BlackBerry-maker RIM says it believes a major North American BlackBerry service outage that started yesterday and lasted into early this morning can be attributed to two recent flawed updates to its popular BlackBerry IM application, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). RIM has issued a new BBM update to address the problem.

BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion (RIM) (RIM) appears to have resolved the problem, and service is mostly restored at this time.

If you're running either of the problem-versions, you should update your software immediately via BlackBerry App Worldor at BlackBerry.com/Messengerusing your BlackBerry Browser.
