so since yesterday i havent been able to send or receive emails or browse the web and i thought it has something to do with my replacement tour i got 2 days ago but i just called VZW and the rep said that RIM's serves crashed and no one is able to do either of these things. anyone hear anything about this?!?!?

[xooxlisaxoox]

Yeah, if you look at the Crackberry homepage it talks about this issue. Apparently its going on in North America and its not related to all carriers. I have Verizon and my service is down (can't send/receive email/ etc.) it can be down for 3 hours until 1 day...boo!

[bakarus]

same here for sprint, its been like half a day already and its really pissing me off

[yungwunn911]

my sprint tour is down too. effin pissed!

ps. im in jersey

[dvdowns]

i'm miserable...about to make a 20 hour drive with family...
NEED my blackberry to curb my sanity

really hope this is fixed in the next 3-4 hours

[WarrenWells]

My service is down... been down since around noon for me. I'm constantly switching between 1x, 1xev, and 1XEV. But even in 1XEV, it doesn't stay long enough for data to actually be transmitted.

Anyway, I thought it was just my phone! Glad it's not.

Oddly, reading your thread makes me feel much better. Lost connection to all three of my IM programs (Yahoo, AIM, gtalk, all with the same "connection error 65") and internet and email (BES) as well. Researched, tried, and/or discarded many ideas & threads until stumbling on this one. Having the RIM servers down stinks, no question, but least it's not some arcane nonsense with just my device or connectivity!

This is such garbage. It happens every two weeks. I'm firing BB ASAP...

I am starting to feel the same way....

[MM1983]

ya this is gettin a little annoying. im pretty new to blackberry, only 5 months, but this is just getting old and tired. i've noticed this happening more in the last 2 or 3 months. I dont remember having this much downtime when i first got it, but then again i'm pretty new to the scene. lol

[dunkchamp55]

im gonna sue rim for ruining all my friendships, i haven't had a single response to any bbm's in the last 2 days and ive been punching everybody in the face before they can tell me they haven't received anything......thanks RIM!!!!!!!!

[mjbesen310]

this is a HUGE crash.. biggest one I've known of so far.. wonder what happened?

[PoPcOrNPiMpZ]

Yeah, mine has been down four about 12 hours now. *cries*

[USSZulu]

I am guessing eggnog was spilled on the server Darn RIM Christmas parties!

In all seriousness...I don't think anyone knows except RIM.

BTW There is a thread in the Outage section of the board. http://forums.crackberry.com/f156/al...rriers-390599/

Lets hope they are not on X-Mas vacation otherwise things will be up by Monday

[kostnkost]

There is breaking news though!!! - BlackBerry outage affecting customers in North America - NewsChannel 9 WSYR

RIM says the cell phone part of your BlackBerry should be working fine.

[acetylcholine]

service is still down =/

vzw tour 9630 bbm 5.0.0.57 here =/

[i7guy]

Service is still down.

[jorGeorge]

This has become pretty big news now. Most major NYC news networks ran the story near the top of the hour. These outages are becoming pathetic and embarrassing on the part of RIM...

[FF22]

I saw someone mention Operamini was working but I don't have that installed but I had, on a whim, installed Bolt but never ran it. It worked. I was reading about HP's digicam not tracking black faces but tracking white faces - odd news for sure.

[Chrisy]

i'm glad i have Bolt. Although i was at 1x and 1xev for 3-4 hours (fell asleep thru most of that).

But, i don't have a PC so i couldn't read the news here!

Bolt is working now.

[tracksforhire]

Rim sucks azz

[clg81]

havent got an email since 9am 12/22/09 or browser but i can teather to my laptop on uscc

[Slingbox]

i was at 1x and 1xev for 3-4 hours

I had the same thing going on
