I've a few of my friends whose world has temporarily come to a standstill because their 'BlackBerries' have been erratic. They're part of over a million BlackBerry users, all over the world, who're left without text communication services for a third day yesterday as RIM(Research in Motion), the originators of the BlackBerry, struggled to fix what it called was a switching fault in its private network.
Users in Europe, West Asia, Africa and India suffered from erratic e-mail service and the malaise has spread to its users spread across South America viz.in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. If the fault isn't rectified quickly, the consequent negative sentiments towards RIM could dent its market outlook vis-a-vis Apple and Samsung, who're its competitors.
RIN has been extremely popular with the youth by its free 'BlackBerry Messenger'(BBM) and I believe, the latest joke making rounds on the twitter, post the faux pas, is "What did one BBM user say to the other? Nothing!"
Tailpiece.
Thankfully we, in India, need not lose sleep over the problem because most of us are still struggling to be abreast with the technology, available with us, that's years behind in vintage!
