BlackBerry endures another outage

Ben Charny writes in C|Net News:

A number of BlackBerry handheld wireless devices experienced service problems on Wednesday, marking the second time in less than a week that the popular devices lost their data connections.

A RIM representative said a hardware failure Wednesday triggered a backup system that operated at a lower capacity "than expected." Service has been restored, she said.

BlackBerry customers, including a federal agency in Washington, D.C., were told by RIM on Wednesday of an outage affecting accounts nationwide and across all carriers, according to an e-mail from RIM seen by CNET News.com. Similar warnings were posted at Internet chat room PDA Street.
