If there is one company that just can’t catch a break it is Research-in-Motion Ltd. (NASDAQ: RIMM). News that the company is having a large service outage in North and South America is only reminding Blackberry addicts that perhaps they do not truly need to be tied to a single email gateway network.
The company had previously blamed outages and interruptions in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa on a failed switch and backup. The outage has been either no emails, or burst emails, and the WSJ has even noted some missing emails overnight.
Talk about a company that cannot catch a break. RIM shares are ‘only’ down 1.1% at $24.13 in the pre-market trading session.
How must it feel to have gone from the hottest smartphone in town to the industry whipping boy? It is sad to say, but it is almost impossible to deny: the Crackberry has become the Crapberry.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts
Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.
It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.
We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
