This seems to be mainly effecting AT&T BlackBerry users in the Southeast markets but there have been reports of issues internationally. The issue seems to be growing currently as they are trying to reroute data through a different datacenter. Right now there is no estimated time of resolution.

So you can plan your schedule…
I got an email from www.dataoutages.com that there will be an outage this coming Sunday in the Americas in the early morning (or late sat night for the west coast). The outage is scheduled for 2 - 6 am Eastern on the 22nd and will be taking everything down with [...]

I am still missing the draw to the Javelin but I guess we need something to rumorize about. Engadget Mobile got to videotape the BlackBerry Javelin again. Once again it seems to be a dummy device. Once again nothing really new.
As you can tell I am still trying to understand why I should be [...]

Cherri from PinStack just noticed that RIM has released another cool theme. It seems to be for the 8300 & 8800 series devices.
These one seems to another one of the themes that will be available from the yet to be released Plazmic CDK update. For those running OS 4.2 enjoy and those running OS 4.5 [...]

Kevin at CrackBerry scored some awesome up and personal pictures of the upcoming BlackBerry KickStart. Not that I will ever go back to a suretype device but I know some people who are dying to get their hands on one. Personally I think it looks good but that screen looks really small…
