I already figured out it is an all carrier outage, have enough phones laying around me to establish that.

This thread is more to bitch and whine about how its crap that the whole thing went down again, for the second time, in a week.

12/22/2009 11:53:55 PM

Okay my problem is way worse. I thought it was my phone messing up because I couldn't get my mobile uploads to upload to the new facebook 1.7, so I delete the app. I re download the app and as I am doing so I can't connect, next thing you know my entire address book is gone. All 406 #'s. At sprint they told me that it might give me some of my #'s back when the server goes back up and then I go to verizon and the guy says that all my #'s are probably in sync with the facebook. I know it might be false hope but I am PRAYING that when this gets fixed I will have my #'s back. What do you guys think?

12/23/2009 1:20:06 AM

"Blackberry users struggle with e-mail outage By The Associated Press Posted: Dec. 22 10:45 p.m. Updated: 14 minutes ago Research In Motion Ltd. said late Tuesday its technicians are working to resolve e-mail messaging delays on its Blackberry smart phones in North and South America. Phone calling and texting services appeared to be functional, but users in the Americas have been unable to send or receive e-mail messages. Would-be users tweeted their frustration on social networking site Twitter. Some said they also could not connect to the Internet. Waterloo, Ontario-based Research in Motion Ltd. said in a statement it apologizes for any inconvenience experienced by customers. It marks the second time in less than a week that BlackBerry users in North America have had to deal with e-mail outages on their Blackberry devices. Research In Motion said last Thursday that technicians had isolated and resolved the issue and were investigating the cause. RIM didn't say how many users were affected or how long that outage lasted."

haha yeah. RIM is turning into the laughing stock of the cell phone industry

Quote :

" UPDATED: 03:32 AM EST 12.23.09 * (CNN) BlackBerry customers throughout North America were without e-mail and Internet services for more than eight hours after a widespread outage that lasted until early Wednesday. Customers began receiving e-mails again around 2:45 a.m. ET. Initial reports of outages came from BlackBerry around 6:30 p.m. BlackBerry did not give a reason for the outage. It was the second such outage for users in less than a week. At one point, BlackBerry estimated 100 percent of its customers in North America were affected by the outage, according to an e-mail sent to customers. "BlackBerry subscribers may be unable to send or receive messages. Subscribers may also be unable to register their device, roam in another location, or use other services such as Internet browsing," the e-mail said. "BlackBerry Internet Service subscribers may be unable to use the BlackBerry Internet Service web site or perform activities such as creating new accounts, integrating third-party email accounts, or viewing email attachments." Research in Motion Ltd., maker of the devices, said it had about 32 million global BlackBerry subscribers as of the end of August. BlackBerry phones run on multiple wireless carriers, including AT&T, Sprint Nextel and Verizon. "

epic fail

"RIM Statement - December 23rd A service interruption occurred Tuesday that affected BlackBerry customers in the Americas. Message delivery was delayed or intermittent during the service interruption. Phone service and SMS services on BlackBerry smartphones were unaffected. Root cause is currently under review, but based on preliminary analysis, it currently appears that the issue stemmed from a flaw in two recently released versions of BlackBerry Messenger (versions 5.0.0.55 and 5.0.0.56) that caused an unanticipated database issue within the BlackBerry infrastructure. RIM has taken corrective action to restore service. RIM has also provided a new version of BlackBerry Messenger (version 5.0.0.57) and is encouraging anyone who downloaded or upgraded BlackBerry Messenger since December 14th to upgrade to this latest version which resolves the issue. RIM continues to monitor its systems to maintain normal service levels and apologizes for any inconvenience to custome"
