Scheduled RIM outage tonight (2008-03-28)
 

Hello Fellow Addicts!

Just a heads up that there will be a 4-5 hour outage of all RIM servers tonight starting at 11pm PST for upgrades to the BIS servers. So don't be expecting your emails, PIN messages and any other RIM server functions except calls and text messages to be working!

So don't panic tonight, and slam you BB to the ground cursing RIM as they are going to be upgrading. Just deal with it and go to sleep and in the morning all will be good!

Have a good day!

Ah man, guess I will have to use the pc tonight.

No bb?? 4 or 5 hours???
I'm going to flip out! wait, wait...calm down.... i will just smash a few iphones.

That always makes me feel better..... lol

I'm actually turning off my BB and turning off the cable modem for the weekend. If I don't get some downtime, I'm going to meltdown so this outage comes in handy for me. The other mods on the outage list are going to need to handle things.

Our BES admin people scheduled our internal server maintenance for the same time, so they must have already known about this planned outage...

I am sure they are quite capable, sit back, grab a couple beers (for 4 hours you might need to make a beer run or two first) and relax

haha i work the night shift!!! wtf i am up during the night and now i am losing my fix! :-o

well the last round of updates (well when it was supposed to happen) someone posted either here or on Dataoutages.com that the APAC update took 90 minutes or so. Here is hoping the same fo NA and EU

I can still get on with BB-life as I'm from APAC. lol
Peace to all NA folks, it'll be quick don't worry.

quick and painless huh? i sure hope so 8-)

My phone doesn't work. :-)

I guess it's for real.

yea i just noticed mines in lowercase edge, cant even load the Fido BIS site... its armegeddon!!!!

Same here I got nothing......

the world is ending!!! help us!! lol

Thats' funny I thought it would end when we all flew on planes with our BB on.

lol maybe this might make you guys laugh... hey gotta pass the time some how right?
