According to media reports, a recent outage affecting all US and some Canadian carriers whose subscribers have mobile e-mail service from RIM—began about 8 p.m. EDT yesterday. Resolution of the problem didn’t occur until 6 a.m. this morning. Delivery of the backlog of e-mails apparently may take longer.



RIM made the following statement: “A service interruption occurred Tuesday night that affected BlackBerry in North America. E-mail delivery was delayed or intermittent during the service interruption. Phone service on BlackBerry handsets was unaffected.

RIM has recently had success in expanding its traditional enterprise and government markets into the consumer market with its Pearl device. Earnings announced last week included a sizeable jump in sales and the addition of one million subscribers in the company’s fiscal fourth quarter, bringing its user base to 8 million worldwide.
