UPDATE: Gizmodo just reported that “According to Verizon, the outage is over. On their Twitter account, Verizon also clarified that, despite earlier reports, this was an issue in the eastern US.”
We have been hearing sporadically over the last few hours that Verizon users on the east coast are having issues with data. This so far has spanned from Droid users like MobileCrunch’s Matt Burns to BlackBerry users.
Anybody else experiencing issues? Let us know in the comments. So far we have not heard anything from traditional channels so this could just be a localized issue.

DC metro area. Yes both my Storm and my Tour had “ev” this morning but a reboot of each had me back to “EV”. Whatever outage there was it was short.

Lost service for about 10-15 minutes in Hoboken, NJ around 10am this morning. Power cycled the radio and was fine ever since.
