Yet another BlackBerry outage?

General

We’re hearing a lot of reports that RIM’s BlackBerry network is down again. This isn’t confined to one carrier (we’re on AT&T and ours is a wrap). It looks as if Waterloo has acknowledged the issue, and classified it as a "critical severity outage". Not looking good. Let’s go, readers. Are you down for the count? If so, list your carrier!

UPDATE: Here is the officialness:

    Porsche, Ladies and Gentlemen…give it up for Porsche…Who has the nerve to call me a dummy and even can’t spell YOU’RE. Class act.

    I’m just saying, I tried it and I realized that the BB isn’t for me. And what do you mean by I can’t lose what I don’t have? Just want to see yourself in the comments section huh?

    Still down in East TN.
    Our users have Sprint/Nextel, AT&T AND Verizon. The verizon users are trickling messages from yesterday, still nothing on the Sprint and AT&T side.

    I’ll be damned if I’m reloading BES again!
