RIM Blackberry Nationwide Failure!

"A system failure knocked out BlackBerry service to millions of customers late Tuesday but the company said Wednesday morning that service for "most customers" was restored. A statement from the company said: 'A service interruption occurred Tuesday night that affected BlackBerry in North America. E-mail delivery was delayed or intermittent during the service interruption. Root cause is currently under review, but service for most customers was restored overnight and RIM is closely monitoring systems in order to maintain normal service levels,' the statement said."

All I can say is "ouch!" I cannot imagine what it would be like if all Windows Mobile handsets suddenly had a nation wide system failure and stopped delivering our important emails. An incident like this should be enough to make any Blackberry user cringe. There is good news for all of our readers that do happen to carry RIM products. Amazon.com is offering the Samsung Blackjack for as little as $50USD with activation! Keep in mind, some mail-in rebates apply! ;)
