A resolution is being worked on and your patience is appreciated.

Could this also be the cause of why I lost all my BB messgae contacts?

Hi Michele,

Any ETA on this yet? Considering the length of the outage so far and the apparently large area affected (based on some BB message boards), I assume we're talking something pretty "serious" here.

Any update yet?  This is ridiculous.

is this just a verizon issue or are all carriers experiencing?

This couldn't have come at a worse time. This is very ridiculous! Any ETA would be nice.

lol to everyone above ....... it looks like we all registered today

Thanks for the update but after spending some $$ to get my wife and I BlackBerry Curves yesterday, you can sense the frustration I, as well as many others have.

And of course this is the second time in a week this has happened!

8:06 PM and still issues.  Apps are all out and no emails being received.

PatrickTX: Based on the conversation going on in the Crackberry Forums, I'd say it's all carriers. Sounds like it's an issue with RIM's servers, not VZW.

Thanks.
