RIM Issues Apology, Says Service Now Restored
Layoffs
I doubt that has anything to do with it....
Frankly, I use a Blackberry and I think the media coverage of this event is inflated.....so once every couple of years there's an outage, that's normal....big whoop.....the only thing that didn't work was the push notification for new emails, so if getting email was important, you could access email through the browser...it's an annoyance and a hassle, but not a huge one....not something big enough to make the phone unusable...
