I accidentally left "email me when someone replies" checked, but it doesn't matter because the emails won't come through anyway. Accordingly, i have purposefully left it checked on this one.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/
I found a problem...it's called BlackBerry service. My Windows Mobile devices take away the extra layer making them far more reliable and in many cases less expensive to operate.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/
To reiterate from last outage... when will RIM learn that their connection model sucks. BES has its place, but with the huge surge in non-business consumers, they gotta learn that pseudo-IMAP and their Proxy-bollocks is AWFUL (not to mention expensive to operate!)]]>Dec 22nd 2009 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/
On the upside, these replies have shown me that POP3 email is working. That's a plus, no?]]>Dec 22nd 2009 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/i know the outages dont happen all the time, but this is yet another reason i could never roll w/ a BB device. being stuck in a situation where my email/BB messenger is down would stop me in my tracks. Its really one of those situations, where just my luck, the one time where i really need something i either can't find it, or its broken. ]]>Dec 22nd 2009 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/
I think I just pooped a little bit I was laughing so hard....!!!!!!

BlackBerries might have their problems, but don't use that as a reason to try and push WinMo as a legitimate mobile OS. I can't say it any clearer than............... WinMo SUCKS.................]]>Dec 22nd 2009 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/all I know is at 6:00 p.m. CA time my email is down for the 3rd time this month. I have to keep resetting the email to load again everytime this happens. Now it says the server is busy and it can't do it. It's busy alright from 50 thousand people trying to reload again. ]]>Dec 22nd 2009 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Ah yes, just when you thought the last BB outage is done, then this one.

Co-CEO Balsillie decided to save money by not upgrading the servers. He said the money could be of better use trying to acquire a hockey team. Well, RIM's share price is dropping quickly and Google wants to take over the corporate smartphone business with Android-powered devices, so RIM's days are pretty much numbered. I'm sure some BlackBerry has already been hacked to run Android. In fact, that very same Android FrankenBerry probably brought down the email servers.]]>Dec 23rd 2009 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Telling them to make more Droids and iPhones?]]>Dec 22nd 2009 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/

They'd like you to think twice about having a BlackBerry all together. Perhaps you'd be better with an iPhone...no? Perhaps you should consider a far better experience like Wimdows Mobile or Android at Sprint speeds.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/Dec 22nd 2009 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/blackberry-services-down-in-north-america-yet-again/
Android and Iphones are so much better.

And yes I get by corporate exchange email synced to my iphone over the air on the $30 ( not $45 ) plan with 23% employee discount.

Totally agree. Got corporate BES (working fine) on a Bold 9700, and a personal iphone syncing via Exchange Activesync. If it wasn't for corp policy with BES, i wouldn't even bother with a blackberry.

I don't know why people use a BB unless you have the power of BES; which even then is easily replicated with Exchange Activesync
