Brad McCarty reports for The Next Web, “If you’ve been trying to check your BlackBerry messages today and aren’t getting anything, you’re apparently not alone.”
MacDailyNews Take: What is this, 2004? That’s the last time we “checked our BlackBerry messages.” It’s amazing that some people today are so far behind the times.
McCarty continues, “According to widespread reports, it seems that RIM’s BlackBerry network is having some problems today… We’re seeing reports from literally hundreds of Twitter users, and BGR has gotten a number of direct reports as well… According to a source with Sprint, the outage started at 5pm Eastern time yesterday and continued fully until 11:06 AM Eastern time today. While the fix is not completely rolled out to all users, it should be quite soon.”

MacDailyNews Take: DingleBerry.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Readers “Eugenio V.” and “Lynn W.” for the heads up.]
I just read on Twitter that it’s back in Cairo. Maybe they’re cycling service worldwide.
Makes no sense
You buy crap, you get crap. Period.
Brings new meaning to “BlackBerry Storm”
So, do they have their own satellite in orbit? A giant flying dingleberry?
Single point of failure. Brilliant.
The satellite actually orbits Uranus!
“literally hundreds”…oh my!
It’s the sort of thing you’d imagine would happen when you try and turn a one-trick pony text pager into a do-everything ‘smart’ gadget.
Silly Canadians…stick to making yellow beer and leave this “complicated” tech stuff the the professionals…
Literally hundreds?
…. So, all of their customers?
I’m not seeing this reported anywhere else.
If your service goes down and nobody notices, are you still in business?
DingleBerries?
Klingons around Uranus!
What is a Blackberry? I thought Blackberrys were replaced by smartphones?
Blackberries suck iPhone FTW!!!!!
