That’ not the point, Damian. The point is that we’re a bunch of addicts and go into withdrawal when Berrynet goes out.

Damian,
I agree. But I get pissed when the outages always happen when I really need my Berry. Such as this time when I was stuck out in the middle of nowhere without GPS.

I’ll answer the question… Yes.
Anyone that can not, needs to re-evaluate their lives/work habits. If you need better than 99.95% uptime, you need a backup plan, that’s just plain business 101. Look out for yourself, don’t blame someone else for your failure to cover your own ass. We are hinging so much of our lives on these electronic mediums that can be utterly destroyed with the smallest of gliches, who’s to blame the destroyer or us for relying on them.

But maybe RIM needs to read this: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/01/22.html

I’ve posted this before, but it is relevant again.
