Breaking: BlackBerry BIS down in North America

man-screaming-on-phone

This morning, North American BlackBerry BIS users woke up to e-mail troubles.  In a statement, RIM acknowledged the outage:

“Some BlackBerry customers in North America may be currently experiencing delays receiving e-mail.  Our technical teams are working to resolve this issue. for those impacted.  Phone services, browsing, and PIN-to-PIN messaging are not impacted.  We apologize for any inconvenience.”

As of 4:00 EST, RIM claims that the issue had been resolved, however e-mail is still delayed for me (and the others that I’ve spoken to).  How’s your e-mail?  Sound off in the comments section!

  3. RIM admitted that it was a result of clearing out a backlog of messages. Provisioning shouldn’t be that slow (with the exception of rare cases).
