to use SMS messages more, because if the text is time sensitive at all, its much more reliable. If I just want to make an offhand comment to a buddy, BBM is fine, but for any sort of coordination, or anything important business-wise, I'm forced to use SMS since BBM is so unreliable.

I really wish they'd improve this, as BBM was a major selling point to get my sales force to adopt Blackberries....

I've been having BBM issues for the past 3 days. My messages aren't getting delivered and I am not receiving some messages. I get them randomly at 2am and 3am! I uninstalled and re-installed bbm app and that didn't work. I pulled out the battery 2 times and that didn't work. I downloaded that FancyChar thing 4 days ago too. Is that a virus? I deleted it thinking it was messing up my BBM. I'm freaking pissed regardless! What's the solution?

It's been working on and off as of late. I've reverted to SMS, sucks.

BUDWEISER MAN OF THE MATCH?
PLAYER: HOWARD WEBB
POSITION: SPAIN DEFENCE

I live in Venezuela and me as well as some people I know are having issues with it´s BBM. Messages that are sent and don´t turn from D to R or don´t even show the D and they are in fact delivered or they are not sent at all... I thought it was a Carrier issue, but reading the posts, it looks like a RIM issue...
