Blackberry is suffering from it’s 3rd service outage in 9 months – and it’s second in as many weeks… hopefully this isn’t a trend.

While the outage was noticeable, everything is running ‘relatively’ smoothly now – although I did notice spottiness over the weekend. My emails were arriving in delayed clumps and at one point AT&T deactivated the email service despite the voice and data plans running normally (error message “User Suspended”). In other news, I plan on calling AT&T and upgrading to the $99 Unlimited Voice Plan first thing on Feb 22.

PhoneMag is reporting: “Beginning at 3am this morning, apparently around 80-percent of all BlackBerry devices in the continental US have been affected by the issue, with the fault spanning networks and models.”
