When millions of people can't process orders, look up contacts, respond to support issues, get to your CRM, be notified of a downed server, send or receive email, etc., etc., etc., for an entire Monday afternoon, an executive or two needs to enter the job market. This is just not acceptable. RIM needs to fix this. @bluehorseshoe,

It's insulting for you to call out our host Robb and Thought just because they don't feel the need to defend RIM like a fanboy. RIM's service FAILED again. The TRUTH is RIM’s single point NOC is not a smart system for mission critical service, which the Blackberry service is (wrongly) thought to be. There are/have been too many service failures. Customers and IT dept's. are looking for alternatives. How many technology analyst's faulting RIM's single point NOC, how many RIM failures will it take for a fanboy named bluehorseshoe to LEARN the TRUTH and accept it? No matter how many desperate posts bluehorseshoe makes, no matter how many excuses bluehorseshoe makes for RIM's failures when RIM's service fails blackberry devices become paper weights. ps, bluehorseshoe keep your excuses to yourself.

The grown ups are talking about RIM and it's failures. Be bored and be gone, zip it and LEARN.

They are in a higher margin business (BB gets dragged down by the hardware costs for the phone) which allows them to spend on the meat and gravy...Linux Boxes. @ Robb Comon'. Those 'not having to' sit by your computer moments are how often and long? What did people do before the BlackBerry? When email service is down it will cost millions? No back up plan like making a call? Booting up? I understand the frustration level, but if you're in IT, then you're familiar that it applies to everything IT. @ Thought

@ Robb

Comon’. Those ‘not having to’ sit by your computer moments are how often and long? What did people do before the BlackBerry? When email service is down it will cost millions?

Don't think it's up to you or I to question the opinion of RIchard Williams, an analyst at Cross Research in Livingston, New Jersey. Noticed you didn't feel the need to FUD about Gartner Inc. analyst Phillip Redman statements. Get off your anti- iPhone thrown your FUD is the only boring thing here.... RIchard Williams of Cross Research also says your wrong. The FACT remains Massive Blackberry outage affects all of North America; iPhone (Nokia and Windows Mobile) users were unaffected. RIM's single point NOC is not a smart system for critical service. IT's WILL look for options and make changes. Those changes will include Nokia, WM and of course the iPhone. bluehorseshoe, if your getting bored then your free at any time to leave the discussion instead of wow’ing us with your FUD.

Comon'. If you're going to paste these stories where the company says the iPhone is “more than adequate” for business purposes, then find someone who has rolled them out to the level that a large BlackBerry shop has and lets see how they do and compare. Until that day comes, BB remains on top. http://www.manta.com/comsite5/bin/pddnb_company.pl?pdlanding=1&referid=4490&id=0m16rx I'm getting bored. @ hellno

Cross Research…all ‘6′ employees. Comon’.
