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.

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.
