Worrying times for Blackberry: Problems with BBM spread to US



The latest development follows two days of blackouts across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Users began to report loss of services on Wednesday, with many turning to Twitter to complain about their lack of email.This has left Blackberry owners with only the ability to call and text, leaving Blackberry addicts to descend into madness.The Blackberry's owner, RIM, has blamed the problem on core and back-up switch failures; the cause is believed to be due to server problems at Slough's data centre.As news of the failure in the US spread, one user tweeted: "What is the status here in the USA? I am in New York and there seems to be no email service."
Many users have been complaining and Blackberry are seeing sales dip to rivals Apple and the new iMessage, which comes with the new iPhone 4S. A bad sign, as Blackberry is down on the day that Apple releases iMessage. This would be an incentive for Blackberry users to jump to Apple, especially with the iPhone 4S being released on Friday.
