A major outage hit BlackBerry users in North America on Monday afternoon, cutting off wireless e-mail for everyone. The problem, which BlackBerry owner Research In Motion described as a "critical severity outage" affecting users in the Americas, once again raised concerns about the stability of the e-mail service 10 months after a widespread crash last April.
RIM notified its clients of the outage in an e-mail.
That is almost funny, let’s see, our entire email system crashed and so we send out an email to all of our clients.
Yes sir. that’s some funny wash right there.
