I just read 5 different sources talking about an outage planned for March 22nd between 1am and 5am EST in “the Americas”. I guess all of you who are on call with their BlackBerry devices will have the graveyard shift off? 
This planned outage is going to cause possible outages for both BES and BIS due to a database upgrade. It was so nice of RIM to tell us about this. 
I am not going to repeat the whole story again but check out these sources below if you are interested in more info. Personally I will be using this as a perfect excuse to turn off the electronic leash and have a good time.

It might be 01:00 in US Eastern seaboard but it will be Midday in Australia and although the outage is scheduled for North America, the last time you had problems there it affected systems here too…
I will let you know…
