Link: BlackBerry service outages keeping your weekend interesting? - Engadget. And, here we go again. This weekend finds some BlackBerry users reporting more outages and lack of service. RIM has had sporadic problems with outages over the past year, and the problems are highlighting the difficulties faced by messaging services that route through a single host location. Standard email services run through many hosts, and a problem can be fixed by alternative locations. Of course, the counter argument is that there are so many BlackBerry users that outages are magnified. We report, you decide.

I've never understood why Blackberry doesn't sell proprietary hardware to the large-scale users, and let THEM deal with the outages.
