RIM confirms BlackBerry e-mail outage
The outage seems to be hitting all BlackBerry users who rely on RIM's Internet-based e-mail service instead of corporate servers, regardless of carrier.
Talk about unfortunate timing. Research In Motion (RIMM) has confirmed reports that Blackberry users across North America have been experiencing e-mail problems this morning. Evidently, the outage is affecting all BlackBerry users who rely on RIM's Internet-based e-mail service instead of corporate servers, regardless of carrier.
This, just hours before the company is to release its third-quarter results.
In a statement, RIM said customers "may be currently experiencing delays receiving email" but phone services and PIN-to-PIN messaging are working just fine. If offered no explanation for the service interruption, but said it engineers are doing all they can to resolve it.
