Earlier today we reported about Verizon and WiFi equipped Blackberry phones for 2010, and while we have heard a lot of news of late about the RIM Blackberry brand, outage is not on the list.
In the last hour it’s just this news we are hearing, for some users the RIM BlackBerry network is down. According to Business Insider, some users are experiencing problems when trying to connect to the Research In Motion / Blackberry service.
The article here explains that there are many reports on Twitter, and these tweets are complaining of Blackberry outage, but this may be limited to just the BlackBerry Internet service.
Do you use a Blackberry Smartphone? If so, how is your service tonight and what part of the country are you in?

Here in UK orange Blackberry 8310 No data coming through. spoken to service provider and have been told that RIM says that BT have cut through a fibre optic cable but surely that wouldnt affect the rest of the world or would it?
maybe it will if the server shuts off if it cant detect other connections at all times perhaps??
