BlackBerry in North America hits another outage

BlackBerry maker Research in motion confirmed that users of the smartphone across the Americas are experiencing delays in Message delivery.


"Technical teams are actively working to resolve the issue for those impacted. RIM apologizes for any inconvenience experienced by customers," read an e-mailed statement from company spokesperson Jamie Ernst. Ernst declined to elaborate, however, on the cause or extent of the outage, and offered no estimated time of repair. 



The company apologized for the outage and assured subscribers it technical team are working to solve the problem, similar to what happened on Thursday when email and Internet usage was restored only by mid-afternoon. Blackberry's phone function, though, is working.
The first outage coincided with the release of RIM's third quarter results in which the maker of Blackberry reported a $628.4 million profit, which is almost twice for the same quarter in 2008.
