I know that nothing is up for 100% of the time, I don't expect that. It just seems to me that Blackberry seems to have outages more than other devices, mainly because they rely on RIM servers.

I do love my Blackberry, I'm not a helpless addict who can't peel himself away from the thing for 5 minutes, but I am a "fanboy" I guess you could say. If Telus goes down for example, then every device on their network will be out of commission. But if RIM goes down, a Telus Palm or WM device or phone will still work.

Any reason why RIM outages have become more frequent? Only thiing I can think of is the influx of new users because of, for example, Telus' $15 unlimited data plan (on device usage) and other carriers who have launched $15 unlimited email/im plans as well.
