LMAO, I aven't stopped laughing since monday.

BB ohhhhhhhh see what they told us today, "The messaging and browsing delays being experienced by BlackBerry users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, Brazil, Chile and Argentina were caused by a core switch failure within RIM's infrastructure. Although the system is designed to failover to a back-up switch, the failover did not function as previously tested. As a result, a large backlog of data was generated, and we are now working to clear that backlog and restore normal service as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we will continue to keep you informed. " "http://crackberry.com/blackberry-services-down-again-emea-region"

The issue now is that Blackberry can be the most boring phone on earth without it's BIS services. But its a plus to some people especially me, In the past when you try to gist with a babe especially when am on my way back from work and am in the BRT bus. While gisting with her, she would keep asking for excuses at every 2mins to respond to her PING then wuld apologize after. I find it annoying, cuz it makes the conversation boring. But since Monday evening, they have been a bit different. In fact they are the ones that would start up the conversation.

Whats your experience?

Can the moderator please enable me to add "k" to the spelling of my "Blackberry" instead of the spelling i wrote ""Blacberry"

Real funny

am kinda glad, Now i can drop my bb witout checking every minutes to respond to pings and all,

There should be a mini thread title 'How are you coping with your blackberry friends?'

My roommate finally cooked rice without burning it, he had no pinging distraction.


The best part.
He now sees why my Android is better than his crack,

Coping Without Blackberry: How Has It Been?

What a ridiculous question!

I don't use the thing- the way people use it Nigeria is very irritating! Good riddance!

;d

Meeen, Its tough I must say. But hey! I guess I am trying to learn from this outage. I reckon my phone bill will be higher than when BB was active sha   wish they would sort it out sharp sharp!

server will be put online again in a few hours for testing. the new bbm specially designed for os7 actually had alot of bugs during test that resulted to this, all will soon be ok but dont expect the bbm 7 sooner.

Omo no be small thing ooo!!! But man go survive, at least I did before I bought the phone.    

Allah! I no go lie I miss pinging. The truth is that bb is irritating to pretenders but for me o, I love pinging. Besides, BIS is not only about pinging cos you can be on the move while working or keep in touch with your loved ones. Shikenan!

Hahahahaha. Blackberry without it's pinging stuff is just like a Nokia Java Phone

Hahahahaha. Blackberry without it's pinging stuff is just like a Nokia Java Phone

And with pinging, it's like a Nokia with whatsapp.

I hate it when i hear the less priviledge say that they hate BB, I can only listen to those using the Iphone4, Galaxy Tabs, The Andriods and Ermmm HTC family etc, Not that you are making use of a Sagem X6 or Nokia Xpress Music 5510, And you come here to shout. You can't be a Fan of BB cuz your condition made you that way.

Honestly its more fun with this issue of network failure,at least now i am able to relate with my friend more better than before, blackberry is really driving most people crazy.

It is your type of thinking that makes people who cannot send SMS by themselves carry a Blackberry around like a donkey carrying books it cannot benefit from.

the  bb phone is so  dead boring now, its not better than a 3310 now. Thnk God i down loaded some games that i play on it, if not i for throw my bb away. but the cool part, when i get home, i connect my bb to my internet  and browse with it when am too tired to browse with my computer, so, at al at all na em bad pass,

So who is going to compensate us for the lost days? Its hundred naira everyday and I have already lost 4 days out of my GLO comonth.oh dear me, I missss pingn soooo much including the functional apps

Was life not cool without fone let alone bb of yesterday?

i don't have a blackberry so am not bothered  if they go extinct,pls switch over to nokia.thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I've definitely been receiving much more calls than usual. hehehe

as many BB users go get a NOKIA 1100, its so much fun, lol

I wonder how the ashys have been negotiating business during the BB Messenger outage.

i agree, .it's HARD. bb sucks without bbm. it's the stickiest feature. i wouldn't be using a blackberry without bbm.  but this one wey them say iphone go get imessage, i'm still going to wait until more friends around the world get it before i switch.  i've deleted my fb n only use twitter sometimes. my Torch broke within one year. i am honestly sick of ""renting" phone which is what we are doing considering how phones these days don't last. I was going to just buy a new bb because the storm i downgrade to is a piece of crap .

Omo! Blackberry is full of fun, there is never a dull moment with BB…, I pray they resuscitate it soon o…, God I beg…

I bought my BB mainly for the browsing experience rather than chatting and funny enough I've still been able to browse using Opera mini 6 (not the BB native browser).

My only pain only comes from not being able to use the Facebook app for BB. This is faster than going thru a browser to access FB.

I wonder why I've still been able to browse on BB?

pathetic bunch of addicts!
