Blackberry specific services are down, according to tweets from <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#%21\/VodafoneEgypt\/status\/123750511374630912\">Vodafone Egypt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#%21\/TMobileUKhelp\/status\/123750850437971969\">T-Mobile UK<\/a>. This comes after they recently fixed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2011\/10\/10\/uk-data-server-failure-sends-blackberry-devices-offline-in-europ\/\">server failure<\/a> that sent European services down yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since BBM seems to be the most popular reason to stick with Blackberry (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.friedyoda.com\/noisecast\/2011\/08\/rim-releases-the-same-damn-blackberries-again-again\/\">it sure isn&#8217;t the hardware<\/a>) then maybe they&#8217;ll want to get this fixed, double-time. It sure isn&#8217;t easy to be RIM right now. They&#8217;ve got executives jumping ship, IT departments accepting other mobile phones, and even the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2011\/10\/11\/raytheon-shows-off-transtalk-speech-translator-for-android-hope\/\">Army is looking for at Android Apps<\/a> for use overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RIM, you need to hurry up and get your stuff together. You&#8217;re about due for something awesome, but you have to make it happen, and this isn&#8217;t the right way to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2011\/10\/11\/blackberry-services-offline-for-some-in-europe-the-middle-east\/\">Engadget<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blackberry outage hits Europe, Middle East &#038; Africa!
