As far as I can tell, this is still an issue as my BlackBerry still isn't sending/receiving emails.

With any luck I’ll be able to avoid being given a Crackberry by The Corporation. Hate getting email while on The Throne.

Ours are up and running this morning. I’m in the SE. Heard this on CNBC this morning around 6:00 AM. As of 7:00 AM I was receiving and sending fine.

News said this morning that the company sent out an email to notify everyone it was down.

I don't think it's a sunspot-related problem:

"The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on April 18 due to effects from CH265. A high speed stream from CH266 could cause unsettled to minor storm conditions on April 19-21."

I love getting email wherever I am. I’d give up phone functionality before email.

Note to users: Filing electronic tax returns on your Blackberry at the last minute is not a recommended practice. ;)

I couldn’t get on the internet on my Blackberry last night. I first noticed it around 8 pm. I didn’t try to send an email though.

We got this earlier from RIM:

- Outage began at 08:11 PM EST on 4/17/2007
- Outage affected all users in the Americas
- Users in the other global geographies, including Europe and AP, were not affected
- Users from the Americas roaming internationally using their native SIMs were affected (GRX roaming)
- Messaging, PIN to PIN, and management capabilities were unavailable during outage
- Users may have received messages intermittently throughout the night

Mine is working again now... was out overnight, but our reports are that outages are still spotty. Some people around the country still not getting anything. We still have a backlog of messages in our queues. Apparently they’re throttling back to keep the flood of queued messages from swamping and killing the system. My guess.
