Crackberry Email Fail

by Jay on December 21, 2009

UPDATE:

Last week, Research in Motion (RIM) experienced some kind of problem that

<gasp>

interrupted email delivery to BlackBerry users in North America.

You’d have thought somebody interrupted the delivery of air, by the reactions seen on Twitter. Seems a few hours without access to email on their mobile device is enough to send some Crackberry addicts to the edge.

Now, I’m sympathetic to a point. I mean, nobody wants their email disrupted.  But it’s not as though all email was unobtainable — it just meant you had to sit at a computer, rather than at Starbucks or on your toilet, to get your messages.

Update 12/23: Crackberry Fail Part 2 just a few days later. I’m starting to worry about some of my addict friends. I hope they survive.
