Critical BlackBerry Outage!!! The RIM FUBAR Story
Many of us thought life was going well today when we were not receiving emails all afternoon. Some even thought they may have a chance to get out of the office early. It turns out that RIM had a critical BlackBerry outage all afternoon. Once again all of RIM’s big clients got the below email telling them about the outage. All the rest of us got the shaft and nothing else. Would it really kill RIM to send out an ALL CLEAR email when an outage is over? Maybe even a way to send an SOS message or let users know on their handhelds that RIM is having an issue?
Well the outage is over according to all reports. Emails sent during the outage are finally starting to trickle in. No official word from RIM about the outage has been released so it could still continue. I wonder what it was this time. Below you can see the email RIM sent out to the “privileged” customers.
