Eh, could be worse.. could be OVER 9000!!

(Seriously though, ridiculous)

Kevin doesn't stop to amaze us with his never ending patience with Blackberry. Maybe he has an iphone4s as backup phone. =P

If you're having server problems I feel bad for you son, I got 900 problems and my BBM is one. :)

I'm usually positive, but all these software issues with the new BB7, I'm really worried about what the first few months of BBX is gonna be like. Luckily I'll be deployed, so hopefully it'll fixed by the time I get back.

Kevin, I smell Apple sabotage. You were just titled the "mobile nations" chief which gets you to experience ALL OS's, so Apple wants you now to be their true lover and a BB true hater.

Can't wonder but laugh.

I am leaning towards the people responding in your other blog. I think you have a faulty sim card or micro card. I"m leaning more towards your sim card.

Man this sucks *ss. RIM have shot themselves in the foot so often over the last 12 months it's a wonder they have anything keeping them upright at all.

This is just nuts! LMAO

A bad memory card will destroy a BB....went thru 3 Pearls before i figured out it was the SD lol^

Did you try a battery pull?

If these latest problems with RIM products wasn't so sad, it's be funny........

I feel like I'm following a script.

900mins=15hours=you won't be able to use it for a day =)

That's hilarious. I've never seen anything like that from any company.

I've been utilizing the SD that was given by VZ when I purchased my 9550 (Storm2) and I have to admit it bricked on me many times with the 9550. I've had BBM restore issues on it as well.

The same has occurred with my 9930 from VZ and after the initial white screen I said screw this $h!t and mad an attempt to get the 4s from VZ, but they told me I was just one day over my 14 day trial. I took it as a sign that I should ride out the 9930.....it bricked on me again this week - smh. WTH? I'll invest in a new SD and see if that remedies the issue.

Any suggestions on brand/storage capacity for a new SD? Anyone?

At least 900 minutes better then saying "Please try again in 60 days".

Ouch! We all know Kevin has more BB devices to switch to than both of the Co-CEOs combined, so very little impact I guess. lol.

At least Kevin uncovers such silly error messages

Observations:
1) How terribly would this effect a user with a single device?
2) 900 minutes is quite a while. Where are the whiners stating that you should get additional free apps for your secondary outage?
3) I searched for this issue, and came up with nothing. Why don't you start a thread about your issue in the 9360 forums?

You will get more answers there. lol.

Hahaa.

No issues here Kevin. :D

RIM blow chunks ...and they continue to fall apart

That's not a bug, that's a feature.

And people think RIM isn't dogmeat.

That plus the random bricking of the other phone does sound like SIM card issues to me. Take it to Rogers and get another one.

Are you sure this isn't just happening because you tried to restore too many times on multiple devices? At any rate, I'm pretty sure Kevin isn't the average user as I don't see too many people complaining about 'bricked' phones but I'm not a heavy user, so I don't know.

These are just another reason they need to get the BBX phones out the door. Hopefully, they don't think they have the luxury of playing it safe and go for something that is game changing. Android is trying to become the MS of the mobile space and I don't really like the idea of having to use a device that is constantly in a beta test.

More than a month now with my 9900 on bell, no issues, hangups, brickage or anything of the sort... Every leak installed (not that there's been many)... All beta zone apps installed... I guess I got lucky??

"this post killed a little time" means 23 minutes? that's more scary than the fact that it's telling you to wait 900 minutes.

I just went back to my Bold 9700 after the iPhone 4. I guess I will be the last person on earth using a BlackBerry haha :p

RIM death watch has begun folks, mark my words.

Poor Kevin, two bricked Bolds and a curve that can't BBM.

The weirdest errors I got on my BB were due to faulty MicroSD card. Try using a brand new MicroSD card.

When it's down to 5 minutes you'll get an update saying wait until February.

Wtf Rim, now you even have your chief BB fanboy ragging on you and twice in a day!
I better sell my RIM shares tommorrow before its too late ...

Kevin,

I'm totally dissatisfied with your latest posts. Yes I understand that we're all disappointed with RIM lately. But I come to this site to read the good blackberry news, not retarded blog posts like this one, or your last one about the bricked berry. If I wanted to read this kind of crap I would go to bgr or brg or what ever the hell its called.... I feel that not only am I being let down by RIM, but also by crackberry - and I'm also curious on your summer blog post that claimed we have an update coming that would make us say sweet??? What the heck Kevin... That was months ago now... I'm actually seriously doubting you even saw anything so spectacular... Blah blah blah... Ok I'm done my rant - but too many more posts like this and you'll lose your faithful following.

Nice!!!

I wish my PlayBook had this much excitement!

Sounds to me like it's a message from your email server not Rim, your blackberry tried to access the email account to retrieve an email that has your bbm backup. The server is in some database maintenance.

This is not a Rim problem, it's a Email Server problem.

It's starting to look like anytime there is a network loss of signal in the middle of delivering an email, when you have your Playbook email client open, a file can be corrupted on either the Playbook or the Blackberry causing either the Playbook email client to fail or the Blackberry to "brick" itself. This can happen whether or not you are using broadband or WiFi.

lol, douches

This blog post should really have been a posted in one of the forums on CB, not a main page diatribe. If this was a common/frequent issue among many BB users, I could understand posting it on the main page. However, it seems that whenever YOU have a beef with RIM lately, it's your own personal way of getting speedy resolution that the rest of us cannot get. If there are enough of these kinds of posts, people will start to leave CB. It looks as if the cracks are starting to show in 'Crack'-Berry. I don't know if you can see it or not, but YOU are becoming part of the negativity around RIM. It's really sad to see.

Hey RIMPIRE, can anyone shout kev a working bb?
