Yes, Blackberry services are down again for certain parts of the world. These things do happen and RIM is fully aware of this situation. They are working around the clock to fix the problem and further updates about the fix coming soon.
Meanwhile, yesterday was a bad day for RIM when the company disclosed lower than expected earnings in Q2. The company’s stock plunged more than 20 per cent this morning.
Shares dropped as low as $22.14 on the Toronto Stock Exchange with at least 7.0 million shares changing hands on Friday.
Profits fell 58 per cent to $329 million US in the quarter.
But RIM also says with the popularity of the OS7 and QNX based Blackberries soon to be rolled out, earnings are expected to rebound.
Update:
Blackberry officially announces BBM services back to normal via Twitter.
Hooray! Back to typing madly away on your devices!
All this whining I hear from people on twitter about bbm going down. Geta grip.
