I’ve got 8:17am and the BIS service still appears to be down. Anyone else up and running?

Install the Gmail app for BB at http://www.google.com/mobile/mail/index.html

Most of the time this still works when RIM has an outage and you can set Gmail up to “fetch” mail from other accounts. Mine’s been working throughout this outage.
