Some sources are reporting the outage to be over in certain areas. I can confirm that I have been getting email in batches from AT&T and Sprint in NYC on both BES and BIS for the last half an hour. Still no word from RIM…
FYI from RIM previously. I forgot to include it in the last post:

BlackBerry subscribers may [...]

Many of us thought life was going well today when we were not receiving emails all afternoon. Some even thought they may have a chance to get out of the office early. It turns out that RIM had a critical BlackBerry outage all afternoon. Once again all of RIM’s big clients got the below email telling them [...]

Remember those free games we mentioned during CES and after CES? I just got an email about them yesterday with a link to download my free game. The game varies by the device you have but I got the game SKATE for my 8310. The game is a hefty download at over 750Kb.
The SKATE game [...]

It has been AGES since RIM has released some free themes on their http://mobile.blackberry.com website. For over a year now they have had no themes compatible with OS 4.2+. Well that has just changed now that RIM has released two new themes for the latest BlackBerry devices. I am not sure exactly what devices the [...]

Sorry guys I don’t have the time to summarize this so I will just post what they sent. Don’t hold it against me.  The info is not that shocking but the FAQ’s on the bottom are interesting.

Great news! RIM recently announced an upcoming BlackBerry platform update with performance enhancements including the ability to support native [...]

Not long ago RIM relented and gave us a MP3 player, external media, and a standard headphone jack. Since then they have made some small improvements but the features and options are still pitiful! When OS 4.3 came out on the 8130 I was hoping for some nice additions but still nothing. So now we are hearing [...]

$890,000 seems like quite a bit of money until your remember that RIM paid out $612.5 Million to NTP to settle their patent infringement lawsuit in 2006. Josep just sent me an interesting article on CNN money that details the amount RIM has spent to lobby for patent reform. Patent reform has been embraced by [...]

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 [...]

I guess red is February’s color of the month for BlackBerrys and all the carriers are jumping on the bandwagon. I assume the red is intended as a Valentines day gift? 
Alltel is the latest carrier offering the same 8130 but now in red. The price is the same as the bluish version they offered until now at $149.99 after a [...]
