<A HREF="http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-6177072.html?tag=nl.e589">A widespread system failure of Research In Motion's network</A> has left BlackBerry users in the Western Hemisphere without email on their handheld devices.
The problem, first reported on news site WNBC.com, is believed to have originated around 8 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday and has not yet been solved. Because the problem concerns the RIM BlackBerry network, all cellular carriers that support BlackBerry are affected. [Ed. note: Please bear in mind, your provider's tech support can do nothing about this problem, so please don't pester them with this issue. When the system is back you'll know because you'll begin receiving your email again.]
