BlackBerry Uers Frustrated by Recent Outages

Tom Krazit writes on C|Net News:

Sporadic interruptions in Research In Motion's BlackBerry service to four major U.S. carriers were reported by some customers on Wednesday, with no signs of when a fix might arrive.

Several customers with Cingular, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and Sprint's Nextel service reported delays, outages and problems with their BlackBerry Internet Service, or BIS, starting early this week and continuing through Wednesday. A Cingular customer told CNET News.com that his carrier support representatives were pointing to an issue with RIM's servers--a diagnosis that a Cingular representative confirmed.

RIM representatives were unable to provide information about the outages. T-Mobile and Verizon representatives had no immediate comment on the problems, and a Sprint representative did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
