North American BlackBerry Outage

This isn’t just a report — it’s coming straight from Research In Motion. They’ve acknowledged that BlackBerry service was down yesterday. Service reportedly returned to some capacity by 5:30 p.m. It should be back to normal by now. According to RIM support account manager Bryan Simpson, the outage affected “business clients and ‘users of the Americas network’.” I was running some errands around that time, and noticed no missed emails. A few actually came through, I believe, but that could have been prior to 3 p.m., when the outage was acknowledged. Anyone still having problems?
