And here we go again. The Boy Genius Report reports that the Blackberry network has just had another outage.
“This is getting a little bit ridiculous, folks. We here at BGR have trouble putting our Blackberries down. Seriously. It’s a problem. That said, we’re getting a little bit frustrated with RIM following the 3rd service interruption [...]

Seriously after so many years you would think RIM would have learned how to remove Single Points of Failure from mission critical services! While this is not going to make people run out and buy a Windows Mobile device it will reduce peoples confidence in relying on their BlackBerry.
From Marketwatch.com:

…the interruption was brought on by [...]

I am curious as to what happened to people during this latest outage. How did you handle the outage? If your story is interesting enough I will republish it later in the day.
I was actually stuck out in the middle of New Jersey trying to pull up Google Maps to get some directions. Sadly [...]

Earlier GadgetCanada.ca posted some screenshots of BlackBerry Unite. They have since taken them down but the pictures are already out.  For all of those people (including me) who thought BlackBerry Unite would turn out to be vaporware we have some more proof that it may come to to a continent near you soon. I just [...]

I came across two posts over the weekend that really perked my interest and decided to share them. First are some live screenshots of OS 4.5 and BES 4.1.5 SP5 live in action. This is some pretty hot stuff delivered courtesy of Jibi from BoyGenius showing us just what to expect in these new releases. It seems [...]

Well you know how RIM likes to make promises? They have finally delivered on one they made months ago by partnering together with Verizon to release the small business oriented BlackBerry Professional Software. This software is more of a watered down BES for 30 or less users.
You can read the glorious press release below:

Stefano just sent me a link to an article on MacWindows.com describing Microsofts dropped support of plugins/addons in Entourage 2008. I am no Mac expert but this could be a real pain for many people who were using The Missing Sync to keep their devices in sync. Supposedly this lack of plugins in Entourage means that [...]

Documents To Go by DataViz for BlackBerry has been delayed for quite a few months now. Recently we found out it was because it was going to be integrated with OS 4.3.1. DataViz has finally proven that they have a product by showing off 12 screenshots of the new application to edit Excel, Word, and other office documents. Thanks Josep [...]

RIM has recently been making some serious promises and has yet to deliver on any of them. The funny part is that they keep their new devices under tight wrap until they are released but when it comes to software they just talk and talk for months in advance. These scheduled updates will (supposedly ) [...]

I an email with Josep of Miblackberry he reminded me about a RIM powerpoint released in October 2007 showing the BlackBerry Server roadmap. This powerpoint mentioned clearly that BES 4.1.5 was supposed to bring Rich Content and HTML to BlackBerry emails.

My question is what ever happened to BES 4.1.5? We are waiting RIM! BBSmart and Empower have [...]
