via TechCrunch
RIM said Thursday morning its BlackBerry service had been restored to all terrestrial worlds after the worst outage ever. BlackBerry Messenger is still spotty on Vulcan, but service is back to normal in the other Federation planets.
The company said in an investor call that its infrastructure suffered a hardware error and the problem cascaded, CNN reported today.

Black Berry is equal to Apple. Yes wonderfully inventive and slightly persisting on the odd ball side and well will eventually fall off a cliff, but the slope is gentle enough simply because they are innovators and yes persistent.
If only they stop being so egocentric and continue force the original IDEAL upon the public. Yes they found or attractive nerve in the beginning, but it was really on the side and the only success they really achieve was just tickling us. True joy is actually hitting the nerve DEAD center! SMACK ON!
"" LET GO OF YOUR EGO and you will achive future SUCCESS"".
In this you will need to find your own new beginnings!
Care about the whole of the people! And of course, be yourself and forget your ownself-let go of ego!
shut up bubba
Explain "hardware error".
